Victoria Day Party
Caroline held a Victoria Day party in May at her lovely Capitol Hill house. I was a bit late to it and as always I haven’t had sewing time and my Victorian wardrobe is not as deep as my 18th century one is. But I threw on my plaid 1840s and a tiara. I didn’t have time for fancy hair and make-up so I don’t have a ton of pics of me, but everyone else looked awesome. :-) Also, we had sparklers! And two cute kids, a boy and a girl, were riding bikes in laps around the block over and over again. And IIRC, the girl had a supergirl shirt? Anyway, every time they went through our sparklers, we cheered for supergirl. It was a really fun night (Caroline throws a great party!) and I’m glad I was able to go, even if my Victorian costume game is somewhat weak. :-)

Fort Fred 2018
I'm super behind on posts, so here come a bunch of them.
We actually made it to Fort Fred this year and it was neither too hot (last year) nor too cold. Nor was I pregnant! So I wore a costume - an older one, that I hadn’t worn in ages - and I don’t think my stays were quite tight enough so I had gapping issues, but, well, I got dressed in a parking lot, so…. As always it was awesome seeing friends. And we got to bring Elena!

My pics:
I got this one of Ashley taking a “ride.”
Shoe shot! Rough terrain, and also not super warm, so I wore sneakers - and jeans. I mean, I did change in a parking lot.

Rebecca also brought her baby - who is 2 months younger than mine. We were two of the four pregnant ladies at last year’s pumpkin tea.
Also for the first time we bought pastries from the bakery there - the things are cooked in a big open oven. We got ham and cheese croissants that were so good, I have no pictures, we gobbled them down.

Rey and Luke's costumes - Air & Space
I thought I had posted these here, but apparently not! So here we go!
I heard one of Rey’s costumes was on display at Air & Space over the holidays (2017/18), so we took a trip over there while we were checking out the Christmas Market. Here are all my pics!
First let’s get the selfies out of the way.
They also had one of Luke’s costumes.
Here are as many detail pics as I could get.

Star Wars Costumes at AwesomeCon
They had a nice display of Star Wars costumes from The Last Jedi at AwesomeCon. Here you go! I took a ton of Rey, trying to catch seams and such.
AwesomeCon 2018
AwesomeCon was in late March this year. I decided to just do one day, and meet Gloria for Outlander costuming, and check out the Artist Alley since I had a couple of friends with tables there. We decided not to bring Elena since it was the tail end of flu season, which wasn’t great this year.
The most surreal part was this - we apparently passed right by the actor who plays Finn in Star Wars - but didn’t realize til right after he went past, because he had a hoard of people following him, apparently at least one of them live casting on his Instagram, which we were on.
We also met up briefly with Janine and Ron - Jyn Erso and gender bent Rey:
I saw this lovely Padme Lake dress:
This costume was awesome. The Swedish Chef (Viking style)
Bob Ross:
The littlest Ewok:
We had a small Outlander meet-up and Mike took some great pics!
