{Travel Tales: Scotland/England 2019, Part One}

April 30, 2019 by kelerr

Back to the grind today… well, really back to the grind yesterday, but I still get to reminisce about my week in Scotland and London! This will be the first in a multi-part series (number of parts still to be determined) about the trip. First off, this trip came about when my friend Michele asked if I wanted to go to the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London. I said yes, but that I’d already been to London several times […]

{Plans for Me Made May 2019}

April 26, 2019 by kelerr

Hello from London! We’ve headed out of Scotland and into London for a few days of whirlwind sightseeing that includes Sew Over It (live in person), a play, a visit to the Harry Potter Studio tour and the Christian Dior exhibit at the Victoria & Albert. It’s going to be a whirlwind forty-eight hours, one that I will tell all about once I get all the photos uploaded and ready! For today, enjoy another schedule post. It’s almost May, which […]

{Costume Design: Schitt’s Creek}

April 23, 2019 by kelerr

Greetings from Scotland! I’m on vacation this week, and I WILL be doing detailed posts about my activities as soon as I’m back, but for now I’ve got some scheduled stuff for you! Schitt’s Creek has long been one of my favorite things currently on television. I discovered it on Netflix a few years ago, and am now an avid fan. I adore the story of the Rose family, once extremely wealthy but who have their fortune stolen from them. […]

{The Little Mermaid Costumes, Part Two}

April 19, 2019 by kelerr

It’s time for the second installment of taking a look at the costumes for The Little Mermaid. Last week I outlined some of the major players. This week we’re going to look at some of the other characters, as well as Ariel’s human dresses. Ariel’s Human Dresses All of Ariel’s human costumes were designed to call back to her ocean life. Her main human dress had a pattern on it that reminded me of something that might grow underwater. I […]

{Tried and True Patterns: The Betty Dress}

April 16, 2019 by kelerr

One of my favorite things about sewing is that you can take a pattern and make it up in a number of different ways, creating different looking garments each time. I love playing around with patterns to see what I can cook up next, but admittedly some are more fun than others. This will be the first in my “tried and true patterns” series, talking about the patterns I have used over and over again (regardless of variation). Today’s tried […]

{The Little Mermaid Costumes, Part One}

April 12, 2019 by kelerr

This year’s musical feels like whirlwind experience right now, though if you had asked me about it three months ago, I might’ve told you it was going really well, and then gone off and stress cried. But now that we’re a few weeks away from our run, I feel like it all went by in a blur, and I miss it dearly. You don’t truly know until you’re in the trenches of a musical yourself, but you become a family […]

{Out and About: Beetlejuice on Broadway}

April 9, 2019 by kelerr

Though my every Friday night run of shows ended a while ago, I still find every excuse I can to get to the theater. Saturday afternoon I attended a matinee of Beetlejuice: The Musical as part of a belated birthday outing from my mom. Overall, Beetlejuice is fun. I didn’t realize going in just how popular the movie actually was amongst its fans. I like it, I used to watch it a lot when I was younger, but I learned […]

{My Makes for March}

April 5, 2019 by kelerr

As mentioned in my last post, it took me a while to get moving on my other interests again once The Little Mermaid was over. However, I managed to squeeze in three makes for March! First up was the Eve Dress from Sew Over It. This was my first time making the dress, and it went together quickly and easily! I was surprised, as I had been dreading the project, even though I had the fabric cut out and was […]

{What I Read: March 2019}

April 2, 2019 by kelerr

In true March fashion, this month came in like a lion. We began with the premiere of The Little Mermaid, Jr. and that kept me occupied for the first full week of the month. There was little time for anything else, between show days and recovering from show days. But slowly and steadily, I started to pull myself out of the comfy dark confines of the theater and back into the light of all my other interests. My first book […]
