Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone has a very happy and SAFE Halloween! Make sure to eat lots of chocolate :)

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Wow - I feel like Fall is finally here. I walked into my sewing room this morning and it was below 80 degrees hahaha. I have terrible air circulation in there, so I usually have to run the portable AC unit for a bit before I start tooling around in that room.

Halloween is next week already!!! Which means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner, too. My favorite time of year!! I just want to throw a plug out for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They only tour during the Christmas season... their show is unbelieveable!!! I saw them 2 years ago and I was blown away by the work they put into the show. Lights, lasers, pyrotechnics... and they have the most awesome musicians and singers. I'm not a huge fan of Christmas music, but I just loved their show. They did a lot of classical stuff as well. I highly recommend seeing their show if they come to your area.

Here'a a clip I found on youtube, but it does not do them justice-



They are coming to Glendale, AZ on 11-23!!!!! I've got my tickets in my hand - I can't wait!!!

My Eyes Are Burning

You know, I want to learn how to crochet really bad. I love those little amigurumis that I see people make, and they are just so cute! I bought a ton of how-to books from Amazon... I bought some yarn and a hook and did rows of double crochet until I ended up with a huge crochet kite... I read crochet blogs. Have I learned how to crochet those little animals yet? Of course not.

But then, I ran across this today, and my eyes will never be the same:




OMG!!!! And a MAN is wearing that!! All I can say is this:

Twilight

Stuff I've Been Doing

This month, so far, has just zipped by me. Halloween is friggin' next week! Holy crap! Where has the year gone? I've been in a bit of a creative slump lately... didn't really enjoy making anything and everything I did make looked crappy to me lol. Things are picking up now, though. I'm working on some costumes for a couple of adorable kiddies this week, and I've been working on some Christmas stuff, too. I'll post pics when I finish them :)

Here are a few things I made for some swaps...

Monster stuffie made with felt and machine embroidery-

Here are a couple of other pics... a gorgeous sunset seen from my backyard, and my wonderful baby boy, Pugsley :)






I hope you guys are all having a GREAT week!

End of the World

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm SO STINKIN' tired of hearing about the elections, debates, who said what when, who is a terrorist and who is Joe the Plumber... I wish it was over already! The point is, get out and vote, no? lol

My son, Kevin, showed me this video on Youtube and it pretty accurately sums up the whole politics thing :) No matter which politician you endorse, I think you'll get a kick out of this:



Happy Weekend!!
