I've had a counter on my Myspace since January 1.  It's so awesome to see that number below 20 now.   ;D

I'm so excited to start making bits of costumes again. I needed, seriously needed, to revamp my skirts and shirts because I've been using the same ones for the last five seasons and am in need of some Brand Spankin' New Ones. Woo!

Sooooo excited!

Eeep! 11 days,
I can't wait for: Drunk men, kilts, Rodrick, Charming, Dashing, flowers, music, sparkles, dancing in the rain, fans, corsets, cleavage money, kisses, accents, yelling "huzzah to the tipper!", singing, costumes, hills, harassing strangers, third grade math, favors, "Fryed Ice Cream! Hot on the outside and cold on the inside, just like your ex!", Iris and Rose, tips, "I'm in distress", and soo much more!

11 days! That's like ten days + one :)

It feels like it's going to take forever!  Aaah!  Well, it might not, I have to work Tues-Fri both weeks before opening day, so it might go by fast.  HERE'S HOPING!

Get back to that sewing machine!!!!
Its not the sewing I have an issue with, I am lightning speed on the machine! Its the cutting out, and "can I have you make this?" at the last minute that has me rushing to get done.... and then there is the issue of the Capitan's coat I am working on.... soooooo dreading that!

My sewing is all done...except for all the little extra bits that I keep thinking about...
"There done!...but you know that would look good...I guess I could add that...oohhh! how neat, I'll have to add that in... :P"

I'm ready for some Scotch Eggs, myself.   ;D

I got all my favors done!  I know I will eventually have to make more, but for at least the first weekend I should have enough, for all those invaders especially!

Post by: Ginger on June 10, 2008, 02:22:52 AM
Ahh I haven't made any favors yet! Also, I can't find ANY wedding stores :P maybe I'm just crazy, but seriously there are like 7 on Academy, and I can't find any! I also made my flowery head dress last night  :D It's like 4 days away! I was at the festival yesterday :) and I will be back there on Friday!!!

Try a store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby or even Joanne's.  The first two have wedding sections where you might be able to find what you're looking for; Joanne's might just have something you can find in the fabric section.

I had a friend who knew where David's Bridal was, and I got a cute hankie, and then the lady was like "Are you the bride" and I was like "Uhhhh no!" and then I ran :)

Also went to Hobby Lobby and got stuff to make favors, I just got done, and should have some pictures up later today. They are little blue fish, made out of clay, and the have "N CHIPS" written on them, because I work at Fish n Chips :) (hopeful I don't get moved to drinks, or ice cream :P )
