99% finished
The costumes, they are complete. Or, just about. Dude, I even finished all the hems. It's crazy to the Nth degree. Also, machine needle death tally is now at five. I only need to hand sew a couple inches of a sash, and attach the bracelets to the chain. I keep looking at them trying to decide if they are truly worth $1500 in tuition money. But the kids seem to be very impressed, and Buffy has been SO HELPFUL with it, putting the dresses on and off every fifteen minutes and standing still while I pin her some more. She's been so cooperative. And the kids friends think they are beautiful too, even Spike's guy friends. So, tomorrow morning Buffy will put them on and we'll take pictures (it's too dark now) and I'll print them on the printer (and post them for you all too), I print out my statement of intent and all the other forms I need to fill out... and then I drag them off to school. They don't really hang on a hanger, being togas, but I don't want to just dump them in a bag and I don't have a box. So I'm going to fold them nicely up, put all the paper work in a folder under them, and tie up the bundle with a purple ribbon. That's how I'll turn it in. It's kind of exciting, because I kind of do think I did a pretty great job. Winning a scholarship is pretty cool. And this is by far the biggest one available from the English Department. My entire house is covered with glitter (and thread and pieces of fabric)(and beads), and I had to take the brand new super-duper expensive vacuum in for service today because it stopped sucking things up three weeks after I bought it. Well, that also coincided with letting Spike vacuum the garage, so I'm sure there's a connection, but I do have a three year warranty. Anyway, the stupid thing won't be ready until April 11th!!! So I guess we'll be living in a glitter house for awhile. I sure want that scholarship. Posted by Pischina at April 1, 2008 10:42 PMComments
Saw the pics of the costumes, they look amazing. I was just wondering if you will be getting them back after the scholarship people (committee, program, whatever it's called) are done with them because they look amazing on Buffy. Also, if they do give them back and you ever decide to have a Shakespere themed costume party, Buffy already has two great outfits to choose from. Post a comment
