Regency pictures.. finally!!

Ok friends!! The post you have been waiting for...  Sorry this has taken so long to put up. I have been trying to edit photos, send photos to Ellie to edit, and all that sort of thing.  However, our long efforts have paid off!!  Here ya go!

Ellie- Is younger sister to Susan, rather romantic, and has learned many life lessons.  She is gentle and kind, always there for help-even if her suggestions may not always be the best for a situation- and can always listen if anyone needs to talk.  She is rarely in a bad mood. :-)

Susan- Older sister to Ellie. Is very practical in every way, and doesn't let finery rule over her.  She is always neatly kept and rarely changes her hairstyle or design of clothing.  She keeps track of the expenses and any other thing that needs taking care of (such as making sure Adele serves tea on time!)

Amy- A very sweet girl who is cousin to Susan and Ellie.  She lives with her mother, though they don't get along very well.  Amy's favorite times are spent with the "Sisters" (as they are commonly known).  She has many fun adventures when staying with them, and often learns much.

Adele- French servant to the Sisters.  She isn't very punctual, but she tries.  She has been with the Sisters for a long time and plans on staying with them.  She can take care of their every need at any time perfectly, and can often heal an afternoon of dullness with her comical English pronunciation.

I, unfortunately, don't have any pictures of the boy's outfits.  We also don't really have anything planned for them, as we are out of funds and material. ;-)  However, top hats out of foam work very well. =D I will try to get pictures of them soon...

Now, enjoy some more fun pictures!!

More details of Amy's dress.  I have to admit, I had way too much fun with this one!! I sewed it, whereas Ellie and Susan sewed their own. ;-)  Any way, I had tons of fun sewing it, and then having the satisfactory pride of taking the pictures! lol!

Susan's dress was really fun, too!! We didn't have enough red material for the sleeves (we were simply using whatever fabric we had on hand.) so we had to substitute for white instead.  I had fun getting some cool shots of her when she wasn't looking. ;-) lol!!

Ellie's dress was really fun in it's own unique way.  She sewed it, but I had to put in the sleeves and do binding.  I had fun seeing how it came along.  I always love how I can see a certain material and envision it just so, and it actually turns out the way I thought!! So satisfactory!! lol!!   Isn't she just beautiful??

My costume was rather.. interesting. lol!! I had quite a few problems along the way, and I did a lot of it free pattern, or pattern free, whichever way you want to look at it. lol!  The cap isn't really historically right, but that was all we had. :-)  And if you really want to know our secret, any fabric that is WHITE is a sheet.. hey, ya use what ya gotta use! lol!

"Oh, how do I look today??"

*gasp and groan* "I hope no one sees my face today.. " lol!!

Let's walk in the garden instead... ;-)

Ok, now just for a few pictures more that Josh took. :-) Hope this post doesn't crash your computer!!!

MY FAVORITE!!

Ok, here are some pics that Ellie snapped of me. I had brought an old book that I had brought as a photo prop.  I just started reading while Susan smiled and listened. ;-) lol!!

So, leave a comment to let me know what you think, and which photo(s) you like best!!

Well, that is all folks!! Hope you enjoyed!

In Christ,

Sarah

PS Don't despair!  The Give away is coming REALLY soon.. I am just waiting for a few things and then we will get it underway. :-) So sorry about it being late!!

("Phew, now I can leave and get some tea....)

Home again, home again, jiggity jig... ;-)

Yes, we are home!!  We left for a three day weekend to attend a family reunion (My Dad's side).  We had a pretty good time, though family members can often be rather interesting.. ;-) lol! We have some pretty crazy family members, but I guess that makes us crazy too!! lol!!

