Last minute things before this weekend

Not much time left before the event this weekend. I finished putting the lining in the cloak. I wish I had had the money to make it a full length cloak.... oh well, I will have to be happy with my hobbit cloak! All I have left to do on it is edge it and sew on the clasps. YAY!

On a side note~ my boyfriend is a knight in shining armor. I was browsing online looking up one of my favorite seamstresses http://damseldress.com/. She is truly amazing! I was searching through her etsy shop and stumbled onto this wonderful piece:
Once again... I fell in love. The problem is I don't get paid til tomorrow! I tell my boyfriend how sad I am and how I am going to see if the seller will hold it for 24 hours. He calls back later and says that he will buy it for me! I hate when people buy me things.... but I'll forgive him this time! Now I get to design a new costume with this as the inspiration! Unfortunately, I will have to wait til next event. The yarn skirt I made yesterday will be perfect with this. The yarn I used has to much brown in it. It didn't really allow the gold to shine through liked I hoped it would. The sadness....

I cannot wait til I get my digital camera up and working so that I can post picture of the stuff I have made. It is nowhere near as amazing as this stuff but I like it! Before every event I try to make my character a new costume. It gets expensive but it has become like my new goal in life. She honestly may have more clothes than I have at this point. Grrr... I need to spend money on my out of character clothes more.
