We had a good time at Faire – I was able to help in the ‘traditional school’ – teaching kids how to make baskets and ragdolls – and learn about a few period handwork projects myself. I’m talking to another lady about working out something we can teach the patrons easily….we are doing research right now. Personally I think blackwork is beautifu!! Eric’s schoolmaster gig was well received and even some patrons joined his ‘classes’ on the constellation and the field trips.
One funny note…J3(2) and J2(7) stayed with Grammy. During one phone call to Grammy she said, “J3 is saying more words now! He can say bandaid….but you don’t want to know why!” LOL That cracked me up all day! And, I still don’t know why! hmm.
Off to take a nap with J3 – so tired!
