Wedding...Sadly...Postponed

Well, it looks like the wedding seems to be postponed. But hey, that means more time for sewing, crafting and drinking coffee right!!

But in all honesty, I can't lie and say I'm not hugely disappointed, but for right now, this is the wisest and most responsible decision to be made.

If everything gets worked out and resolved we'll be aiming for October of 2015.

Bellatrix Lestrange Costume...Finished!

Well I got the Bellatrix costume done just in time for the library's Harry Potter Library Bash! Literally at 11:30 the night before I decided it was good enough. I had to eliminate the hood and the painted on swirls, but I'll add them in at another time. when I have some more time.

My favorite part was making the bird skull necklace. I couldn't find one I liked and I didn't want to pay the money for a replica one. So I did what any normal person would do...I sculpted my own out of clay. I'm actually shocked about how good it looked at the end. I was quite impressed with myself!

(Unpainted...just clay base)

Happy Birthday Harry Potter! Next year, I'll have the costume 100% completed!
