the medieval project
about a week ago chanda realized that the fort tryon park medieval festival is happening on sunday, october 2nd. suddenly, a costume needs to be made. and it must be a costume that looks like lucy's costume from the narnia movies. and she also must have bows and arrows in a case to go with it. here she's working on the arrows. tomorrow morning we're supposed to go for the material, and i suppose the yarn for the case (which will need to be knitted and felted . . ?) and lest you think that morgana is not interested, oh ho, do not be so deluded. she has just been too busy to think about her costume because she has been negotiating ballet classes with her old ballet school. but today they took photos on the computer of the actresses in their costumes, and ideas are coming thick and fast. (sigh). i'm tired just thinking about this project.
we had minestrone soup for dinner, and then i fell asleep listening to the penderwicks on CD with them.

When I read this a few days ago, I thought that it sounded like a lot. Do you have any patterns for the costumes? Maybe you can save them for Halloween:).
ReplyDeletemorgana tends to make up patterns with her friend camille. it would be a perfect and fun halloween costume. chanda often has grandiose plans and it takes awhile to face reality. morgana has already downsized her project and dropped any thought of making the matching cloak she was intending . . thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteMaybe now it's doable.:)
ReplyDeleteyes, i hope so! chanda now has, also, let go of making the cloak for this year's celebrations. it took her a few days. just something to look forward to for the next year!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with what's left of the sewing projects!
