    christmas 2011 part 2

    Christmas is all over. It never really felt like Christmas to start with, it was weird. But, I thought I’d share a few things I got. First I forgot to mention that we got a new bench/trunk for the end of our bed, and a sofa table for the living from my aunt. Both much needed! Here’s my pic of…

    Christmas 2011 gifts!

    I made a couple of presents this year! First, for my youngest cousin, I made a little reversible dress-up cape. Purple is her favourite colour so I went with a lavender velvet for one side, and sparkley purple for the other. It was a fun little project. Next, I made an ornament out of felt for my aunt, of her…

    Christmas 2011 Tree!

    Made the decision to go ahead and decorate on Thursday: We haven’t finished painting the living room or finished the new mantle – but I couldn’t wait; if I’d waited on all that to be done we’d probably wouldn’t have put the tree up til February. Ha. So excuse the unfinished mantle, but it’s nice to have the tree next…

    boredom sets in

    So I have nothing to work on – I finished my other puzzle, we can’t finish painting… so I pulled out a couple of old projects I never finished. First up was Belle, my 3rd version of the village dress. I thought this was in pieces, but when I got it out and looked it over, it was really close…

    Dragoncon 2011 Parade Tilt-Shift

    Chase took a tilt-shift time-lapse video of the parade again this year – it’s really fun to watch, and pick out the different characters. I’m at 4:48 (wearing Donna) in the Doctor Who group, walking next to Ashley in her TARDIS costume. I waved to him but it must have been while I was out of focus! (he also did…

He’s eating leftovers, and I’m having chicken spaghetti made by my friend’s mom. Yum! I’m actually off tomorrow – I’m usually not – so we’re spending the day cleaning, finishing up what we can of the…

    Got to do something fun last night 🙂 Friend of mine’s family is going to Disneyworld for Thanksgiving and it’s their niece’s first time there. I got to stop by their house (dressed in Belle) and give her a gift (her own Cinderella dress, tiara and light up shoes). She was really, really sweet and adorable. I hope she has…
