A Super Sweet Halloween Costume!!!

Well here it is! Unfortunately the only picture that I have is of me singing karaoke with some sort of empty liquor bottle in the way, but it will have to do! All the crises were averted, and it actually ended up looking ok, with exception of the strange sleeves, but those have never been my strong point anyways!

I have to admit, I'm a little miffed that I didn't win an award, but there is always next year, and I already have a few ideas in mind!

Pumpkin Contest!

Well, maybe it's not actually crafty, but I thought that our pumpkin competition turned out pretty sweet. Of course, I favor ours, Chewbacca, on the left, but we eventually lost to the pumpkin eater on the right (it would be the room full of men who carved that one!) The middle one got a surprising number of votes, considering it was a last minute job. :)

Costume, Pt 1.

I've been working on my halloween costume, and while the actual dress is a bit of a disaster, the hat is so totally sweet! Plus, it finally gave me a reason to buy a glue gun, the most awesome crafting tool ever invented. (Just don't try to convince my fingertips of that, ok?) Anyways, I'll wrap my head in some left over fabric to hold my hair in, and then pin the hat to that to hold it down. :)

Jewels!

As I was wandering the aisles of my favorite store the other day, I came across this jewlery making kit. I remembered that I thought about making some watches as Christmas presents, so I picked it up. It came with some wire, a whole bunch of glass, plastic and metal beads, some pliers, pieces for earrings, and a board to assemble and hold all of the beads. I also grabbed a couple of watch faces. I got home and dived right in! I started with some simple earrings and then moved along to the watches - I was up half the night it was so much fun. I'm pretty much out of beads now, but I'm sure I'll get some more sooner or later! This could become very dangerous!
