Well, Hello, Dolly . . .

... coming soon to an elementary school near me!

Can I just say how much fun it was getting her costume together?! 

The dress was from Ebay.  Her great-grandmother came through with the straw hat, and then Kaitlyn and I shopped for the supplies to redo it. 
I hadn't played with my glue gun in ages.  What fun!  

Not pictured are her gloves and her waiter outfit.  She needed black pants, black shoes, a white shirt, and black bowtie.  That one wasn't as fun to put together.  Although, we did opt for some comfy black pants with a coin pocket that had a little peace sign it, which I sewed a piece of black felt over.  (What do ya know, something she can acutally wear again...)  Her great-grandmother once again had gloves and a bowtie that had been in a drawer for 30 years. 

Sometimes it pays to hold onto stuff you think you'll never use.  :)

Dress rehearsals begin next week.  Stay tuned for pictures. 

Sorry to have gone AWOL again.  It had nothing to do with losing in the NCAA tournament.  It's just a coincidence that was the last post.  ha!

Waiting for a certain someone to get a certain piece of jewelry returned from the jeweler so I can do a certain post about a certain upcoming event . . . 

Again, stay tuned!

Thanks for visiting.
