Good and Sad

So despite having had an excellent massage from the wonderful, beautiful, fantastic Auntie Ski (I'm trying to suck up for another massage in a few weeks - grin) I found out my friend from Newfoundland is definitely moving back. Which makes me sad because I was hoping to have someone to talk to all this year at the school. The other thing is that they are going to be leaving on Halloween so the kids will not be able to go trick or treating that night. So I am hoping I have enough energy to do a gift bag for the kids on their way home.

The other thing that made me sad was the new fleece hoodie (which is awesome because it is light gray and has subtle skulls in black and darker gray) that I had bought a few weeks ago had the zipper break tonight. Grrr! I am not surprised just annoyed. It was a plastic zipper so all it means is that I am going to have to go to a fabric store and pick up two new ones. After all the reason I bought the new hoodie was because my old blue one had the zipper break also. I will be a good girl (I need to keep repeating this to myself) and not buy anything else. Right! I guess we will just have to see. I currently have no time or energy to sew and I really should be. Especially if I want to make all the cloaks I want to for Quad War.

Right now though I need to work on Bear's Dragon Costume. The body is good and I am thinking of just having him wear dark pants. It's the head that I have been at an impasse on trying to figure out how to do. So on Tuesday I came up with the brilliant idea of using a baseball cap as a base. This way all the sewing that needs to be done is to build it up to look like a dragon's head. Which should be fun. LOL.
