Well Hullo Penny!

What a gorgeous costume! You will look lovely! I don't have it in me to be a real hobbit lass, I don't think. Perhaps a hobbit lass in riding and traveling attire. I wasn't gonna put a whole lot of effort into my costume except for the cloak... was going to find a suitable vest, and perhaps dark breeches and my hunt boots.

I am going shopping for my cloak fabric next weekend with my sewing friend. I hope we find something! My feeling is that it doesn't matter a whole lot what color, could be green, gray or even brown, and I will err towards a darker fabric than a lighter one.

If I find good cloak material color, I will let you know...you would think in the BIG CITY I'd be able to find something good, but so far there's not much of the type of material I'm looking for in the stores...argh! There were lots of true greys, tweeds, etc., but nowhere near the type of grey we see in the movie. :( Let me know what you find next weekend.

I think your outfit will look great! It will probably fit the theme of the movie better than mine, lol.... You will be an adventurous hobbit-lass, the type that goes off on hobbity adventures with our heroes--that fits you quite well I think.

I still haven't ordered my leaf clasp. I hope I don't wait too long and wind up not having one!

Well, I am off to enjoy the COLD sunshine....everyone have a lovely day!
