Life of a Costume Lead

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02211

Today the Feehan theater company performed Hadestown Teen Edition for local grade schoolers. There is one point in the show where one of the characters has blood on their clothes. It is Eva’s job as the costume lead to clean the clothes between each show. I got her this red sox bucket from Lowes with a package of OxiClean that she could use to let the shirts soak until she got them home to wash. She actually created blood packets and they are put into tiny pockets that she sewed into the shirts. Essentially she created squibs for the show. Eva was not familiar with that word. A squib is a fake blood packet that is used in film production. She created those for the show. I was very impressed.

The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
