OZ Sneak Peek.......



Hello Dhaaarlings

Princess is quite exhausted... but can see some light at the end of the tunnel

Dress rehearsals are in full swing and here's a sneak peak!





I'm off to finish some Cyclones and sew a few tails onto some Flying Monkeys









You get the picture!

  1. Wow!
    You have to be totally phaffed out, but I'm sure your sense of satisfaction keeps you flying high...

    But not with your wonderfully creepy monkeys.

    1. Thanks Wally... It has been a tough gig but I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. The sense of seeing my ideas coming to life and moving on stage bought tears to my eyes...
      I feel; very tired and emotional but it is all good!

    1. I am very tired Maddie. I'm looking forward to having a very long sleep in a wwe or so's time and then some time out by the sea side. I have a cousin with a beach house that has offered it to me free of charge for a little R and R....
      some how I think I'll be needing it!

  5. The costumes look brilliant! Well done you.

    You must be knackered and feeling very, very pleased with yourself...so you should be. You've done an amazing job.

    1. Thanks Roses,
      "Knackered" is the perfect descriptor! I must say that i do have a sense of pride seeing the costumes come to life and the gratitude and excitement that the kids display once they get to try them on. It is and has been very rewarding for me.

  6. Awesome! The costumes look great! If making costumes were an Olympic sport, you'd win gold!

  7. Hello Mr Swings. I must say that the whole process has felt like an event of Olympic proportions... What is this Gold of which you speak?... I'm an Ozzie. Silver seems to be our favourite metal this year so i'd settle for a silver medal and still be blissfully happy!

    1. She's just laying down on the job!
      The poppies work their magic and put to sleep the lion Dorothy... and her little dog too!

  9. Princess, those are GREAT! You're really creative! I'm hard pressed to dig the Singer out to hem curtains; that's what Stitch Witchery is for, right? No?
    I hope you get a standing ovation from those parents. You deserve it.

  10. Thanks Ms Nations... I'm already getting lots of thankyou's from parents and kids alike! I'm with you on the curtains thing. Hate them!but always seem to score the ob of doing the curtains for the sets.

    The local tV chanel came to rehearsals today so there should be some footage of the costumes on the local news tonight. Interviews with the print media and more TV early next week!
