Yesterday someone on the radio pointed out that it was 2 weeks exactly until Halloween, which led to panic as I realized I needed to get the costumes started...and then more panic when last night my son gave me a paper for a spook house he's doing on THURSDAY of this week...I try to volunteer at it every year when my kids do it, so I have to try to throw together a 'spooky' outfit tonight since I wasted last night somehow... I'm guessing that I'll be wearing one of my regular shirts unless I can get a pattern taped together, cut out, and sewn in under 2 hours...I do have a lot of fabrics that could work for a 'spooky' shirt...
 |
| What is more Halloween than a vampire slayer?? |
 |
| How about a pirate? |
I'm feeling better, not awesome, but not 'hit by a bus' either. Getting in new fabric and supplies this week is helping to motivate me to work faster, now I just need to turn that motivation into action...
 |
| Next order, wallet with the funny faces outside and awesome rainbow effervescent inside |
And then start busting out key chains, finger puppets, crayon rolls, zippered pouches, hats, cowls, coffee cozies, mug rugs...maybe I should figure out how to hook my brain up to a robot body so I can sleep and still sew at the same time...that doesn't seem like the plot to a bad sci-fi movie at all...
 |
| Snaps for more key chains! |
|
I'm sure I'll start getting a ton of stuff done...or give up and catch up on sleep. Hmm, sleep sounds really good...
 |
| Ripping stitches on knit fabric is much harder than on woven, no 'fast' zipping through it! |
Current Projects:
Marauder's Map NCW order - Done and mailed! - Funny Faces Brandt's Boulevard Order
- Hobbit Bibs
- crayon rolls

some face details, and maybe a swimsuit to wear when she's not in her
tail...bikini sort of works...made up my own pattern and it's
interesting...

- C2C (corner to corner) baby doll blanket crochet with some random scarfie
yarn - Need to figure out what hook I was using...
- Mermaid tail towel, 2 skeins of yarn into this, I must be doing
something wrong because it's not THAT big yet and I only have 2 or 3
more skeins to go.
- Started working on cowls for the fall because they are mindless and
fast...but I really should totally finish them, not leave them with
tails and button-less...
- Started a princess dress style blanket - Need to just add a border on the sides and it's done! Even have pieces already attached :O
