Im busting out the new Pfaff tonight, Abra!!! I think my first sewing attempt will be full out - Im attempting to sew tulle. So I can recreate the bustle with mega POOF.
Also ladies, I found a bikini top at victoria's that I think Im gonna buy full price (gasp). It's so freaking adorable, and it would be a great Roo addition too. I'd post a pic, but I can't access VS at my job. It's like, floaty?... looks like a cut off t-shirt kinda. And the colors are sooooooooooooooo fun and kinda tie-dye and neon. I want i want i want.

We definitely don't have any HobbyLobby here in Canada. However....I am planning a trip to Fabricland (our names don't even rhyme ) today...and then maybe a Michael's later on! But probably just Fabricland.
I came up with a genius (????? we'll see....) idea. I am taking on of my serving aprons, and sewing some parts, adding some velcro and other fun shiz...and am going to use it as a fanny pack type thing. I have zero sewing skills, but a decent amount of free time, and a plentiful supply of corn on my day off. I'll most def report back. I like the idea, cause I think it's going to lie a bit flatter than my fanny pack from last year.
Excited!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.

THATS TOTALLY IT ABRA. Im obsessed with it. And I want to wear it with my neon green tu!!! I got that pic of it in a mailer, and I saw it, ripped it out of the mailer, and put it up on the mirror by my door. I see it everyday. It's A) a reminder to buy, and B) inspiration to get my ass to the gym. ;D

Just wanted to share my great find since it was kind of a surprise and I'm a bit excited about it
So, I have a 4yo daughter and I do this local kids consignment sale twice a year (sell stuff she's grown out of, and buy her new seasonal wardrobe with the proceeds). Last Fall, Kohls had a bunch of summer clothing listed at 90% off, so during one of their sale periods where they offer 30% off, I bought a few things I could sell at the Spring consignment sale and make a few bucks. One item was a "Girls' Plus" size cotton tie-dye maxi dress that was $38, marked down 90% to $3.80, and after 30% off was $2.66 + tax. I bought it planning on selling it for like $5 at the consignment sale, but when I got it out the other day to hang & tag it, I noticed it looked like it might fit me. I tried it on then, and lo and behold, it fit great and holds "the girls" up excellently without a bra, and I'm no tiny miss up top. I'm approx a misses size 10 or 12, and this was size 16 1/2 in Girls' Plus. I just need to trim my belly a bit before this summer and the dress will look great and seems like it will be cool & comfy, perfect for roo. I tried to find a picture of it but it isn't listed on the website anymore
So, ladies, when you're out shopping, check out the girls' plus section from time to time. They have cute stuff & it's often cheaper than juniors & misses
PS - I LOVE that VS crop/bikini top. I would love to be a little bit smaller to be able to wear it. Great inspiration to put down the donuts and get to the gym!
We definitely don't have any HobbyLobby here in Canada. However....I am planning a trip to Fabricland (our names don't even rhyme ) today...and then maybe a Michael's later on! But probably just Fabricland.
Cinnamongirl - I'm from Canada too and it sucks that our craft stores names don't rhyme! So I am going to be in the states for a short trip next month, and there is a hobby lobby near where I am staying. I am definitely looking for supplies for my RooTu - let me know if you want me to scope anything out for you! I didn't have a lot of luck at Michael's and don't think there's a Fabricland anywhere near me!
Also, found a backpack today that I am in LOVE with! The Columbia Mobex:
Haven't bought it yet but think it will be my next purchase!

just dropping by to say i love all the canadians around these parts <3 if you're looking for places to shop, at least in the sarnia/port huron/metro detroit area, i'm your girl if you're not familiar with the area! port huron has a lot now, especially a hobby lobby and another craft store (name escapes me right now but i'll ask mom in the morning).
i'm really bummed i have no one to do my 'roo shopping with this year someone come with me!

Come to Chicago and we can do our shopping together! You can also join on craft time!
Mayo- I might have to copycat you on the VS top...maybe with a maxi skirt or something.
Also, I made this Pinterest project last night and it came out awesome! If y'all are looking for a simple t-shirt project I highly recommend it. I just bought a 3 pack of V-neck tees at wal mart and I already had the sharpies and alcohol so it cost me about $4.98 to make. pinterest.com/pin/219409813068154592/

