Pilgrim Re-enactment

The Pilgrim Costumes were finished just in time for the Re-enactment!
Pictured here is the entire Cook Family along with 3 other homeschooling familes.
Baby Abigail is being held by Mama in the back row. Ezra is standing in front of Noah. Anna is in the front in the dark green dress. Elijah is holding the bow and arrow in the front row. Nehemiah is standing behind Noah and Elijah. Joseph is in the back row in the gray wide-brimmed hat. Daniel is in the back row with the blue tam. Papa is standing in front of Mama, in the dark blue jacket. And I am standing beside Joseph in the back row.
We enjoyed plenty of good old fashioned food. After dinner, the girls all made corn husk dolls and the boys enjoyed some target practice.
It was a very enjoyable time with our friends, and we hope to gather again next year!

Medieval Faire
Here are photos from our family Medieval fair.
I had to include the cake! Orange and blue with a Medieval twist?!

Two more medieval costumes are finished. I began sewing on Friday, and finished them Saturday! The felt lion was the most intricate part. It took the longest to precisely cut out, and then applique with a close ziz zag stitch, on the front of Elijah's outfit. There are four walking splits in each outfit, with a bar tack at the opening to help prevent tears from strenuous use!

Progressing Pilgrim Costumes
I'm still plugging away at the old fashioned Pilgrim costumes. All the shifts are finished now, (the brothers have dubbed them "nightshirts"), and they look like long white flowy robes. Outer garments are next, and this week, I'm in the process of designing the men's jacket.
All this work has been temporarily halted, because this Saturday, we are hosting a "Medeival Fair", and I am making outfits for Noah and Elijah that match Nehemiah's.
I'm staying busy, and I'll post more about both projects later!
