Lots of patterns. Good thing I enjoy pattern drafting.
This year we will be a family of 10 on our Medieval vacation. It will be Doug, the girls and I, my parents, my brother and his wife and 2 boys. Doug and I are good for garb, but the girls have grown out of most of theirs. We have some stuff that will fit the other adult-types, but I will need to pad out the wardrobes a bit. The boys will need everything made. My brother and his family will only be there for four days, so
There are a couple reasons for this post title. First of all ~ the rain. It rained Saturday night and all day Sunday. Doug’s school is right by a rather large river. He went to work on Monday, as all the smaller rivers were slowly draining the excess rain water into the large river by his school. Eventually, it was too much water and the town started to flood. He has been off the rest of the week. The girls have really enjoyed having him around.
I had to finish up the basket I started in my class over the weekend. It is the same as the one I showed before, so I didn’t take any new pictures. However, when I finished, I felt the need to play some more. So I made these cute little basket purses for the girls to have at Medieval events. ©Copyright 2010 Jessie Rayot / Jessie At Home All my videos, patterns, charts, photos and posts are my own work. … Read more
Remember my basket making post? I said I had to teach some friends how to make the baskets, also? That was this weekend. On Saturday, one of our Medieval groups had a Medieval University. It was basically a day full of classes to share the various Medieval arts and crafts we knew. I taught basket making to three lovely ladies, unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. I did bring the camera to the class. I even dropped it in the basket water. Luckily I fished it out in time, and all was well. I do have pictures from the day, just none from the class.
At the beginning of the day, Doug took the girls outside to play in the playground. The site we were at was a church with a preschool, and they had a wonderful playground. It was just right for our girls. They loved that they were able to play on the whole thing without needing help from Daddy. There were a few slides, and much sliding fun!
There was also a little house to play in, and to peer out from.
So much to do! I made a list of everything I want to have done by the end of Doug’s Spring Break ~ which is the first week of April. I have a lot to do.
But first things first ~ this is what happens when I leave the girls home alone with Daddy…
That would be a chocolate covered peanut butter bar in her hand.
