Bring on the Ren Fest!

In a week that is.

I've been working on hats and shirts for Keagan and Cassidy. Not all of my attempts have been close.

But I've got down the patterns and I've got the shirts almost done and hats half cut out. :) Here she is practicing a pirate face (how horrible!) in one of the pre-hats.


I also made Keagan and crinkle toy shaped like a normal distribution.


I'd also like to point out Shannon's shirt in this picture. :)

And she just got her 4 month shots! Woo hoo! Way to celebrate the 4 month mark. :) She was pretty good with them. Cried for about 2 minutes, then calmed down and fell asleep. What a wonderful child. How lucky we are.

Christmas in Garden City

Shannon and I are spending this Christmas in Garden City. We left work early on Tuesday (which was 1.5 days before we planned too) because of probable bad weather on the drive. Luckily, we missed basically all of it. Shannon said there was only one slick spot near Garden. The rest of the drive was pretty good. There was some freezing fog, but the roads were okay.

We will be here until Sunday. I'll post some pictures later.

Then next weekend (New Years) we will go to Wichita to spend Christmas with my mom and family. :) I'm looking forward to the two Christmas' with family. I miss them and am glad they all work together so well, pretty much all the time. It makes life easier.

In other news, we got an adorable e-card from Julia, Pickle, and Autumn. Not only is she wearing a hat I made her, but she's giving a thumbs up! How awesome!

Summer of Sewing

Shannon has been working on two things at once. One is just researching alchemy to create one of his costume's books. The other is making a rather interesting alchemy game. It uses the above pieces.


While he's been doing that, I've been working on his robe for the alchemist costume. Above is a portion that shows off the awesome fabric. It uses SO much of it too. Everything is gathered, the sleeves, the front, the back, it's huge.


The other thing I've been working on is Nicole's birthday outfit. I have it basically done. It just needs some finishing touches. Shannon is modeling the hat. It needs ruffle and elastic still. But either way, it's gonna be way to big for that little girl's head.
