Not much to say!

I haven't written in a while- sorry about that! Halloween party was fun, but I think I got a bit of food poisoning but I feel better now. We did fondue and I think I didn't cook a piece of chicken enough or something. I also ate too much cheese. Blah!



That's the final of my costume. I'm the one on the left. Holding the baby is one of my good friends Angela. That's her 1 year old daughter. The dress was made by Angela (or her mom) a while ago for a wedding. She is the one who taught me how to make the bonnet (and she made hers!)I had to put a shirt underneath b/c it was kind of see-through. I hope it's good. I liked having a modest costume this year!

I want to sew something else! It was fun!

Sewing

For my halloween costume, I didn't want to feel pressured to look skanky, so I decided to do a frontier woman type outfit. Actually, I just wanted an excuse to make a bonnet :P

Anyways, I don't know how to sew, so I went to my friend Angela's house. She's really good a sewing. She is working on a Little Bo Peep costume and was making a bonnet also! The pattern was easy- just a big circle with elastic in it! I wanted an apron also so I made up my own pattern and went for it. Here is the final product.


It's kinda hard to see. Anyways, I'm very proud of my first sewing adventure! I got a sewing machine from another friend, and so I brought it to Angela's. She helped me clean it up and taught me on it. Now I got a nice little sewing corner in my living room! Unfortunately, I don't have any cloth to sew! hehe. But, I have been fixing some of T's clothing- a pair of jeans has a huge hole in the pocket, so I cut the bottom part off and sewed a new bottom! Didn't think to take pictures!

Anyways, that's about it right now!
