Bad Blogger...and Halloween (late)

I have been such an awful blogger lately, I'm sorry.  Unfortunately, school comes first.  The good news is, I have a bunch of new projects to show that I've been working on here and there.  
So I know it's way late, but I want to show off the boy & my Halloween costumes.  We thrifted outfits and I made both my pins in about 5min. (We had a very long, hectic day & not very many good pics, but oh well). 

Flo & Mayhem. 

If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch these two videos--

When I was down that weekend we went to a football game (yes, I braved the cold for a sporting event) and it turned out to be the game to be at.

When they won, everyone rushed the field.  So fun, and so crazy! 

We were right in the middle of the football team.

But I'm short, so I had bf put me on his back for a better view. 

I pledge to be a better blogger for you all (:

Red Dress - Thing One & Thing Two - Pocahontas

This fall before I started blogging, I made myself a dress.

(Late-night just-finished-the-dress picture)

I'm in Alpha Phi, and our sorority has a Red Dress Gala every year to raise money for the Alpha Phi Foundation, which supports cardiac care for women, and promotes scholarship and leadership.  We all wear red dresses, and I had trouble finding one I liked, so I opted to make my own. 

The parents and I at the gala. 

The dress is convertible.  This isn't a great picture, but you can see the back in it.

Since I wasn't blogging yet, I didn't take pictures of the process.  I also didn't use a pattern, instead I just kind of looked at this dress that I already had and made it up as I went along.  I have some other fabric that I think I may make another one out of, so I'll make a tutorial at some point if there's interest. 


I also made these Thing One & Thing Two costumes for boyfriend and I for Halloween.  I made the shirts and my tutu.

Around Thanksgiving my sorority had a mixer with TKE called "Peace Feast."  We dress up as Indians and the boys dress up as Pilgrims.  I made these dresses for a friend and I. 

Though they're just a piece of material and some pins...when I have time I'm thinking of making a real dress with the material.  My hair is just a bunch of feathers stuck in a ponytail...maybe I should make a "real" headdress as well. 

Goals for this summer: 

-Make myself at least one dress.
