Let's try that again.

It's been a while. Again!
I don't quite have the hang of regular blogging yet.

One of the reasons for the extreme absence was Beauty & the Beast kind of took over my life temporarily.
It was such an amazing journey. I was working on my list of costumes single handed until the two weeks before opening, when I final got the assistance of a couple of spare sewers. It's one of those shows that you just wish you were performing more than just 5 shows, due to the amount of effort.

  • The Beast body - which it turned out I was allergic to.

  • Cogsworth
  • Babette's accessories
  • Madame skirt & accessories

But I'm back, hopefully more committed to the blogginess & I've just entered my wedding dress into the Craftsy Wedding project competion.

It would be great if you could pop over there & vote for me.
