The New Year is Upon Us :)

It is simply astounding how quickly time can pass without you realising it… I only have 4 months of school left and no "real" classes anymore.  It still seems like just a few months ago that I started post-secondary and yet it is almost at an end.

University has been a very eye opening experience that I will not soon forget.  Now all I have left are my intensives which are going to be a lot of fun :)

First up, starting on the 7th, is CORSETRY ^_^
This was one of the BIG things that drew me to this entire course, I have always loved corsets and now I have to decide on the time period of the corset I am going to make.

I have narrowed it down to Mid-to-Late Victorian or Late Edwardian.  I am having trouble deciding because I have many gowns that I want to make from both time periods.


And in other news… my Christmas break has been lovely and I am really looking forward to spending New Years with my family :D


And although this doesn't technically count as a costume…
This is a little something I have been working on the past couple days.

If you don't know by now, I just kinda love Beauty and the Beast… just kinda :P

Beauty and the Beast

I saw Beauty and the Beast live yesterday and is was absolutely AMAZING!!! The entire cast was fabulous, the illusions were awesome, and the costumes and set design were gorgeous. The whole show made me truly realize how much I miss the stage.

As much as I love to sew and design and create, the stage has always been the place where I want to be. The thrill of performing in front of a live audience is something you can't find anywhere else. You can't know what is feels like unless you have done it before, it is a wonderful, magical feeling.

That being said, I don't have any updates on my current costumes, but I have added another to the list. One of my nieces loves Sleeping Beauty and so as a Birthday gift to her I am going to sew the Pink Sleeping Beauty dress.

Pictures will follow soon.

Until then, have a magical week ✶*¨`*.✫*¨*.¸¸.✶*¨`*.✫*¨*.¸¸.✶*
