Okay here's what's going on in my sewing room...
The Princess finally laid out another block!
Notice the high heel? hahaha!
I was all Halloween costume-d out this weekend, so instead, I put together a quick quilt top, using only two fabrics, and a modified version on Melissa's Happy Quilting quilt-a-long quilt.
It looks so cool! I'll be finishing it pretty soon, so stay tuned.
So - on to the "lost it" portion of the post.
Last Thursday, the kids went to a Halloween party. Remember the Thor costume?
Well... it didn't work. The cape came off and little man managed to cover the shirt in frosting. That is the excuse I am going to use as to why I re-did the entire thing. (The real reason is that we watched the movie over the weekend, and all I could think of was how lame my costume was.)
So... re-do! I am pleased with how it came out! Here's a sneak peek: (which, I'm not trying to be tricky here, I just haven't taken any good pictures yet!)
I will be getting pictures in all it's glory tomorrow, and will post pictures right after that! :)
Finally - as a last bit of crazy, I decided to use leftovers to make the kids Trick-or-Treat bags that matched their costumes.
Mom of the Year, right?
So now I just have my costume to do and a day and a half to do it! Wish me luck! :) This is how it looks right now...
lol.

ReplyDeleteLove the little high heel, so cute!! I can't wait to see the whole Thor costume, I bet it looks great!
ReplyDeleteLol, that high heel jumped right out at me! I can't wait to teach my daughter to sew. You are mom of the year making more costumes and trick or treat bags. I'm feeling quite lame - haha!
ReplyDeleteWow, you definitely deserve Mom of the Year! Great job with the costumes, Lindsay. Loving the colours of you QAL quilt -- looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteI think your work is cut out for you in the next few days dear! But you definitely are mom of the year! Can't wait to see the quilt!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely mom of the year!
ReplyDeleteYup, definitely mom of the year!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see the Thor costume...and I love those shoes! :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely mom of the year! That purple quilt looks interesting, I look forward to seeing the rest.
ReplyDeleteHey--I'd vote for you for Mom of the Year, ESPECIALLY because you make all these fabulous costumes (one of them twice) AND a trick-or-treat bag AND your own costume, plus run a marathon (we can't forget that one, can we?). You rock! And you made a quilt top in one night with two fabrics? Gosh--you're going to get exalted and leave us all behind!
ReplyDeleteCan hardly wait to see further photos--it's all terrific.
