Current Mood : Ready for November !
Happy Halloween ! Arranged another trade today, which,
fortunately for me, didn’t involve sewing anything. Someone was looking for
Ghoulia’s issue diary, and I had two, so I asked for the Casketball shoes she
had up for grabs. Can always use more boyfiend shoes, and I have plenty of
spray paint to make ‘em unique. I like trading – it’s like getting rewarded for
cleaning out the cluttery stuff !
Made little drawstring treat
bags for Dearest Son and the girls next door. I’d reserved one of each candy we
had in our trick-or-treat bowl, plus some of the MH favors from that pack I got the doll-size Decomposition Books
in, and it just didn’t look cool in a plastic sandwich baggie. So I made bags from
the black broadcloth I had sitting around, and added ribbons in their favorite
colors. Much better. Don’t know of a kid anywhere who can’t use a neat bag for
small treasures. Sandwich bags, not so much.
Unfortunately, that’s the
only sewing I got done today. Due to the holiday, Dearest’s schedule with his
grandparents was shifted to tonight, so they could take him trick-or-treating
in their neighborhood. Between showers, getting him ready, and getting the
trades in the mail, not to mention the bags, there just wasn’t time. Maybe
tomorrow, after family therapy, I can squeeze at least getting it started in !
Once I had the swap dress in
the mail, I kinda copped out and opened the Ghouls
Rule DracuLaura dress I got in exchange. I can probably remove the
half-overskirt, but the sleeves will have to stay. May shorten them, but
honestly, I haven’t even put it on a doll yet. It’s a lovely dress, though. I
also got my Coffin Bean sofa and
chair in the mail today, but it was locked up in the office for the day by the
time I checked. Gotta go tomorrow, anyway – rent day !
If you’re wondering why I
haven’t commented on the recent sale of Lucasfillm to Disney, it’s because I’m
kind of still in shock. I mean, I knew ole George said he wasn’t doing any more
Star Wars films, but for sure I wasn’t
expecting Disney to ! Guess I handed in my fangirl card at about the right
time, for once.
Well, time to go pick up
Dearest Son. Hope your hauntings were fun today !
