Regency Pumpkin Tea

Here are some pictures from November's superfun Pumpkin Tea!





The chocolate Pentagon was a nice touch!





I made a new dress!



I made a quick new one for Mom too:





There was an ordered fabric free-for-all!

Citrine earrings

These were a lucky find from <a href="http://www.cjantiquesltd.com/">http://www.cjantiquesltd.com/</a> (formerly nalfie.com)

"An antique English, pinchbeck-type gilt yellow metal pair of drop earrings; set with faceted golden natural citrine drops." They are dated "Early /mid 19th Century"

Happy Star Wars Day!

I know some of you have seen The Force Awakens already, and some have yet to see it. I know I have given in and am super excited and hopeful.  We watched the Original Trilogy this week, so we are primed!

Here's my beloved, hand-embroidered Leia Bespin costume, for Throwback Thursday and Star Wars Premiere Day!

Halloween 2016

I wore my new A League of Their Own baseball uniform to my friend's Halloween party this year. I made it in the spring but missed my opportunity to wear it with my friend Gloria because of some health issues during AwesomeCon. But I was able to wear it here. It was really fun to wear, actually. Comfortable and all that. And I won the costume contest!









For Doug's costume, we totally stole an idea off Facebook - of a girl dressed like the Washington Metro red line. Well, we'd recently had a lot of issues with the orange line, so we decided to go with that.



Rolling up to my friend's party:



Joe had recently seen The Thing:

























They have this huge cat named Paco - we took advantage of Steve's costume to get some pictures of the aftermath of a Paco-attack. :-)
