It’s almost that Carnival time of year again. Soon the streets will be filled with confetti, paper streamers and spray string (I hate that stuff). Already all the bakeries have overflowing trays of freshly baked (fried) chiacchere. There will be kids wandering the towns and cities dressed up as princesses, pirates, clowns, soldiers, cowboys and knights. It’s an exciting time of year for Italian kids. Lots of festas and even a day or two off school.
Amazingly enough one of my children actually wanted to wear the cloak that I made. She was even excited about it. In the end I did manage to hem it and it looks like a grade nine student Home Ec project. As I was doing the last iron to make it look as good as possible (considering) I managed to melt part of the sleeve. Gotta love those synthetic fabrics. I told her not to let anyone approach the cloak for close inspection.
