Renaissance Faire Take 2

The future doctor and the charming knight had a weekend planned to celebrate his impending birthday.

They survived a long, harrowing trek, all the way to Charlotte, North Carolina. Once they arrived, they feasted upon pizza, garlic pretzels, and ice cream, and watched many episodes of house buying shows so that they did not have to leave their room at the inn.

The next morning, however, it was time for them to embark on an adventure...

And they did. There was plenty of dancing, and music, and so much delicious food for them to consume.

There was also time for the future doctor to be pampered. At her last faire, her hair was still too short to be braided in any manner, and so this time, she was determined to take advantage of their short hair offerings.

They witnessed the majestic flight of a variety of birds of prey, and even spent some quality time with a pirate.

No dragons were vanquished that day, but it was probably for the best, as both the future doctor and the charming knight desperately needed a more relaxed weekend. And battling dragons is certainly not a relaxing endeavor.

Time for the Holiday Season!

Now that Halloween is over, and Thanksgiving is approaching soon,I can prepare for my favorite time of year!

Surprisingly, considering how much I hate the cold, I absolutely adore the holiday season. Everything is so sparkly and colorful and happy and fun! And it's the perfect time of year to cuddle with a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate, preferably with marshmallows in fun shapes or colors.

There will be several holiday projects still to come, primarily in the form of office decorations and homemade christmas gifts, but for now, I started with a wreath.

It started with a seemingly endlessly line of strips of fabric, cut to approximately the same size, in varying shades of cream, blue and green. It's what I had lying around and red and green is overdone anyway ;)

But eventually, the strips of fabric were wound around the wreath form, and hot glued in place (memo to self, buy a new hot glue gun). 

Just a sprig of fake holly left to be added and then...

Ready for the Holiday season to commence!
