Fairy Tale

I've got a few random pictures for you :) Just because I know you're ALWAYS interested in my pictures and my day - ROFL!!!

One of your commented on a layout of Joe the other day (you know, the Satan One - hehehe), and said "How did you get your kid to make a face like that?" Ha! How do we stop Joe from making that face - LMBO! Here's a few pics of Joe from the other day in the car. I always said that he should be a cartoon character, because he has SO MUCH expression in his face - what a Character! I just LOVE his blue eyes - they sparkle :)

I must be getting some sun, because I'm getting freckles - hehehe

Me and my new red bonnett. I have one in blue too - they're pretty :) I love the white eyelet lace trim :) And no, those earring are NOT period correct - LMBO! Nor is the gray sweatshirt. Or the hair - hehehehe. Girl ALWAYS parted their hair straight down the middle. Did you know?

Joe was SO proud of his clothes. I had to physically force him to put them back in his box - hehehe. He's SO excited for our Civil War Weekend :)

And here's Tom, with one of his outfits :) My handsome boy :)

And his other outfit :)

We call these our Trooper Boxes. Each kid has one, for all of their clothes and gear. They can sit out in camp, and don't distract from the "feel" of authenticity :)

Here's my new blue apron and bonnett. I like 'em :)

And my corded petticoat. A lot of people use the metal ones, but I'm going for a "poorer" impression, and this is probably what they would have done. Take a normal petticoat, and sew on cording. Then, soak it in starch, and let it dry. It dries pretty stiff, and give your dress a nice full shape. To let it dry and shape it, I took the dolly outside, and put a circular laundry basket on top of it. Then, I put my petticoat over that, and tied it at the top. I had 3 cheapo Wal-Mart curtain rods, still in the plastic packaging in the garage, and I straight pinned those to the bottom, to keep the skirt "full". I could have been the female equivalant to MacGuiver, don't you think? hehehe.

So, there were a few pictures of our last few days - I remember to take pictures every once in a while :) hehehe.

We had playgroup at the park yesterday, and it was a GREAT time. Jimmy enjoyed playing outside with his "buddies", and I took a pile of Civil War clothes that needed button holes hand sewn on them, and chatted with the other moms. I'm glad I went - I really needed to get out of the house for a little while :)

I did get almost all of my sewing done. I made myself another apron and bonnet, and Eme another bonnett and apron. My sewing machine stopped working at one point today, and I almost started to panic, but Captain America did something to it, and it started working again. Have I ever expressed how much I LOVE that man :) It's kinda making a weird noise now, but it works. I'll take it :)

We did Scouts tonight at the church, and the little kids and I went to drop something off to Captain America, and I stay to chat with the ladies. OMGosh, we had fun in the hall. It's been a while since I chatted with people. I've gotta get out and socialize more often - hehehe. I'm becoming a computer recluse - hehehehe. It felt good to chat and laugh and joke around. I'm a funny person, you know - LMBO!

Well, it's late as I pre-publish this on Wednesday night, so on to WordArt :)


OK, girls, here's the final installment of the Twilight Wordart pack. I really had a BALL making these. I just love the books, liked the movies, and am having SO much fun listening to the soundtrack. And now that the series is done, I can stop talking about it - ROFL!
