take this Halloween costume and shove it.

Post birthday "blues" here this week. Where did everyone go. More presents? I bought myself some birthday shoes. Cute!

Quiet week. Little crafting, chugging away at the socks. I thought I was beat by the short row heels, but then I had a talk to myself and sat down in a quiet place, READ Jolene's instructions through to the end and had a moment of clarity. Maybe my subconscious wanted me to rip out the heels several times on each foot?? Really. Talk about banging my head against the short rows. Finally, I got it. They're not as pretty as others I've seen, but there are NO holes. Relief.

Other than that, quiet weekend ahead. Hanging out with Al M tonight, watching Project Runway. Knitting, maybe some sewing, probably a movie and some exercise might be good as well. I'm also overdue for Moki's fabric stamp swap...so that'll be on the cards. I've received a couple already and they're excellent. The Kismet's is excellent and look at her tutorial! Cool.

Halloween seems to be on a lot of blogger's minds. It's never really been a big Australian holiday, but it seems to be gathering momentum over the years. I'm noticing more and more merchandise in stores. I guess if you have little peeps you might be into it. So as you know I just have a furry kid and he seemed keen to dress as a ghost. Well, I thought that's what he was saying....

Look, I love tissue paper, but WEARING it, I don't think so.

This is NOT funny anymore, please remove the tissue.

What, you wanna up close picture?!

Yeah, ok laugh at the cat.

Ha! Who's laughing now?

No kitties were harmed in the trying on of the ghost costume.
