Turns out it's about a size too big. Pout. It seemed so perfect until the moment it was zipped. Oh well. Looks like that will be a tunic for the momster. I'll try to get a... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/132480.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/132480.html Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:32:02 -0600 J-dogg is Tha Boss. Too bad the mini fedora got cut off. It is really his best accessory. Courtesy of Blingee. P.S. Made a dress tonight. Black and red cotton a-line for myself. Well, I'm almost done with it. Have... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/132077.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/132077.html Sun, 22 Jun 2008 20:38:14 -0600 (with apologies to James Brown) Isn't he cute and jaunty? When J started going to yoga with me, I promised him a bag. It only took me a couple of hours to make, though the fabric languished on my ironing... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/131752.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/131752.html Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:28:16 -0600 Here is a crazy-haired picture of me in my latest creation: a MOTB dress for my Momeenio! I hope she likes it. She only wore the other dress I made her once, at my dad's insistence. This one will be... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/131357.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/131357.html Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:08:06 -0600 Ok, I admit it. I've never actually seen Petticoat Junction. Nor do I know what it is about. Sounds like some kind of Screwball Comedy Wild West Train Station Whorehouse flick to me. Shows what I know. Well anyhow, I... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/130971.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/130971.html Sat, 07 Jun 2008 13:57:32 -0600 Ok, folks. Here she is! I'm not wearing the jewelry (gotta save something for the day, no?) and I think I'll have on my normal black glasses instead of these red ones (even though I bought them especially for the... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/130130.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/130130.html Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:44:14 -0600 Ok. So I ordered this hoop skirt petticoat thingie. It's weird. It feels weird. It looks weird. At least it doesn't smell weird. I'm not sure if I will be able to force myself into it or not. I think... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/130061.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/130061.html Sun, 01 Jun 2008 21:07:14 -0600 Ok. I finally got around to tweaking a couple of settings, so the comments issue should be cleared up. Let's hope. My folks were in town for the reception tasting, so we spent the weekend with them, mostly eating tons... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/129691.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/129691.html Tue, 27 May 2008 16:32:42 -0600 The junk filter has been eating comments! Even mine! Blargh. I just went back and tried to save as many as I could find; my apologies if I missed yours. I was not censoring you, I promise! (update: still eating... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/128909.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/128909.html Sun, 18 May 2008 11:19:26 -0600 On Friday, we had our e-session (at least that's what all the wedding blogs call the engagement photo shoot!) with the lovely and talented Ashley O'Dell. We found great little nooks in South Boston in which to play. Here are... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/128896.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/128896.html Sat, 17 May 2008 20:58:10 -0600 Alrighty folks, we have a zipper. Also, stay tuned for a Very Special Villain Dress Giveaway! I have some good news and some bad news. Good: I put zippers in several dresses that were languishing about the apartment: the orange... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/127971.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/127971.html Fri, 09 May 2008 20:15:09 -0600 Hi y'all! Thanks so much for the fellowship love. I can't even tell you what a difference getting that $ makes. (Especially since J's *entire* paycheck goes to rent every month, but I digress...) I got my new schmancy bra... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/127593.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/127593.html Thu, 08 May 2008 10:28:04 -0600 I was just informed that I got a fellowship for next year!!! Even bigger than this year's. :D:D:D:D This makes my life better in so many ways, especially since I might have just accidentally bought a ring on eBay...... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/126266.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/126266.html Fri, 02 May 2008 18:36:14 -0600 Here is a dress I made yesterday. I don't think it's quite as wrinkly as it looks in the pic. I made it with the "non-rehearsal rehearsal dinner" in mind. I think it will be pretty darn cute. I can... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/125525.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/125525.html Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:40:32 -0600 Ok, here's the latest version of the dress. This one has: new bodice with no interfacing (works much better!!), slim sash (too slim?), and I'm actually wearing some sort of bra in this picture. I will get a fancy new... http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/124984.html http://blog.lib.umn.edu/loyd0008/villain/124984.html Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:09:31 -0600