Can one of you lovely ladies, either give me the link for instructions to make an easy tutu, or make one for me?? I would be happy to pay for it and shipping, and would prefer that than doing it myself..... I am in the middle of major renovations of one house and moving out of the other, and then am going to Europe right before Bonnaroo, so am short on time
Ok I've been looking at online tutorials and I am pretty sure I can do this. I am going to try and see how it goes
Dreamingtree, you know I will make you a tu if you want! I left enough glitter on your floor when I made that first one! But You can TOTALLY make one yourself. I know you can! Go look in the rootu thread for some tutorial help. You got this!
And ROOTUS - Ladies i had an idea today and wanted to share with y'all first. I'm gonna make a line of Bonnaroo 2013 Lineup Tus. That's right. One of a kind Tu's inspired by artists from the 2013 lineup. I've made 2 today. Hopefully I can make another couple tonight. I'll put them up on the etsy site tomorrow hopefully. The two made today are "Pretty Lights" and "Bjork:Volta." Of course, Im down to make any customs of ideas that y'all have. But wanted to let y'all know that if you just want a Rootu with no custom idea, there will be some up tomorrow <3
And anyone who wants to "copy" on that flouncy top, DO IT! It's too cute to not share. I have a feeling we'll see a lot of them on the farm this year. i can't WAIT.

I love love love the idea of Lineup Tus! I'm trying to imagine what they would look like. I don't know how you'd translate Death Grips, Baroness, Swans, or Macca into a tutu, but I'm not the super talented crafty one either.
And Katbur, I love the earrings! I'd definitely wear them.

Indeed! Im kinda pumped to see what my mind cranks out too! So far, the only one that's "conceptual" is Pretty Lights - it's all neon and bright blue and FUN. The others are based on the album covers. I just finished "Passion Pit:Gossamer" and its soooooo pink and pretty! I Baroness could be easy if I go that route bc their albums are named colors. But the others will be harder... Obvs I'm not going to attempt to make one for every artist. I'll likely take the easy route and do the albums artists I particularly like You can expect to see versions for Macca, The National, Matt & Kim, Purity Ring, the XX, and Holy Ghost! for sure...

Oooh and I forgot to mention that if you ladies have a Ross near you then you should RUN...not walk...to the nearest location and snatch up all the awesome summery sun dresses and tube skirt/dresses that they have right now. I got three dresses the other day for not more than $9.99 each and plenty of summery tops were as low as $3.99.

I looove the flouncy top but can't find it anywhere. I've looked at the VS site and some others and it seems it's sold out EVERYWHERE.
You all have totally inspired me to give roo-tu making a try. Between now and June I'll figure it out.

Ok I will be the bad guy and talk about the elephant in the room: Your earrings look really cool, IF I could see them better. Just put your camera on macro and you can take close up pics. OK, I'll leave the room... ??? cr****
Just put up the Bjork, Passion Pit, and Pretty Lights Rootus. I want to make more, but I think I only have elastic to make one more. ...But i DO have tons of elastic to make Wrist-Tus... Maybe I'll do that.
I am SAD SAD SAD SAD that the flouncy top is sold out?!?! I KNEW it was gonna be a hit. Dammit VS. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that the crank out more. SAD FACE.

Thank youuu!
Also in regards to the flouncy top. Go to Pinterest and search for it because I have seen similar things on there and you might find something you like more...or at least just as much!

You're not a bad guy I just thought I was a horrible photographer. Don't know how to put the camera on macro but I'll check it out. Thanks!
Katbur, I just noticed your location is Wilmington, NC. How long of a drive is it for you to Manchester? My best friend lives in Wilmington and I'm trying to convince her to come with us this year.

I already have several cool, comfy dresses to wear (with plenty of... support so I don't have to worry about SOME things) but if any of you ladies have any crafty ideas for a first-timer, toss 'em my way!

Hey girls!! First time roo'er over here! I'm very excited about my first trip to the farm. I'm already planning my outfits to bring and what sort of shoes.... I got a new swim top I'll probably wear most the time and clean it in the evenings before the night shows. I also have tons of waterproof makeup I am bringing. I can't enjoy something unless I'm feeling confident about how I look. So, my question is- since my outfits mostly revolve around high waisted flowy skirts, have any of you used than anti chaffing stuff to put on your thighs? I hate chafing and ill be miserable if I have to wear pants. Does it actually work? I am a curvy girl, gotta protect my thighs!!
As far as chafing the gold bond stick stuff works really well but to avoid the mess completely I just wear bike shorts (couple bucks at Target or Wal Mart) under my dresses and maxi skirts. The great thing about them is that they will wick sweat away from the body and help keep you cool and comfortable while protecting you against chafing.
) today...and then maybe a Michael's later on! But probably just Fabricland. 
This mayo? How cute is it???
I've looked at the VS site and some others and it seems it's sold out EVERYWHERE.
