One more week until You Bazaar!
Its getting down to the wire for my show next week, and I can't find any fleece anywhere!! I finally found polyfil, but my search for fleece goes on. Crazy Bay area fabric stores! I do have some reserves, so that is what I am working with. I have gotten some stuff done!
I made some ornaments/package tags out of shrink plastic and they turned out super cute! I love them, they even have bells on them :D I will show you tomorrow!
I decorated my skeleton from Ryan and it is adorable. I am almost ready for Halloween, I am going to be a housewife! I need some heels and an apron and a potholder mitt thing and I will be ready. Ryan is going to be a business man. :D Fun.
So, more creating this week, more working and more fun hopefully~

FUNctional crafting
Its starting to get *chilly* at the bus stop in the morning! So, a repurposed strip of a quilt that fizzled out and a little bit of fleece to back it and keep me toasty and I am on my way all quilty snuggly warm in the morning.
I must say, crafting is my favorite thing and I am such a big fan of being able to just whip up whatever you need. If only I could craft some fun ladies to hang out with. i am tired of the flaky ones hanging out around me. Or I just need my little Ertiepie friend to hang out some more! I need another lady's day for us. I live with 4 boys right now and sometimes you just need to girl-out. You know, eat some ice cream, watch a cheesy romantic movie, that kind of stuff.
I bought some shrinky plastic-y stuff. I am going to try and make a few Christmas time ornaments to have for my show, I hope they turn out how I want. I am having the hardest time finding a fabric store and polyfil. I finally went somewhere today and it sucked. :*( there was a really mean old lady cutting my fabric and telling me how much she liked to correct people's kids and tell them to control them. Bummer.

Somebody's been sewing!!!
that somebody would be this guy. Or girl, whatevs. I have been doing a few projects here and there. Still haven't had a chance to get any polyfil and have been living off of the little bits I have left :D
But I have been stitching up a bit and I am so happy with myself. Tomorrow I am going to venture down to good old Daly city in order to find some fabric. It is getting to be that time for me. Again, I have a show pretty soon that I need to sew for and I better get my stuff together or I will have nothing to sell!! And that would be bad.
So, more dolls for me, more dogs and more spray cans and whatever else I can think of. More monsters! I don't know. More stuff!
I have a couple ideas for cute Christmas-y types of things but nothing has materialized yet.
I still like my job, which is cool. I am working my little butt off. I still need to buy a coat too.
I am hoping to get to a pumpkin patch this weekend. I want some apple cider and a candy apple. MMMM oh and some pumpkins to carve! I don't have a costume, I think I might flake out this year. We will see what I come up with.

Feet
We had a weird weird weekend this time around! Good for us but crazy drama all around!
Here we are at the ocean with our feets in the water! It was a beautiful day Sunday and we sauntered down to the beach, rolled up our pant legs and chased the dog into the water! She was sooo funny. Walking into the waves and then when the water hit her jumping and sprinting as fast as she can away! It was great.
Ryan also sold a painting! I am the proudest person ever! So we celebrated with pizza from Za's and ice cream! A super lovely day :D It felt like a mini vacation. So weird!
I also officially am hired at my job this week! Now all I need is a scarf and a coat and I am golden,
I really have to get some things sew too, I have a show coming up in a couple of weeks! :D
