Off to Houston for Market. I’m counting on some good fun and
a couple of teary, giggly late night chats. And some business
stuff in there too.
I’m
just about done with the costume (reveal to come)– and thank heaven,
as I have one more to make once I get back… a Jedi. Jedis are a bit
more quick to put together. And, I’m very familiar with Jedis.
My older brother, Matthew, had me sew up Jedi costumes for him and
two of his business buddies a number of years ago. There was an
Amidala in that crew as well, for a change of pace. It was for
a business presentation. (How cool is that?) And it paid well.
Then
my other brother, Ryan, had to have a Jedi costume too. He even scored a
cloak to go with it, as I found the most amazing cloak fabric
that year — all sand-beaten and worn-looking. It even wafts in the
wind.
So, can you guess what Elijah wanted to be for Halloween that same year?
Yep, a Jedi. He was about 4. Now he’s 10 and he’s feeling the Jedi
vibe again. And there’s no chance the older costume will fit.
So that’s the Tuesday/Wednesday that awaits me next week. That, and a full report on my weekend away!
(Nope, photo does not relate to post. But she’s cool, don’t you think?)
We don’t care if photos relate:) Beauty is beauty, whether it marries the subject of the post, or not. My photos often un-relate, but they are too precious to leave out. But they definitely express the color of a mind, and the joy of the “little things”.
Have fun at Market! I’m sure it’s a great time meeting up with all those great designer friends! Wish I was going! I’d love to meet up with Sandi again!
I don’t think boys/men ever grow out of the whole Jedi vibe so hold on to all your costumes.
Sofia went to a costume party last week but wanted to be a cowgirl, in jeans no less(I couldn’t even talk her into gauchos!)! I’d really love to do a princess costume some day!
Have fun at Market! I can’t wait until the one in May!!
i’ll be seeing you on sunday!
Your explanation of the title made for a good chuckle. Thanks.
Hahaha! Guess what my husband wore to our wedding. Yes, that’s right, a Jedi costume. I so love that. Can’t wait to see the costumes! ~A 🙂
I love your blog and I absolutely love the pear! Do you offer a pattern??
I’m one of the ones stalking the pear pattern reveal too. I just finished several pincusions made with your beautiful Freshcut and a quilt is on the way.
I love the Freshcut fabric, it’s great to work with and oh, so yummy!
I can’t wait to see the magical costume that’s coming. Have fun in Texas.
Oh my gosh, it’s so funny you mention Jedi’s and Amidala. That’s what my husband and I are dressing up as for a costume wedding we have this Saturday. He’s going as Obi Wan and I’m Padme in her battle outfit (the white one). I bet yours turned out amazing!!
Can’t wait for the big reveal.
hate those touch and go’s. Such is the life of a jet setter like you!
Hurry up and go so you can come back and reveal, reveal, reveal!!! lol. Glad you put the link to the full report from last year. It was fun to read! 🙂
The pear is what caught my eye in the photo too, It’s lovely. My kids will be an FBI agent, a sari-earing Indian, and a vampire for Halloween. Easy costumes for me!
Love the pear! I read all the time, yet rarely comment. Just wanted you to know that I have finally added you to my blog roll.
Love this blog!

Ah, the pear. I too am still waiting to see in which magazine it will appear! I keep telling myself patience is a virtue.
Heather,I read about your Jedi costume-sewing with a smile.
My daughter had a Star Wars wedding in 2001 – complete with Jedi knights as groomsmen, robed handmaidens as bridesmaids, and a bridal gown that was a replica of Queen Amidala’s peach frothy dress (in white). She even had Storm Troopers as ushers! Thank heavens for costume designers…..
Can’t wait to read all about Quilt Market!
So sad I couldn’t make it this year! I would have loved a chance to say hi, act like a scary stalker blog reader person. 🙂 I hope it went well!
Did you make the pear? I would love a pattern or some instructions.
Like the description of the title….:)
I too LOVE the pear and remember seeing it on an earlier Blog.. Please tell me there are instructions that are available!! It’s a must make. I traced the Quilts and More magazine down and made a few of the pin cushions. They are my fave!! I live in a small town in South East Queensland Australia and just LOVE your blog! Hope market was heaps of fun.. Make sure you check out some friends (designers) of mine… Melly and Me: Melanie and Rosalie.. They are gorgeous girls and very talented as well…
