I had a lovely day with my husband and parents yesterday. I showed my parents the
Paddock Arcade, where I broought my mother
Moontide Arts, the New Age shop, while the men waited outside. She really loved all the clothing there. We also went to some boutiques on Court St. like the fair trade/thrift shop and the new "Spinning Wheel." It was nice to walk around the city on such a gorgeous day. I bought myself a sun dress, a locally made soy candle, some incense, and a dragon soap dish for the bathroom*. We had lunch at
The Mustard Seed where my mum bought me some yummy vegan cookies. Later I served my family a homemade meal of shepherds pie, bread, and deviled eggs from the local farmers. My mum provided the wine and my dad brought us some dill mushrooms. Mmm!
Hubby and I are having a fun day today. We went outside to throw a football around, then walked our ferrets which was fun.
I finished assembling my sleeve skirt**. It was super easy. My husband had some button-down shirts that didn't fit him. Most of them are going to charity but I selected a couple to construct this fun and simple piece***.
I have to iron it again but I'm happy with it. I was thinking of adding some sort of trim but hubby thinks it looks fine as is. I may add some jingle bells but we'll see...
* Some of you may think that's awfully kitsch. Just remember that taste is relative!
** I got the idea from this Thread Banger tutorial.
