Finished the very shiny, very red butterfly cape for my daughter. (She picked out the fabric. I really thought she’d pick the blue version.) Will be a feminine addition to the dress up clothes for Christmas. I can’t wait to give take a picture of her in it. (The hood stands up like a gnome cap, won’t fall down. I’m only slightly trying to hide my evil mom laugh over it.) Turned out quite well for my first adventure with slippery fabric.
Just after cutting.
Finished!
Now to make 2 more capes (for other kids we know) and a tutu (for dear daughter). I wonder what I’ll find in the mean time to make for the boy-bo? (Need something hand made for him too.)
In life-in-general:
- My parents came out for Thanksgiving and together we traipsed to Mitchell to visit my aunties, uncle and cousins. Convinced Mom and Dad to pose for me, so I could have a recent picture of them together. (Always get vacation shots from them, but they’re not together in them.)
- Then Sunday I took the church staff Christmas picture. (Don’t have their permission or I’d post it. God was gracious and helped me get a super picture. YIPEE!) Crazy but good weekend.
- Weekend before boy-bo had his b-day. First time we had a party that wasn’t at the house. 12 kids - absolutely delightful chaos. (The delight was that I knew it would only last 2 hours - there was a limit. But they were pretty good kids.)
- Monday had a friend over and we tried a crazy 1920’s recipe that says to put a can of sweetened condensed milk in boiling water for 20 min, open can and slice. (We did take into consideration the likelyhood that today’s can’s might explode with this kind of abuse. So I opened the can.) Hours later - no where near slice consistency, but great caramel!
- Life with Christmas coming up is surprisingly more relaxed. I’ve been doing minimal housework though this week so I can get the extra things done.
- We re-arranged my little in home studio so I have the backdrops to the far wall. I love having more room to work with and be able to back up as much as I need. But there are limits - can only move side lights so far out now. (Only thing that would help would be if we can knock the wall to the laundry room out. hmmm.)
