Crawling out of my hole.
Nov. 3rd, 2011 10:24 am I have noticed when things get bad, or stressful I withdraw from the world. This is probably not the most productive thing to do, probably makes it worse in fact because I also don't do things I love to get out of the funk.... BUT ANYWAY... Things have not so much been bad as just busy and stressful. I have been reading everyone's posts. Just not enough time to reply much less make my own posts. I have also been sewing. Just not much nor fast.
Of course we just had Halloween. The costumer's holiday, (unless you go to Costume College :) ) I knew I was in a funk when I didn't get crazy excited and It didn't lite fire under my bum. I did help a friend with her kids costumes. I hope their good enough to be clear on what they are. I blurred out their faces though. The whole not my kids and to many crazies out there.
Doing these made me happy. Even if they are much quicker and dirtier that most of my costumes, results are definitely seen. And the little girl totally loved it which always helps.
I was working on my husband's Halloween Costume. The Coon from Southpark. All the furry bits are done. Just need to put the C on a shirt and cape. He got asked if he was a cat and/or a fox... So not as much success with that one yet.
I was also following along with Casey from Elegant Musing's
I didn't get finished in time to for the finished party post, But I am trying to make mine into the sailor Dress. Its slowly getting there. :)
I decided to play with making some of my own hair ties. I like them. They are fun! Plus they add a little bit of girlie to a very plain work wardrobe.
With it being the holiday season A lot of my crafting with be geared towards that. But I am hoping to be productive enough to finish the sailor dress also. We'll see I guess.
