Put your suitcase down and leave your shoes, gently by the door, in a puddle with your blues

It sure has been a while. Ill be honest... My suicide girls blog has been receiving most of my loving. Hmmm... Lately, everything has been pretty hectic, so there hasn't been much creative cooking or baking. I only have a about a month before Dragon*Con, so I've been working on costumes. I think this year will be a pretty easy one. Last year, I made a dress out of Monopoly money, a Professor Umbridge, a wench and a Mrs. Lovetts costume. This year, I'm going to be Pizzazz, the lead singer from the Misfits from Jem and the Holograms, Umbridge, and I believe a burlesque character and a wench or gypsy. It's just time for me to put the final outfits together and see what I'm digging. I did make two mini top hats. One for my room mate and one for me.


There wasn't any real strategy to constructing them.
Mostly trial and error and the good ol 2rPi. Ha ha.
I used very stiff, double-sided interfacing and some left over velvet. Of course, if anyone cares to give it a try, let me know, and Ill post a detailed tutorial on how I did it.


Hmm... What other news do I have?
Derby season is soon to come to an end, but we're trying to schedule
some scrimmages between now and February.
We've been doing amazing.
Our team has been working so hard towards communicating and working together. It's paying off. A little picture of a ref and I talking inbetween periods. That's Wille B. Faire. I'm usually inside line, so not many diginfied in action pictures have been taken.

For my birthday, my friends pooled together and gave me a bun ton
of Webber Street Studio tattoos gift certificates.
I just recently used
them. Ha ha. I don't have a wonderful picture yet,
but here's a preview. The picture doesn't do it justice.
The colors are bright and beautiful. It was inspired by a
Susan Crawford piece. She does some very cool mixed
media pieces.

Alright, I'll just dump a few random bits in here... New Superchunk album is ahhhhmmmaaaazzziiinnngggg. Jon Favreau still makes my heart twitterpated. I love roller derby, I hate my job and our house is finally looking like a semi-normal house again. Now I have a blooger app on my iphone, let's see if that helps me update just a bit more.
