Pennsic Preparations

topic posted Thu, July 5, 2007 - 12:54 PM by  Unsubscribed
I'm sewing like crazy, while trying to keep my little princesses from killing one another over summer break. To make matters worse, I'm teaching vacation bible school next week, which I completely forgot about, so I'll pretty much lose a full week I thought I had to get ready.

So how are everybody else's preparations going?

    I written lists.... I have been visiting my local goodwill shops and looking for things.... I bought a battery operated bubble machine for a dollar (for the bubble party) and I have been writing a lot of lists.
    I haven't done any sewing. I haven't doneany packing. I haven't built anything or painted anything... This year at pennsic is going to be interesting.

    Yikes, it is frightening that it is less than a month away! I'm also making a lot of lists. I've hit up my daughter's god-mother to make some garb for her, and we hit the fabric store yesterday. I'm gonna try to wip up a few t-tunics over the next few weeks. In the meantime, DH has to make a canopy for Lydia's wagon, bed frame for us, and a clothes rack.

    We had sort of delayed the preparations because we are going through the adoption process and we thought there might be a possibility that we might be bringing home a baby in August. We found out 2 weeks ago that the birthmother changed her mind and decided to keep the baby, so now we're scrambling with the prep work.

    I'm looking forward to this (am I crazy to look forward to bringing a toddler to Pennsic!!!!). We set up our tent in the yard, and Lydia loves playing in it, she's even napped in it.

    I appreciate the bath tips you guys provided earlier.

      I look forward to takign Drew each year to Pennsic. Sure I miss my wild crazy singleish asult nights out at pennsic but I wouldn't trade it for a moment of seeing the look in Drew's eyes when he realizes that he is outdoors allthe time for two whole weeks and he can play forever. I also relish the precious look of outright shock in his face when he also realizes that he will not have TV or Video Games for two whole weeks.... I relish that expression on his face.
      I haven't made any garb this year. I usually sew something but this year I haven't sewn a blessed thing. I am building a kitchen set up for my camp - that will be interesting. I am also plannign the fencing.
      It will all be fun!
