All ready for Kentwell Hall.

We're finally all ready for our trip back to Tudor Suffolk on Wednesday now.  The footwear won't be quite so Tudor as the rest of us, but I must say I'm pretty pleased with the final result and so are K & M. 

 

They're really looking forward to stepping back to Tudor times.  And have already made me promise that we will visit Granny and Big Grandad soon, so that they can go back to Mary Arden's Farm in costume as well!

 

I got a lot of satisfaction out of making the costumes (with lots of help admittedly, but there were parts I did all on my own!) and as a result, today I went to John Lewis and bought myself a new sewing machine, using mostly vouchers that A had as part of a Christmas bonus, so it hardly cost anything really!  It's a shame that the one my Grandma gave me hasn't worked out, but I had it serviced and a spare part replaced and that cost not far off what a basic new machine costs and after working briefly it is no longer doing so.
