Happy Friday + Randomness

October 31, 2014

2014-halloween-pumpkin

Happy Friday! I’m dragging my feet on the girl-transforming-into-werewolf costume for K and my pleas for her to wear the ninja costume tonight are falling on deaf ears. I obviously need to re-evaluate who’s the boss here.

*************************

A random comment on the age-old game of tag by K:

I’m not that into being “it” these days. I’m totally over it.

*************************

Alright, I better see if I can muster the energy to focus on assembling faux fur…Have a great weekend, friends!

Happy Halloween!
Will you trick or treat tonite?
Chocolate’s my fave

    another vote for chocolate here:)

    And you already rock as costume-maker extraordinaire! Feel free to share with K that there are WAY worse moms living in parts of the world (Michigan) that make their children go through the dress up box the night before:)

      Aw, thanks Lucinda! I pulled it off at the very last second but you’ll see that it didn’t quite turn out the way I thought it would be…;-)

    Being it really isn’t that great I’m hiding from trick or treaters and my kids went to bed at 7. The 5 and under crowd gets up too early to party after dark

I just realized that this week marks 10 years sinc I just realized that this week marks 10 years since my first craft book Sewing Happiness was published. I’ve sewn literally thousands of garments and other textile projects in the last decade! I included a Sashiko primer in the book, and I’m delighted that this humble Japanese embroidery practice has stood the test of time - if anything, I’ve noticed that there’s an ever growing enthusiasm for hand stitching. Fun news: I’ll be teaching a virtual Sashiko workshop for @tatterbluelibrary on Thursday, April 30th at noon ET. Link in profile! Would love to see you there! 💙💙💙💙💙
