I made a skirt!

I know it's a bit "wintry" but I already had the fabric.

Aren't the buttons adorable?

I think the interfacing I used was a little too heavy and I still have to add snaps but I am super happy with it!

Opening night tonight! I can't wait to see how the audiences like the show!

Breakfast at Tiffany's

After I read the Novella Breakfast at Tiffany's, I had to watch the movie. I enjoyed it (even though I liked the book more) and I really loved seeing Audrey Hepburn in fun outfits and eccentric accessories. I am sleeping in an eastern facing room now and the sun wakes me up around 6 every morning (even when I get to sleep in!). Anyway I was inspired by Holly Golightly and decided to make a sleeping mask!

So the day I wanted to do this, Joann's was closed already so off to Walmart where I bought everything for about $5.  

Panties?!? I know... but they were the right color and bear with me.

First I cut off the back of the underwear to use, and attached some interfacing

Then I traced a face mask pattern

And cut out two 

Then I cut out the eyelashes out of some gold sparkly ribbon.

then I folded the ribbon in half and sewed it around the perimeter. 

Notice how I used the elastic from the underwear for the headstrap.

I sewed the two sides wrong sides together, flipped it right side out ironed on adhesive backing onto the eyelashes and then ironed it on to the front of the face mask and Ta-Da!

Lazy?

NO!!! I have just been busy. First of all I realize that my Vlog from last time is a little wack, meaning it doesn't work... I tried to fix it but whatever I will just record a new video on my camera and upload it that way.

I am in a new room in a new house!

The show I am working on started tech today which for me means not going into The City for a while. :( it's okayI shall be back when the next show starts rehearsals! That hour long commute has let me do a lot of things I love to do!

• Knit a scarf -almost done, pictures soon.
• Read "Breakfast at Tiffany's" -yes, I am in love and will be making a craft with a tutorial soon. 
• Read the First three Harry Potter books! (well, really I am listening to Jim Dale read them  because I am obsessed with him after directing Scapino! for my Senior Studio/Capstone Project and he has won Grammys for these Audiobooks)

• 

  Jim Dale as Scapino

Yes, I have never read all of the Harry Potter books... Shocking I know. But I AM enjoying them and started the 4th book today. A goal for me is to finish all the books and see the other movies before July 15th (when the last movie comes out).

Since I have been in and out of NYC I got to see 

It was the best show I can remember seeing. After the show  Elaine and I waited at the 

And we met 

Mark Rylance

And we shook his hand and told him we appreciated his performance, we just graduated and are theater students and he wished us good luck in theater!!!

I am still on a high from that!
