Hints from my daughter

After being told for 3 Sundays that her white dress was still dirty and she could not wear it to church, Leslie decided a little reminder was in order. When I came in her room in the morning, this was on her desk. The smiling figure is saying, "Wash this."

Princess Sabrina Eowyn

We decided to be Lord of the Rings characters for Halloween, so I am getting a head start on sewing the costumes. I have already finished an Eowyn costume for Sabrina and an Arwen costume for me; next up we will do an Aragorn for Russell and a Galadriel dress for Leslie.

I tried to do a dress similar to the white dress pattern, but with fabric like the green dress.

Arwen from LOTR

Here is what I was aiming for with my costume.
