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…

Thanksgiving 2011 & Puzzle
Happy Thanksgiving 🙂 Had a nice day – had Thanksgiving lunch with the family and having dinner at home watching Toy Story with Chase. 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…

Disney Trip Surprise w/Belle!
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…

SDCC 2006 Funny
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while! Just a random story to share. Here’s a photo from San Diego Comic Con 2006: This was our third and last Comic Con, and the only one Chase went to. I took my Stormtrooper armor to wear to the 501st photo – only my second time wearing it. Chase had his brand new…

House Work: Bedroom finished!
and again the old room after we moved in for reference: Look at the bathroom door in comparison to the trim – that yellow-y colour is what all the trim and doors in our house is. Ick! Chase will be removing the door to repaint them white soon, and we’re replacing the hardware on the doors, too.

House Work: Painting the Bedroom
Got the bedroom painted this weekend! Well, almost – we only got about halfway through the trim. All of the trim and doors in our house are this icky almond colour, which just looks dingy next to everything else. We’ve been wanting to paint it all since we first moved in. We picked a slightly off-white for it. Anyway, a…

Cleaning my Sewing Room, etc
Still working on getting my sewing room straightened up and organized. Chase put my new shelves up last night, so I put my bead jars on them – this was the plan from the start, but it took me 2 years to finally get around to getting the shelves. I think I might get one more small one, because I…

Halloween 2011
Put on Snow White to hand out candy tonight – ran out of candy way sooner than we expected! My favourite was an older kid wearing a gorilla mask and a convict-type suit, carrying a Disney Princess bag. He didn’t say anything but kept pointing to Snow White on his bag excitedly, LOL. Here’s our pumpkins – Snow White –…
