New Name for Blog

So I'm wanting to rename the blog, and if you'll notice I have a poll on the side of the blog that is about what the new name should be. Some are kinda crazy but w/e.

about the choses,

R.K.&P. (Rene, Katy and Preciosa) Notes: it's the first letter from Rene Katy and I's names.

R.K.P. (Rene Katy Preciosa) Blog: It's the same only with Blog at the end instead of Notes....

L.A.L. (Lebron Allie Lebron) Blog: the first letter from our last names

Really Kool Posts: That's just me being crazy and I took the first letter of our names and then thought of words that started with those letters and misspelled cool...

Other (suggestions?): Is not actually a name possibility!!! It's more just if you don't like the choses then you should suggest something!!!!! which you can do by leaving a comment on this or other posts!

So now that you know where the names come from: GO VOTE! Pretty please!! With honey on top! (and btw not only is honey sweet, it's really good for you too!)

since we're on the topic...

...I thought I'd show you my first big sewing project. It was about three years ago, we were going to an American Revolutionary War ball. Well actually I think they called it a George Washington Ball but w/e. So my sister and I were going to make dresses, I got mine done on the day of the ball actually like right before we left and really my mom did a lot of the work!! She did all the hard work at least! Most the trim and the zipper (so not authentic!) and the hem, she helped me with everything else and when I simply couldn't get it she would step in and do it. I did learn a lot while sewing it and had some fun while I was at it! :) That was really when I fell in love with sewing.

hey!

hey! So I made a comment for Preciosa's post about her sewing project she did yesterday , saying I would have someone take a couple pictures of me wearing the cloak i made (w/ help, LOL...) last year. I wanted an "Elven" cloak like the ones the Fellowship wear in LOTR. We found a pattern online...and so here it is!!! It's hard to see in the picture on top but I have one of those Elven brooches, movie style, that I got on ebay. Can't have an elven cloak w/o the brooch, right? It's incomplete w/o it!!!!

Sewing

Is anyone else shocked? Another post! The day after the last post!! :-o

Anyway! So this is a fun sewing project I did today! We had this old skirt that wasn't in to great of shape for wearing because most the buttons were ripping out but for the most part it was in fine shape.

So Hannah had used it for a cape thing way back when a long time ago when she would play dress up, I probably did too but it was in her closet so it was her's (also she did it more then I did...). So when we were going threw dress up stuff I decided it really wouldn't be super hard to turn that skirt into a cape, it would just need a little work at the top and the buttons had to go! And so it ended up on floor for a week or so and then I was bored and so why not? I got to work and tried a few different things to make it cape like and believe it or not soon that skirt was a cape!

It could be better but remember it's made from an old skirt. A hood would be cool but we didn't have any fabric that was the same as the skirt, so that hooded cape Hannah has always wanted will have to wait... but now that I know how simple and fun it is to play around with old clothes and make them "new", maybe there will be some more posts about old cloth being transformed into cool new things.

And as to my last sewing project, the civil war dress, well that's finished...or it was. I didn't ever do the button holes but I had everything else done for the reenactment and it was fun to wear! But when we got home the under sleeves and collar came off so that the dress could be washed without the white turning green. Now I just need to sew the button holes and then sew the sleeves and collar back on and get some pictures up for you all! :) Hopefully I'll get it all done soon!

Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader

So Narnia fans, excited yet? Voyage comes out in three months! Less actually... I just don't feel like figuring out how long... I was going to find you all a count down thing for it but couldn't. ANYWAY So although I have never read the books and don't plan to, I really like the Walden movies! And although a lot of people are complaining about the trailer and how it doesn't look like it will follow the book and all but I don't really care, I think it will be a good movie, if not I'll still like Prince Caspian.

There is one thing....King Caspian? He'll always be a prince in my mind. And I'll have to get used to Ben with a beard! Weirdness! And I'm really sad about him not doing the accent! It's pretty stupid too how he's just dropping it. And everyone else too! I mean, really? What do you think?

Anyway Yeah this is getting longer then I thought it would be since I'm really just talking about Voyage because I was saying something about how I never post and then Katy was like that I could talk about Voyage, so yeah... Any other Narnia fans have something they want to say??

hey everyone!!

Ok, I'm not really sure what to talk about but I wanted to put a post on here. So...Preciosa has already talked about bacon so...? LOL jk you know what else is good? Chocolate ice cream!!! Sorry, is this post boring? Sorry if you think it is!! Here's a kinda interesting question!! At least, I think it's kinda interesting: what do you all like to put on ice cream?? ;) Anyway I'll ttyl!!!
