Like for sure I thought I was going to come back from Anubis and start in my real voice and be like “oops sorry y’all.”

reasons why yesterday’s Frozen processional was super magical
-favorite!Elsa was there
-DimplesMcCuteface!Kristoff was there
-One of the skiers handed me one of his ski poles and we had a fencing duel.
-One of the skaters, as he breezed past me, was all like “You’re great on the Great Movie Ride! Loved your show!” and I died completely.
Enjoying a rare good hair day at #greatmovieride! But not a good smile day. Everyday is a Chandler-Bing-in-Photos kind of smile day. (at The Great Movie Ride)
YES I KNOW NOT SO SCARY IS IN LIKE 36 HOURS SHUT UPPPP.
So far this is what I have for my Cinderella rags dress. Not much. Basically I’ve shaped the bodice with darts (the outer and the lining) and attached the skirt so it can hang. (Circle skirts have to hang at least 24 hours because otherwise the bias won’t stretch properly and you’ll be left with a really bizarre hem.)
Did I mention I also have to make a fairy godmother dress/cloak combo for my friend? Because I have to do that too.
Basically all the sewing has to happen. Wish me luck.
This is Hiccup’s idea of helping Mommy sew. Thanks, Hiccup. (at The Dollhouse)
Cuties on a boat! (at Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros)
Key lime wine- my favorite! (at Epcot Norway)
Stop #1: Ireland! The cheese plate is marvelous and I’m in love with the chutney. I also ended up drinking @lcsence’s Irish coffee, which was a delight.
Cinderella pieces are cut!
I firmly believe in the art of frankensteining- mixing and matching pattern pieces to assemble the desired piece. So this is a combination of three different patterns, plus some of my own calculations!
Simplicity 1873 view C bodice front (2)
Simplicity 1873 view C bodice back (4)
Simplicity 4236 view A skirt (1 on fold, 2 on selvage) (it’s just a circle skirt piece, so you can find tutorials pretty easily)
Simplicity 2443 sleeve (2) (although any basic sleeve piece will work; I just grabbed the nearest pattern)
4 pocket pieces (I don’t even know what pattern it’s from. I just keep a pocket pattern piece in my sewing kit in case of pocket emergencies.)
1 apron skirt: fabric width by 15"
1 apron waistband: waist measurement by 5"
2 apron waist ties: fabric width by 5"
And also a cat. Thanks, Hiccup.
shoutout to the 40 something mom in row two who snort-choke-laughed because I said Dick Powell.
