New Costumes

I made 3 Medieval dresses for Halloween costumes. They are girls sizes, 8, 7, and 6.

The gold and blue is a recycled bedspread with new blue lining fabric for sleeves.

The blue and black is made from fabric from DI. I used a black sheet for lining of sleeves.

The brown and gold is made from new brown cotton and the sleeves are from a former pillow cover.

I'm loaning them to three friends and will keep them in my costume closet or let Brigitte use them for photography.

Labor Day Fun

Rick has taken our Grandsons to the Annual Air Show for remote aircraft for about 5 years or more.  This year was no exception.  I went along to help out if help was needed.  But our little Paul (almost 2 years old) had a cold and had to stay home. Rick, Mason, Luke and Isis had a great time.  Luke's favorite was the Red Baron and snoopy doghouse, Isis loved the helicopter, and Mason loved it all.  One of the airplanes was 60% the size of the "real" one.  It was flying and exploded mid air. The audience was aghast and I was stunned when the announcer said we had just witnessed a $12,000 plane explosion.  The weather was clear and warm.  So, we stayed the entire 3 hours.  (I wondered if Isis neck was going to give out...but he stayed and was a real trouper)
