I didn't want to haul my big costumes out to the beach to work on but wanted some sort of handsewing... So I brought this new book out:
And made these two little kitties for the boys.
It's a great little book btw, beautiful photos, lots of projects and step by step instructions. And it's easy enough for a beginner.

I've just got to give a shout out to

kass_rants for having the super cool sparklies over at reconstructing history. Yay!Actually I stopped because I was suddenly confused and have what is probably a rather stupid question for Kass and/or anyone else who might know - do I bone the tabs on the bodice too? And a sort of related question - I know the boice is supposed to be fully boned, but how fully are we talking about? Like the teeny weeny channels on the CB shoulders near the edge, bone those too? Thanks Mistresses!
jennylafleur 's wonderful presentation at costume con wherein she showed many different bum roll shapes I don't think I'm too inaccurate in having one that's slightly different. Anyway, this one is from the Wingeo anglaise pattern and it works well for me!
I couldn't find my other camera for the longest time but am finally cleaning up the hobby room and putting everything away from costume con and found it. It had a few pics left over the tea on it so without further ado here they are.
featherfetish I thought of you when I saw this laser cut gingerbread!| You Are Riding Boots |
 You are naturally chic and stylish. You can pull together a great look in no time flat. You don't need a lot of flash or bling in your life. You prefer the glamour of the understated. You treasure wisdom. You are attracted to ideas and things that have stood the test of time. |
( Very long list of masquerades and other contest winners behind the cut )
And to all you sons and daughters, I hope you have a wonderful day too! :)
I love this pic of Laura and Sarah

Check out Friday night:
This shot is about as blurry as all of our vision was after those absurdly large and powerful cosmos Friday night. The really funny thing though is that whomever took the pic of us all was drunk enough to get a thumb in the shot!
Were you guys laughing at me? ;)
Maggie, Kat and a big honkin' Cosmo
