I wore my teal 1875 evening gown at the Costume College Gala. I still have finishing stuff to do.

Here's some pictures. Now I have to write it up for Squeals. Whee.

I'm thinking of starting a mostly costuming and craft blog. Any name suggestions?

Whew. The popcorn ceiling in the craft room is NOT asbestos. Proceeding with craft room renovations.

Eek, I have to set up sewing work area elsewhere and get the active project supplies moved out but still accessible.

Then move stuff out for changing side and picture windows for smaller windows and replacing the wood paneling there and insulation. Then it's replacing the flooring in two stages.

THUD.

So I'm brainstorming designs for an insect queen character. Of course, she needs a crown worthy of her status. Recommendations? Or beads for crown?

So, I'm thinking of entering the FR & YWU competition this time. Insects! Visions of dragonfly wing ruffs with a supportase of ants and bumblebee ribbon corset to start.
