Another Floor Uncovered!

I've spent way too much time finding George's floor the last 2 days! I have 6 baseball uniform dresses to sew and projects for camp but Moga and Matey needed some where to sleep that wasn't in the middle of the family room. Since George has her own room I decided to put them there, unfortunately I needed to do some excavating before it was people ready.
This is what I've been avoiding for a few months.

You couldn't actually walk into her room, it was more of a wading kind of thing. The poor kid could never find anything in there, big shock I know, so she took to putting things she wanted to find again in her bed. She has been showing up in my bed on a regular basis the last few weeks and after digging through her bed I'm not surprised I wouldn't be able to sleep there either!
Here is what we have now.

Much better but still not perfect. She needs to get rid of a lot of stuff, that fight will have to be another day. There really is a place for everything and hopefully she will be able to find those places!

It's about time!!

Tonight was the last show and I finally got some pictures! Somehow even though I told Beast to come find me in costume he didn't so I will have to hope someone else got a picture of him.

Presenting - Beauty and the Beast Jr.

The Enchantress, she needs something else to make her pop, I need to figure out what.


Cogsworth & Lumiere, he really doesn't wear flip flops. Babette.

I was totally happy with how my table settings turned out!

Fork, napkin, plate, spoon & knife - did I get them in the right order?

I made the stencil for the table settings, I couldn't find anything I liked. Lucky for me someone told me how to do it!

The villagers were asked to bring in parts of their costumes. The girls were assigned skirts & shirts. I borrowed some shirts and skirts from a local performing arts school. It was a lifesaver as some of the parents didn't understand the notes sent home the way I hoped they would. I made the corsets with help from a friend and the vests were both purchased and made. The picture below is a borrowed shirt & skirt as well as a girl whose parents could read and brought in a great outfit. The things brought in were altered to be closer to the time period we were going for.


The boys were asked to bring in long sleeved button down shirts and pants that I cut off and put elastic in. Some were left long to mix it up.

Gaston & the Silly Girls. We found his boot covers on ebay. I made his shirt and the girls' tops. He was very convinced that I had made his shirt way to small and too short! I tried to explain to him that actually I had made it to fit him unlike the shirts he usually wears that could probably fit me, no joke. Even today when he handed it in for the last time he let me know it really is a bit small. :)


Gaston making a deal with Monsieur Darque - Kill the Beast!


Fred & Narrator 4 ... all of Belle's costumes were made by her Grandma.


Oh look, it's me. And Mrs. VP, Mrs. P has the mic and is telling everyone I stayed up way too late into the night making the kids look fabulous, she knows because I was on facebook at 3 and 4 am, the other 2 are Mrs. Director & Mrs. Asst. Director
