{Adventures in T-Shirt Making}

April 28, 2020 by kelerr

Somehow I am still struggling to figure out how to manage my time efficiently in this quarantine. While I manage to keep my remote teaching within the confines of the school day hours, I am doing other projects for my job (social media based) that take up time. I’m also staying with my sister and her family, and even though I’m not the primary caregiver of the three kids, they still want a lot of my attention! I’ve also been […]

{Costume Design: Frozen, Part Three – Elsa}

April 24, 2020 by kelerr

Here are are at the final installment of my break down of the Frozen, Jr. costume. We’ve reached the “money costume:” Elsa’s transformation dress! I will also be breaking down Elsa’s “casual” since it was also an integral part of the design. We’ll begin with the basic concept. Despite this being a middle school version of Frozen, we wanted to go all out with the transformation. We wanted that dress to disappear off of Elsa’s body at just the right […]

{Costume Design: Frozen, Part Two – The Ensemble}

April 21, 2020 by kelerr

Today I continue the break down of the Frozen costumes with the ensemble characters, namely the villagers of Arendelle and the Hidden Folk. It is always a challenge to create the ensemble, as it generally involves a ton of kids playing multiple parts. However, the ensemble is extremely important for creating the mood of the show and ensuring that the audience believes that they are transported. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the different ensemble parts required […]

{Costume Design: Frozen, Part One – The Main Characters}

April 17, 2020 by kelerr

It always takes me a while to decompress from a show enough to sit down, go through the pictures and write a post on the costumes, but I always get to it eventually. This year was an emotional doozy, and I am not entirely sure why. Perhaps it has to do with the group of children we are saying goodbye to, or maybe its the sheer amount of time and energy we all put into making this show the best […]

{Easter in the Time of Quarantine}

April 14, 2020 by kelerr

I am not a major Easter celebrator, at least not in a religious way. We’ve always gotten together as a family, did the whole Easter egg hunt thing and had a big meal together, but we are not really church-goers. My mom belongs to a couple of churches and we would occasionally attend with her, but this was always with a more spiritual rather than religious attitude. However, I have never had a super special connection to Easter: I didn’t […]

{Rereading The Baby-Sitter’s Club: Books 6-10}

April 10, 2020 by kelerr

I don’t think I have ever had time go so slow and somehow simultaneously creep up on me as much as I have experienced during this quarantine. After my Tuesday post, I planned to write out some details about the Frozen costumes, and here we are at 8:23 p.m. on Thursday night with no post to speak of! Thankfully, I also recently finished the tenth book in the Baby-Sitter’s Club series, so my next post could focus on the next […]

{Latest Makes: March 2020}

April 7, 2020 by kelerr

With everything going on in the world, I didn’t realize how productive I’ve actually been the last couple of weeks. I thought it was time to show off my latest makes, minus one which I never got to wear (it was for the TWA Hotel birthday) and which is not currently on me to model just for a picture. My sewjo has been lackluster, at best, the last couple of months. I wanted to sew but my desire to actually […]

{A Birthday in the Time of Quarantine}

April 3, 2020 by kelerr

I think we can all agree that it pretty much sucks this year to have a March birthday. Mine was three weeks ago, on March 12th, and it was the day everything started to change. Initially I had been excited, because our Parent/Teacher Conferences were cancelled for safety reasons. But that also meant I no longer had to work late on my birthday. However, it was also the day the restrictions began: Broadway shut down as well as tons of […]
