It's been like The Shire around our house lately. Everything's been about fantasy. John and Otto have played hours of Castle Quest. Their D&D character sheets cover the kitchen table. I even found some of their game pieces in my coupon drawer! This is really getting out of hand. (Plus, I don't see why they don't organize everything nicely in a binder, as I do with mine.)
And John's taken up sewing. In his brief stretches of spare time between video games and D&D campaigns, he is making D&D costumes for Otto and himself. He has read some sewing books, made some sketches, taken measurements, dug out my old sewing machine, and even braved the fabric store. Most nights I hear the whirring of the sewing machine long after I'm in bed. He's taken over the dining room table with earth-toned fabrics and various metal accessories. I can't wait to see the end results, but I'd also like our horizontal surfaces back. We've been eating on the counter for a week!
I have to admit, though, I wish he was making me a costume, too. A cape please? Maybe I'll send him and Otto to Costco so I can whip up something for myself while they're gone. That is if I can find the shopping list among the characters, stats, and dice. Can't let them have all the fun!
