Thanks for your reviews of Angie's list! I went ahead and signed up for a membership. After thinking about it, I don't want to bug my cousin Jim to plant that Lilac bush for us. He does this for work all day, and though I'd love to save some cash and I know he wouldn't mind, I'd rather not take advantage of the situation. We'll see what kind of estimate we get from the company I found on Angie's.
I began working on the Lady Tusken last night. The pieces are cut out, and the main dress is assembled save for one sleeve, and gathering the neckline. The thing is HUGE, because its got to be quite gathered in the skirt: http://www.tk7602.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=119&pos=376 . We'll tackle the cape/cloak thing Wednesday (or at least start tackling it). Ashton is making the bag, and it looks like its held on with a fabric sash (so I won't need a belt). I located some cheapie canvas shoes that I can glue strips of ugly fabric onto for my feet. Brian has finished the mask. We're also going to pick up some knock off camelbacks to wear underneath in FL to keep hydrated (I guess there are some for only around $20 at Wallmart - I hate shopping there, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do). I tell you, the next thing I sew will be something more flattering and stylish, and feminine! :) It was nice to get the craft room in order and spend some time in there last night - its been far too long!
Its Tuesday, so its a dance studio night. We'll be trying on the ballet costumes, fitting ourselves for leotards needed to go under silver sequin jackets for the tap numbers, and the piano guy will be up to run through music for the various routines. It will be a L O N G night. Here's hoping we can stay motivated and not sit around chatting too much. I'd like to get out of there as early as we can! If anything, its good exercise.
