Diary of a Costumer

I started decorating my "regency" shoes today. They will also have blue ribbons in place of the current white ties, as well as ribbons lacing up the ankle. But the question is, should I make them polka-dotted? Striped? Something else? Or just leave them white with the blue edging.



Also, Teddy was attacked by a spider today. He took it quite well.

I got to quilt for a couple hours today, though I don't feel like I got all that much accomplished. Flowers are so time consuming!



I also realized that since my old shoes I wore to faire died, I needed new ones before April. I didn't want to spend too much, and I had a $35 gift card to Payless burning a hole in my pocket, so I went out and bought these for $17, and then turned them into these. They're not great, but they should at least carry me through BARF, Scarborough, and the Pleasure Faire in April.


I realized I slacked on my movie review yesterday. So yesterday, I watched A Serious Man - some good moments of humour, but I felt a lot of it was lost in the amount of Hebrew and Yiddish used in the movie. Not a bad movie overall. Probably 3.5 stars out of 5.

Today, I watched Stone of Destiny. Not being too familiar with the actual theft of the Stone of Scone, I found this movie really fascinating and intriguing. I'm sure I did not get as much quilting done as I should have in that time, since I got pretty glued in to the movie. My only qualm was that Charlie Cox (who I would say is best known from Stardust) played the lead, and not only is he an Englishman playing a Scot in a movie all about Scottish nationalism, but he didn't seem to have the strongest Scottish accent, especially in the first half of the movie. Nevertheless, I give this movie 5 stars.

I also finally saw Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog. I can't believe I had never seen it before! Very enjoyable, and I found myself wanting much more than the short 40 mins, 5 stars.
