Wow, it's been awhile. I bet you thought I was never going to update this. I really hadn't forgotten about it, I have just been very busy and have not had a lot of time to write. I'll try and hit the highlights of the last few months.

I have been doing well, just very busy between work, band, and costuming. I joined the Sheboygan Pops Concert Band in April and have been enjoying it. I really missed playing in a band since I moved to Sheboygan. I even survived marching in a parade for the first time in my life for Memorial Day. I know it was out of step a few times, but I survived the expereince.

April Concert:


Our summer band schedual can be found on the band's website.

Event wise, we have been quite busy the last few months.

St Patrick's Day Parade - Racine, WI


Blue Harbor - United Way fundrasier


Where Sciene Meets Imagination - St Paul, MN

We were at opening weekend for this exhibit. St. Paul is the last stop in the US. When the exhibit leaves in August it will be off to Austraila.

I have also been busy working on costumes. In March I finished my upgrad to my Princess Leia dress. The new dress is much closer to the original than my first one was.

Version 1:


Version 2:


Zam has been slow, but she's getting closer. I have been working on lacing the skirt at the moment. It's very slow going. As of today, I have 5 rows finished. I thik I am going to need 16 rows. The five that I did last night took me 2 hours.


On the red/gold sequin dress, I have all of the red sequencing done!

Right now we are getting ready for the 4th of July parade. We are again goign to have a float and it's looking pretty impressive now, and it's only half finished.

That's about all for now.
