School Stuff

Cinderella is over! All the sets have been torn down. The costumes have been washed, dried, and put away. Life has returned to "normal".

Last Friday Angela, Jeremiah, and I filmed for our Video II project and edited this week. It's due today and here is the finished product...let me know what you think.




**I'm not really that mean...I was just following the script.**

Cinderella...

Last night was opening night for Cinderella, the play Angela and I have costuming. It come off pretty well, which is amazing, considering the issues that have been going on with the play. A couple of weeks ago there were tornado watches in town and the director was running through the scene shop and whacked his head on a concrete doorway. There are two girls cast as Cinderella and one of them had to have surgery a few weeks ago and the other one got staff infection shortly after that. During the last dress rehearsal Tuesday night one of the mice/horses got kicked in the mouth during the scurrying portion and four of her teeth broken off. Then a short time later the prince had a panic attack and almost passed out...we're pretty sure that someone either said Macbeth in the theatre or that someone ticked off the ghost of Dorothy Summers* But after six staples in the head, a hospital quarantine, an emergency oral surgery and a night off for the entire cast things are going good!







































*Dorothy Summers was the first theatre director/costumer of our university. The theatre is now named after her. The university is building a new fine arts building that has an amazing new theatre in it and people keep saying how awesome it's going to be, but that we're still stuck in the old theatre for this production.

Etsy

A ton of vintage shoes just got added to my etsy store! Go check it out :)

Good times...

I think my blog just laughed at me when I signed in because it's been so long.

The past week and a half has been pretty awesome. I had some good conversations, figured out where I am, and have had a lot of fun times with my friends. Goody's is having a going out of business sale, so I bought a really cute dress for under $10, regular $50. I ordered a pair of earrings on etsy and it's almost time that I can change them from the ones I got them pierced with. I sold my first vintage item on etsy last week!

Angela and I spent 6 hours on Saturday working on costumes for Cinderella. The costume parade is this Thursday, first dress is Saturday, and opening night is nest Thursday so it's getting down to the wire. On Sunday I went with Angela and Alex to church at The Freedom Center. I loved it! I haven't been going to church while I'm at school, just when I'm home on the weekends. But I really liked Freedom Center and I'm definitely going back. After church Angela and I got prettied up and had us a photoshoot at the park. We've been planning on having one since Fall, but then the weather turned cold, but since we've been having 60-70 degree weather this past week we decided to take advantage of it.

Yesterday I got a big stuffed dog and have named him Hector Heart-Butt (he has an appliqued heart on his backside). Hector looks a little like a HushPuppy dog I had when I was little.

I made an apron today in costuming class. It's just a lame white apron, but it's for on of the chefs in Cinderella. Since our class is moving along faster then expected we might get to learn how to make structured hats from scratch! I'm really wanting to learn that because making a newsboy hat is cool...but being able to make a structured hat out of buckram would be awesome! I got mail today for the first time in a while. I was a cute little postcard from Mary Ann!

Anyway, enough of my talking and on to some pictures. These are basically unedited...I'll be working on them and adding new ones when I can. *Note- the black and white draped shirt is the one I made from a thrift store dress.

Last Week

Oklahoma has the craziest weather! Last Monday the temperature dropped and ice began to fall. It fell for two days straight. Then Thursday was almost 70 degrees.

School was canceled Tuesday and Wednesday so because of my awesome schedule I only had to go to 2 classes all week! During those days off my friends and I went sledding down every hill on campus on cafeteria trays (we didn't steal them...the cafo ladies gave them to us because the cafo went "green" and won't let us have trays anymore so they can save water by not having to wash them). Anyway, there is no better way to slide then on a cafo tray :) I somehow always ended up turning around backward on every slide. We ended up in the ditch a lot...so we got smart and went to a hill that didn't have ditches on both sides...then the snowplow went down it and we found another even better hill.

Us girls ended up having a facial night using all natural ingredients like apples, honey, and cucumbers (which we did swipe from the cafo). Then I came home for the weekend and there were 4 swap packages and a book I ordered waiting for me to open! I felt like a kid in a candy store opening up everything. I probably should have taken some photos, but I was too excited to remember. All in all it was a pretty good week, except for the cold...but I can handle the cold if it means canceling school every so often :)
