Stay-cation

Last summer we painted and laid a new floor, with the oversight of our fuzzy-foreman.

Prepping and taping for the first coat of paint.

After 2 coats we called it a job well done and moved on to the flooring.

We tore up the carpet and under padding.

Laid the new barrier and laminate flooring.

It took longer than expect... as usual! 

But eventually it met Zoli's high standards.

Finally it was christened with it's first tea party.

The billy bookcases moved down and we installed some lighting.

A perfect fit.

In the end, it was a very successful stay-cation.

Unatoota Solo

Inspired by the most gorgeous Hutt-like material Ruby dressed as a Huttling this halloween. Using the old gown pattern (Leia and Jedi robe) and a simple tutu (an elastic with strips of tulle and fabric tied on) I added a stuffed tail to the tutu and felt eyes to the hood to make an adorable Huttling. 

 Salicious crumb was a simple fleece bandana and pipe-cleaners covered in felt.

These 2 looked so good dad wanted to join their pleasure barge halloween.

I made an adult sized costume (complete with tutu for bulk). I attached the tail to the robe rather than the tutu. It dragged along behind and by the end of a rainy night of trick-or-treating it was a very authentic disgusting Hutt tail...

Rowan decided to reprise his role as Boba Fett

Zoli changed into his old stand by to hand out candy with me, in a last minute smuggler costume.

 The Fett and his bounty.
