Warded Children
As I’ve said, we all have our priorities. Based on her wonderful entries to the Warding Contest, JoAnna from Springfield apparently puts her copy of The Desert Spear first, and her children second. But so long as she’s keeping them warded, it still put her ahead of all you other parents out there, who obviously do not love your children enough to keep them safe from corelings:
Greetings Mr. Brett and Ms. Cannon,
I was inspired for my entry by Arlen warding the library. For surely knowledge is, next to our loved ones, the most important thing we can endeavor to protect. I had planned to ward my bookshelves, however, I could not devise a way to beautifully ward these particular shelves, which just happen to be rather homely. So on to plan ‘B.’ I decided to make a cloth dust jacket.
I used my copy of The Desert Spear to get the measurements and then proceeded to ward the fabric. It is made of a heavy twill, an almost canvas-like material. I would have liked to make it in some different colors perhaps; but one must work with the materials one has.
As I was making this, I thought about protecting our loved ones as well. So, I warded my baby! And then I warded my five-year old! The design on the infant’s shirt was my first attempt, and as thus, is not my favorite. I much prefer my second attempt and plan to make one for the baby to match his brother’s. A shirt for the hubby and myself are on the to-do list, as well.
Thank you, Mr. Brett and Ms. Cannon. You are both true artists.
Most sincerely,
JoAnna
Gee, this sort of makes me feel inadequate as a parent.
