pretty pink suit stuff

I've been working on posing suits, and I have pictures!

This first one is Stephaney's two-piece. It's a slinky glittery fabric with a gross of crystals added...although it's pretty blingy without the extra stones. I was nervous about this fabric, but it worked great and looks AWESOME on Steph!This is a hot pink that we are going to use for Stephaney's one piece. It's a little on the neon side, but the alternatives were cotton candy or plum...which I have all together on Phyllis there, below:

This is a partially blinged suit for another client, Laura: I'm only about a fourth of the way done with this one, but since I had the camera out, I thought I'd let her have an update!

And the following suits are currently homeless! I made them for a couple of people who changed their minds... so if anyone needs suits...

for a client in the #120 range:

for a client about 5'4" and #120-130?for a client about 5'2" and #110...so many of these suits are flexible depending on torso length and stuff. I don't know how those internet vendors can nail a suit without a couple of fittings...but maybe one of these days I'll figure it out...or I'll get an adjustable Phyllis!

Long lost blogger discovered in lab!

wow, it's been a while since I posted!

We are back in full driving season, not that I am sure we were ever out of driving season. The boys are both running cross country, Dan is playing soccer, too (which is mercifully almost over!) and then there is all that school stuff, Karen's scouts, etc.

We've had a great time this fall going to soccer and cross country, and are looking forward to Karen's basketball season beginning this winter. The poor kid has been dragged around unmercifully (or left behind, which she secretly prefers, since she gets to watch TV uninterupted), so it's totally her turn to be the carpool focus.

I'm working on more posing suits right now and hope to get some new pictures uploaded here soon. I have some really nice girls getting ready to do the Monster Mash in Middletown on October 25th. I hope I can find time to get stones glued on here in the next couple of weeks!

I am also getting ready to start a secret project for a friend who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Oh, and there's that Scout troop I sort of lead, the PSR (parish school of religion) class and something else...oh, a JOB!

My boss broke her leg a few weeks ago and has been homebound ever since. I have been trying to keep up my end of things here in the lab, but my slide staining hasn't been working well. This is really frustrating, since my ego says I should be able to do lots of science WELL in addition to the rest of the stuff I do (like blog on lab time?). Okay, back to the bench.
