(The Pirate Princess…Rrrrrr)

That is what she calls herself

Yesterday i got inspired to make Anabel a costume. We are planning to meet up with my sister and family and have some costume fun!

I didn’t have a pattern for any of this, just kinda threw it together and hoped it worked out!

I made the skirt, undershirt and corset. I still need to add a little lace white ruffle to peek out from the gathered area on the skirt, i think it will really finish it nicely!….also still contemplating whether i should make a chucky belt for her like you see in most pirate pictures… bob doesn’t think it needs it but i am wondering.

This picture is bad quality, had to take it with Bob’s iPad since my camera is still at my sister…. i think it looks way better in person. Besides the hat which i bought about a month back when i saw it on clearance for $3, this cost me $0 cause i just used scraps. :)

  

I also recently have been working on scrapbooking again. The picture above is a page i redid… i had kept a journal of right before Bob asked me out on our first date. I thought it was perfect to put in a scrapbook, good memories :D This scrapbook is just of us… like i have some pictures of us young, it will start there… go through the first date, him proposing, our first valentines day, pre wedding, wedding and end with the honeymoon. That’ll be the whole book.

Then this next picture is a page i just did…. mixing my sewing abilities with my scrapbook abilities. The frame around the picture is all fabric which is sewn to the paper and the ribbon is sewn on as well. I love sewing on my scrap pages! This book will be all about the girls…. when i got pregnant, belly pics, birth pics…. probably up to year one? That is what i am thinking :D

 

Also i have been drawing again! It feels great! I haven’t done it in so long and it’s always been something i loved to do, even though i’m not very good. This is the first thing i drew in years. It’s not finished… thinking of digitally painting it when Bob gets around to scanning it for me :D

 

On a couponing side note:

I have had a good week of coupon! I was able to get 30 Gatorades for free…. an ad match and coupon, it was pretty much amazing! LOL

And lots of other good stuff but that was the main highlight Hehehe
