Halloween weekend!!

IT'S HALLOWEEN YALL! We had a really fun weekend. Friday night started with cooking dinner and settling in on the couch to start watching Stranger Things 2. We got through 2 episodes that night. Saturday morning we slept in a bit, and then I started getting ready. (How to tell a photoshoot is happening at my house) We had very pleasant weather last week (70s mostly) and then overnight Friday it got ...

the nun is done

Finished up the last bit of the nun and delivered yesterday. Fingers crossed everything fits and works ok! Chase was a very good sport and tried it all on for me so I could make sure the veil attachment worked and double check my sleeve and hem measurements. I had to take it with me to play practice to finish the hand-sewing on the veil. I finished while sitting in ...

More Disney photos, and Edith sleeves

First up, Chase gave me the photos he took of my Tightrope Walker last weekend! Had to go get pics with my alligator buddies before we left the hotel for the party. I love these guys. And then over at Magic Kingdom... I also got these added to my Tightrope Walker portfolio page along with parasol construction info. Speaking of construction info, Amanda over at my FB asked about my ...

Disney, Again

So we finally got to go on our rescheduled October Disney trip! Thursday we left directly after work, drove to Atlanta to spend the night. Our usual overnight hotel in Columbus was booked solid, so we had them move us to one in Atlanta... and it was not great. (When I said "Oh then just move us to one in Atlanta," I expected the one in downtown near the Dcon ...

Halloween & sewing room

Chase gave me the pics he took on Saturday when I was in Anne! Showing my grandma pics on my phone... Kevin chilling out (his wig was making a backwards escape off his head...) The three of us I really need to learn that it doesn't matter how good and balanced it feels on my head in the 10 seconds I wear it when trying it on. I always need to ...

Halloween yay!

Halloween was fun! So, Friday, I "dressed up" for work. Basically I wore my Janet Snakehole wig and my April Ludgate work ID. Even thought it was just me and my boss in the office so I don't know why I bothered! LOL And then Kevin tried on my wig... We thought about going out Friday night since there were a couple of fun things we'd heard about, but we ...

Random Stuff

Hey! I'm behind on posting. Here's what's been going on lately. Last week I made a dress for a friend for Halloween! It's not a great picture of it. The main part of the dress is a really neat, heavy matte knit that I really liked working with. My only issue was that I didn't have the best needle for it, so when I went to sew the main hem, ...

Halloween 2014

So, didn't do much for Halloween this year. I did a sort-of Ginny Weasley costume for work - my cousin's Harry sweater (so it was nice and big and baggy) over a yellow plaid button-up, a grey knit skirt, black tights and my grey uggs with my red/yellow gryffindor socks sticking out of the top. It was very comfortable - but I got to work and realized I was ...

A Halloween Retrospective

I love Halloween. It's my favourite holiday. I love dressing up (obviously), spooky stories, fun decorations, parties, trick-or-treating, all of it. I do wish Halloween was still the same way it was when I was a kid - it's become really watered down over the past couple of decades. Sad. Also, there is absolutely jack for grown-ups to do unless you go to a bar or somebody's party. We've tried ...