Sometimes the trip can be stressful, trying to get over there and whatnot, but we enjoyed ourselves and got to catch up on relatives.  Also neat and interesting to see everyone come together. :-)

My Grandparents house was where everyone mostly hung out.  It over looks Ute lake, which is the Canadian river.  However, because of the dam in Logan, the river has been backed up and is now considered a lake. ;-)

The views are simply stunning over there!!  If you beg enough, I am sure we can get Becca to post some pictures of our fun time. :-)  Not that she has to be begged, but it is sometimes a pain to upload photos, so she needs some encouragement. ;-) lol  There are red rocks that glisten in the sunset, beautiful gold shimmers on the water as you drink in the view from their upper deck.  The sunsets are so vivid and just add to the glory.  Last night we were able to enjoy watching a lightning storm that was miles away.  We couldn't even hear the thunder, but we enjoyed the lightning show while we visited, or simply watched with awe at God's awesome power.  He is amazing, isn't He?  I just love seeing His awesome power displayed in Nature.  You know what it reminds me of?  Have you ever seen a young couple who are dating/courting?  Have you ever noticed how the young man is usually doing things to show off to his girl? Opening the car door for her, carrying heavy things, lifting weights, arm wrestling, etc?   Well, it is almost as if God is showing us His awesome power to show off, though in a Holy way, if you follow me.  You know, the Bible is His love letter to us, so why wouldn't He show off some with His awesome nature?? Just a thought.... ;-)

Any way, we are off to watch the first movie of LOTR (Lord of the Rings).. looks like we will be up late for a few nights! Lol!!

Talk to all of you soon, and looking forward to your comments!!

Love,
Sarah

The one bad thing about staying up late..

Ok, this post is being written at 11 pm.  When I am finished, it will probably be ever later!  So, why the title? Well, here is the one bad thing about staying up late.. All other decent people have gone to bed.  No one to email back and forth, no one to talk to, etc.  So, why do I stay up late?  Well, I am a night owl.  I get up at 6:30 (don't worry, I am still slowly cutting back to earlier and earlier), even after getting to bed to late.  If you think about it, I am getting enough sleep still.  Well, obviously or else I sure wouldn't want to stay up late again!  Now, every once in a while I will "crash", or need a day where I just sleep in a bit.  Or a lot.. lol.  My brother is built the same way.  He would get up at 5 every morning (with OUT an alarm clock...) and go to sleep LATE!  Not because he stayed up, but because he just couldn't sleep.  Then, after about a month or so of doing this weird business, he would finally act like a normal person and sleep in until at least 7, sometimes more.  So, I always thought he was weird, and now look at me.. He is probably awake still, even as I type. lol  However, since he has been growing (again), he is needing a bit more rest. =D

So, in case you couldn't tell, this is a random post. =D  However, I do have one thing to say.  I hurt my hand.  Ok, so you think that is random, too.  Well, my point is that I can't knit.  Not right now, at least.  So, I won't be hosting my give away quite yet.  Please stay tuned, though!  When my hand feels better, I will finish up my customers orders and THEN I will get a certificate out.  That way I can devote some time to knitting for my gift certificate (whew, that is hard to type out) person.  The poll was supposed to end tomorrow, but I am opening it up for a few more days in case any one else wants to vote.

Also, someone asked if I had a website.  No.  Not yet, that is.  I haven't been able to figure out our Internet server/hoster in order to set up a website.  However, when I do the give away, I will post several pictures of what I can do.  Remember:

I DO VINTAGE AND MODERN KNITTING/CROCHETING. 

So, for those of you who have seen a picture of the Civil War era shawl I made, don't get discouraged from entering!  I can do the modern stuff as well.. in fact, some modern is easier than vintage.  Easier to understand and read, though some vintage patterns are very easy to understand. :-)

So, that is my random post for today. 

I would also like to thank those who have become this blog's followers and have commented with a link to their blog.  That was most helpful! Thank you very much.. Some of you I already knew, so it didn't apply as much to you. =D lol Any how, thank you very much!

Remember, if you post about the give away and voting, you will get an extra entry if you enter!! However, it must be done BEFORE I do the give away, and you must post a comment with a link to your blog!  Thanks so much, and have a wonderful rest of the.. day? lol

Oh, yes, and I will be posting pictures of the finished costumes soon!! I finally picked up the last supplies and will now be working on our costumes and getting them to the finished line.  All of it will probably be hand sewn, which I LOVE, so I am really looking forward to it.  I am supposed to be a servant, but my costume looks more Puritan related.. I can't wait to show you all!!

In Christ Alone,
Sarah

It is now 11:15 PM... =D
