Amy Pond Costume

Well we had my sisters 21st on the weekend. I made a passable Amy Pond I think, and AS did well enough for Rory. I'll snitch photos from mum as all I have are the ones before the party I took of me.

The 'police jacket' is a puff jacket I found at the Salvo's for $7, I bought some kiddies dress up police costume bib thing, cut out the police chequers and the 'police' bit for the back of the jacket and just glued it on with craft glue. I did have to peg it down though. I had a skirt that was knee length, so I safety pinned it up higher. I bought the hat from a cheapy store for about $3. I borrowed AS's belt. The cuffs came with the kiddie costume and the thigh highs were $16 from Bra's N Things. Funny thing was though, the first pair I bought already had a ladder in them, managed to exchange them for a new pair no hassle.

So there ya have it. Now, pictures!

And the original:

Power cords and Cupcakes

I have my dress all cut out. Albeit it about 2 weeks ago it was all cut out, I got all motivated on Thursday night to start sewing up the seams as AS was out for most of the night. I lift the 1930's machine up to the table, unlock her and ..... no power cord. I seem to scare them away. Who ever used it last didn't put the cord back wrapped around under the lid. I thought Mum was playing silly buggers with me, turns out she wasn't. She found it and has it at home. So it looks like I'll be taking a trip down to pick it up, might abuse her oven while I'm there too. Need some more bread and cupcakes for AS! Had these awesome flourless chocolate cupcakes in Canberra!
