Well, my husband and I went to the Scarborough Renaissance Festival this last weekend and we had a great time! We saw a bald eagle during the Birds of Prey show and a great juggler and knife thrower. I have always been fascinated by that particular time period and it is wonderful to step into another time and place. It is very interesting to me how the Renaissance is portrayed at these festivals, all romance and fun, when the actual time was one of death and pain. When I go to something like this it makes me realize how blessed I am to live in the time that I do.
Anyway, this festival awakened my desire to sew and make clothing so I made my niece a dress yesterday and today. I'm hoping that it fits for a while so she can get some use out of it! Next I want to either sew myself a new clowning costume, renaissance dress, or something for everyday usage. I guess I'll just have to decide later! I'm also planning on getting my mom to help me create a dress form to use when I sew. I'll post pictures if I make one.
Well, I guess I've rambled enough for one post. Thanks for reading!
