Yup...I'm back.
Aug. 29th, 2011 04:30 pmCan it be sleepy time now?
Seriously?
Actually its my own fault since I stayed up late recording Ep 16 of Creepy Kitch then podering how to convert the file because I totally forgot how. Yeeaaah...I am not techno savvy. Anyone surprised by this?
Its been a while since I've typed in LJ really but then I really haven't felt the need. That and I have been so dang busy both at work and after work that I really didn't have much to say other than the usual "Works busy. Life is busy. I'm still a nerd. Talk to you later".
Yup.
Personally and professionally life has been trucking along on a nice steady pace (BTW, my nephews are friggin' adorable. I need to post pics soon of my latest visit to the cute hellions). So I've been using LJ lately just to track my creative thoughts and what not. Writing about projects helps me keep them straight in my head instead of thinking "Oh! That's a great idea!" Then watching it fly out of my brain and out the window by the end of the day.... which has been par for the corse for me lately.
Halloween fast approach-eth! Which means I have sewing projects coming up of course. Our theme this year for our Halloween party is Old School/Traditional Halloween. Ace and I came up with that idea during one of our walks. I wanted to do something general enough for people to go nuts with or just do on a budget. And I wanted to do a theme everyone could enjoy.
I was thinking of doing a witch costume but go in a 1950/60's Bewitched direction to it. I wanted to get some cute Halloween print and make a vintage style dress. Thinking of going with either this pattern or this pattern. I'm thinking the one with the sleeves simply because I don't like my upper arms. I want to find a really great novelty print and then make (or find and decorate) a witch hat all cute. Wear it all with my striped stockings and some halloween-y jewelry and Viola!!
Also want to go pick up some Halloween decor at Michael's...eventually.
ALSO also need to get the dan backyard in order for tea party antics!
SO much to do. WHEEE!
