It’s been a while since there’s been a new post up and there are two reasons for that: the first I will show below in pictures and the second, and perhaps biggest reason, I really like that Happy New Year picture – it makes me smile every time I click on this page :D. If you see my facebook updates, you might have seen some of the costumes I had been working on that kept me away from writing. For the cast costumes, there are two missing (Jackie and Seven of Hearts.) The daughter is responsible for the props 😀 For the gold costume, I made the robe and the top and the gold pants, and for the princesses, I made all by Leia’s costume (Easy Street and Princesses are DMI photos) You can click on the tile and see each picture individually. There is also a brown coat that is almost done and several messenger bags and I think there might be more but hell if I can remember LOL.

Days are just kind of swirling together and time is flying by in a whirlwind of dance and everything else. The darling daughter and I have been watching way too many hair and nail tutorials on youtube and discovering peel off base coat (awesome stuff, btw) The darling daughter and middlest son have also planted a garden, which they won’t let me near since I kill all plants I come into contact with, especially at the critical just-starting-to-sprout stage. The two of them built a bookcase shelf for the movies and then the three of us built some shelving for the kitchen, something I had asked my hubby to do for a while now (ahem, five plus years.)

I have two or three stories that I am currently trying to work on but none of the characters are really screaming to have their stories told; they’re mostly just whispering, if they bother to speak at all. Once things settle down, they’ll hopefully start perking up.
