Surprise! Still here!

I just uploaded a bunch of pictures from my projects since October, and I’m working on reorganization for the blog. The menu doesn’t flow for me. While I do the renovations, here’s baby cuteness to keep you warm and fuzzy.

Up first, my little love bug in her Dragon costume

Next, her best friend as Wicket Wystri Warrick, Ewok

I know, “too cute for words”.

Thanks for observing the adorable! I’ll check in again soon.

The Season Ender

Just a quick shot of my Clockwork Droid Halloween costume. I’ll update project pages and give a rundown of the second half of the costuming season through the week.

Neglect

I haz dun it.

A September-ending post was planned to catch all five of you up on projects in progress. And then, October showed up. I apologize.

With 29 days until Halloween and less for faire closings, I don’t have time for thoughtful content. As a consolation prize, I will include a picture from Pyrate weekend at the PARF. I will also let you know that I’m starting a “haul page”, if you will. I went on a serious fabric shopping trip today, and my existing inventory list is a hot mess. In an effort to get organized (once my costuming season is done), I’ll move my master list online.

My next real post will likely be in November.

Thanks for stopping by!

Speed update

Yeah, I’m not even going to make a full paragraph. I should have been in bed quite a while ago. In the last two weeks, natural disasters be damned, I made this,

this,

these,

this,

and this.

I also updated “Working the Black Skirt”, formerly known as “Working Class 2011″. I will add a quick entry for the Princess’ 11 month faire wear soon.

Yeah, I know, we made a cute baby.

Edits

The “green family” diaries have been added. They’re not particularly detailed, but you’ll get the gist. I condensed some other pages and updated the pattern library with the latest haul.

Offline, I made a shirt and a second bodice for my black working class skirt. Both are faire wench wear, and I can’t wait to get them on for a day out. The diary update for the new bodice will be up sooner rather than later, cause I like it. Here’s a peek.

The baby also needs a new lower class outfit, and we all need cloaks for the morning chill that will settle in soon.

We’re trying to determine the date for our next PARF visit. The MDRF opens on Saturday, and, despite our beach trip in a couple of days, I’m considering going to one or the other this weekend.

And, because I’m not always busy enough, I’ve decided on my Halloween outfit. It’s going to take a lot of work to do it right, and I only have two months to get it done. If I can pull it off in time, my pride will swell; otherwise, I won’t leave the house again.

This should be fun. Thanks for stopping by!

Starting off late and wet

Things came together, but slowly for the PARF 2011 debut. We got there…eventually…and it was totally my fault. The day was then cut short due to the rainy weather. No worries – return tickets were given, and we don’t hold anyone responsible for the wet. The garb held up, but we’ll see how they dry.

Here’s the happy family and single shots. I swear I was happier than I look in my individual. I need to work on my portrait face.

And, here’s my mom in her own creation, plus the hat that I made for her.

All dress diaries will be completed as time allows. I have some other pieces that I’d like to get ready for this season, so, we’ll see how that goes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Whoa!

I skipped mine and the husband’s ensembles today, focusing solely on the renlet. She’s now in the same boat with us. I need to give her a final fitting, turn up her hem, handstitch over the metal eyelets, make her coif, and make her shoes. You can’t see the detail in this picture, but it’s a really cute dress. She even has some decorative stitching…’cuz I’m lazy, but there will be more about that in the diary.

This final week is all about finishing. I hope to end Sunday with a mild sense of accomplishment…and a Joann’s receipt…buttons are on sale.

Thanks for stopping by!
