How's My Costume Coming You Ask???

In case anyone is wondering how my costume is coming along for the Reformation 500, here are some chosen pictures of the process....


Closeup of my vest...


Here are my grommets waiting to be spray painted...



Here they were with a primer and a finish coat. I decided the color was not the best...
too Milk Chocolaty. I made them darker as you will see on the end result...


My Costume also has peplums. Ten to be exact. My poor mom had to make ten of them!
What a saint!






I rebound my sword hilt in leather..

And last of all, a Picture of my knee Boots.....

So, maybe this post seems a little incomplete to you?

Well I hope so!

Just you wait.....

Books, Books, and More Books

Last Saturday our family went to the Circle Christian School homeschool curriculum book sale in Orlando. We all got up at 4:20 in the morning to get there by 6:00. I don't think the coffee helped much, because I was pretty out of it until the sale was over and we ate lunch. Thinking back, the only thing I remember is a ride in the dark, standing in line (because the sale opened at 7:00) and lots and lots and lots of books everywhere! As I think all of you know, we have a business selling new and used homeschool curriculum. Below are some pictures from our foyer and living room after we got home that night....

This was most of the books, about 1/4 had already been put away.

Art....




Here is another angle showing a little bit more of the room and books.....



I could not resist taking a picture of this picture in our foyer, it makes me laugh every time I really look at it...



All the rubber bands, string, and thread that were holding sets together...


Extra Long Fancy- I could not resist.

We are still putting the books away, and by tomorrow, Mom should have them nicely organized. :D

Thanks for stopping by...
