I was really proud of myself this year. I had a couple projects to make for ren faire and I wasn't sure I was gonna get them all done in time. Hubby and little man gave me lots of help with housework and "me" time so I could get it all done. And I must say, I was really proud of the results!

| Me and Little Man |
I officially finished my friend's pouch that he wanted for LAST year, but it didn't get done. Sigh. I try- I really do. Then I worked on Little Man's outfit, and it came together quickly and BEAUTIFULLY, much to my surprise. I must be getting better at this, because his outfit was almost a no-brainer. And last but not least, I made some upgrades to my outfit. Mostly it was structural improvement as the weight of the dress was creating too much stress on the seams, but I also made myself a French Hood in the early Elizabethan style. I was hoping to get to Hubby's pants since he had been wearing the pants from his musketeer costume for the last 2 years with his upper class surcoat, and I had hoped to get to making some hose (basically stockings or long socks) for Hubby and my friend, but alas, their legs must show a little longer. These were not REALLY on my list, but were just an "It would be awesome if I got to it" addition, so I don't feel too bad. After all, I have to have something to do next year.... :-)

What is the next big thing then? Well, my friend asked if he could commission me to make him a Fantastic 4 costume for Halloween. I have the blue stretch material already... Mwaa ha ha...
