this is halloween

Whoo! It's been a busy few days! First up, we finished the new tombstones! Gravestones? Headstones. What is the best term. I like Tombstones best. And we got some lights for night time. Thursday was the Pink Palace event. After work I decided I had time to take a quick nap before I got ready. Took my nap, went to start doing my makeup and for the second time could ...

no time off for good behavior

October has really gotten away from me. Here it is less than a week from halloween and I still haven't even finished decorating. We have made good progress on the tombstones for the yard though. Here's one with the text dremeled out: And painted up: Chase glued the stands on this morning, so they should hopefully be ready to go in the yard tonight. Along with the other yard decorations. ...

merry christmas

Do I already have a christmas tree up? Why yes, yes I do. It's officially Christmas time in our house. First up - here's the house Halloween night: I had brought the dressform downstairs with Sarah on it to take a video in front of the fireplace, then set it up in our front window. Fireplace: We actually had a few trick or treaters! 4 all together, 2 groups of 2. I had ...

the midnight hour is close at hand…

Well, our week of Kevin and Skye is nearly over. Kevin went home yesterday and Skye will be going home today. Luna will be happy but I'll miss them. Even though Kevin pretty much stayed in his room here most of the time. He was playing the FF7 remake which I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out in his room and watching - reminds me that I need to buy it for ...

heathcliff, it’s me, i’m cathy

I'm losing my sanity. I keep trying to keep good and positive thoughts about the state of things and tell myself things will be back to normal in XX amount of time but it never happens. I feel like I'm staring into an abyss. All right now that I've got that out of my system let's talk about what I did this past week. The first part of my Sailor ...

spoOoOoOky halloween

Once again I don't have much to post this week. But I'm going to divide my post into segments today instead of going chronologically. Sewing! I actually do have a small sewing update this week. Belle is wearable! I had sewn the hook and eye tape on and tried it on - and it was gaping. So I had to remove and reattach it slightly further back - worked ok ...

whelp

I don't know what I did, I think I like, upset a fairy, or made a witch mad because I'm starting to think I'm cursed. I don't have much to post this week because last week was another doozy. I think I'm going to have to book a therapist just to deal with JUST the last 3 months of my life. I have absolutely no sewing to share this week. I ...

poor unfortunate souls

So this week was a lot of stuff to do with plays. Play practice, painting play backdrops, making play costume... Halloween itself was kinda lame. As usual. It rained allll day. I wore Garth to work though I left the wig off most of the day. I was going to change into something else for handing out candy that night, but decided to be lazy and just stayed in Garth. ...

halloween hijinks

oh god that's such a stupid subject line but i'm sticking with it. I've been dealing with a cold since tuesday! Ugh! Friday it progressed into "i'm coughing so much i can't sleep/breath and I feel like I'm going to break a rib." Mucinex is my best friend right now. House stuff is at a "hurry up and wait" point. Inspection was Wednesday. Waiting on sellers to OK/do ...

Halloween, Part 2

Well this was probably the most disappointing Halloween in a long time. Since the only people who see me at my job are my coworker and my boss, and it was cold that day... I just wore Chase's Spike kigu to work over regular clothes. Over the weekend I decided that for Halloween night, I'd wear my DCNU Wonder Woman to hand out candy. It needed some repairs, so I ...
