Tea Cups in the Garden

to our Medieval Feast!

I got my dress finished, whew!  I'll share those photos on Sew Crafty Friday.  I have the script typed out, printed out, highlighted for each participant, and the children are going through their parts.  I made the broth Sunday and tonight I got a few supplies at a few stores.

DS has been insistent that his Robin Hood character have boots.  At Jo Ann we found leather looking "fabric" in the clearance bin.  So we bought it.  I only had one idea of how to make an idea of a boot.  DS wanted the real McCoy!  There is no way I  can fathom trying to make real boots for him!  lol  I have enough with everything else to help the kids pull off this feast!  I told ds that in the real world, apprentices work for years to learn to make boots.  Undaunted, he undertook the project on his own, after a few ideas from me.  This way he is happy because now he understands the difficulties that lie in making boots, yet they'll be made to his level of acceptance!  lol

Here is my young determined cobbler.  Where does he get this drive to do the impossible????

Can't wait to see all the work you've done. I'm sure it will be awesome. What a clever boy your son is, to attempt making his own boots! Looking forward to hearing all about the Faire.

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
