Halloween Regency Ball

The Regency Halloween Ball was great!  Lots of good spooky fun.

The conjurer put on a great show.

My dad was a pirate and my mom was a masked ghost.  My sister and brother-in-law were zombies.  I made Allie's dress was made out of an old sheet, and Marc's zombie shirt was made from the pillowcase.

 Kaitlin and I were dark and mysterious, and I love the fact that I got to wear wings and horns!

Overall, it was a wonderful event, and I hope we have another Halloween event next year!

Preparing For The Halloween Ball

My Regency group is having a Halloween assembly next week, and I've been having fun getting ready for it.  My sister is going as a zombie (a la Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) so I made her a dress out of an old sheet, and today we spread it on the lawn and flung grey dye and coffee grounds all over it before stomping some grapes into the back.  Now we just have to drizzle some fake blood down the front and make a few more rips and tears. 

Another project I've been working on for the ball is updating our collection of Regency pictures to make them spooky.  Here are a few of my favorites.

More pictures of the dress are coming soon, and there will definitely be pictures of the ball!
