Hoping to score official wine glass! Don't know if there will be any left by afternoon onThursday.
Wish they would post the official merchandise.

When we were at Catal last weekend, they had a special menu for Saturday and Sunday of Tinkerbell. I think they had a great protein fish option and a pasta.

OpenTable will have reservations if Disney shows no availability.

Where's my merch?!?! *foot stomp*

 

[Ariel484]

I'm gonna say no merch preview until Monday at the earliest*






*My guesses on when rD will release things related to this race weekend have been pretty bad lately, so now that I have typed this out, the merch preview will come out sooner. You're welcome, everyone!

 

[Keels]

Well, I got tired of waiting for RD to releas merch, so I made these for my girlfriends as a surprise for our girl trip next week!

 

[Ariel484]

@Keels really cute!

In other news, my back patio is now covered in sequins. I'm happy I decided to craft outside today!

I sew with a machine, but I sew Halloween costumes and stuff like that, so I'm pretty used to seeing in awkward directions - the key is to just go slow.

It took some trial-and-error to figure out, but once I found what I was looking to do, they were easy. Just time consuming. Knits or fabric with a little bit of flex to it work a lot easier than straight-up 100-percent cotton.

Adorable!!!!!

 

[courtneybeth]

Those ears are adorable - look just like the ones sold in the park. You're going to get a lot of envious stares next week.

 

[lurkergirl]

Keels, those are *super* adorable!

Thanks, y'all!! I'm so thrilled with how they turned out (hence the #HumbleBrag) - and you can ask @mbwhitti and @Ariel484 ... I've been trial-and-erroring how to make these bad boys. I made a pair yesterday that I felt that were *thisclose* and then today, it was just magic.

Good to see someone being more productive than me, haha! Love the ears, Keels. Very nice job .

I finally got around to dumping my white cool max knit into a tea dye bath (it's just too stark white so I'm trying to cut it down by "aging" the color... it's actually working despite being polyester). It's Tink 2015 all over again! Except I'm not draping a compression tank top at the last minute this time at least, but I am going to try to chemically set some pleats... and I'm making two running outfits this time since my mom is joining me for the 10K.

Just got a lesson on my new Bernina this morning (I've worked with them for years, but have never been formally trained on them) so I have so many new little tricks to try.

Cross fingers things go well and I get done by Sunday evening! Because I will likely have no more time after that with work and then leaving for Tink.

 

[Mimsy Borogove]

Super-cute ears, @Keels! They are definitely Instagram-worthy.

I've been bogged down by work and my parents' impromptu visit this weekend (love them, but yipes!) so I finally took a look at the weather forecast for next weekend and glad I did - it's going to be chillier than I expected and would have packed all wrong. Looks like more long sleeves are going in the suitcase. On the bright side, that means I can bring the race shirts from WDW Marathon weekend.

Question: do you think rD will have the heat sheets/mylar sheets available after the 10K? I still have one leftover so was going to use it for before the 10K and hoped to pick up another afterwards since I do get legit chilled after races. I didn't see any after the Dark Side Half last week, but it's also Florida and 80 degrees by 9am.

The weather..looks pretty good to me, but it is over a week out. I was actually thinking I might like it a bit cooler in the morning. I guess time will tell...
Now come on and post the merchandise. I would love to see what the CTC shirt looks like.

Super Cute Keels! Did you already have the headbands and did you use that magic machine of yours to make the rD tink fabric?

 

[MommaoffherRocker]

Just found my motivation...

[Ariel484]

OMGGGGG that looks incredible!

I'm doing my "Tink 15K" dress rehearsal this weekend - did 3 miles today and have 6 planned for tomorrow. Two more training runs left!
