Got about 7 wigs to sell after doing a quick sort.  (Ack, I had so many wigs that I forgot even getting.)  Depending how well this goes, I might have others later.  (I think there was a couple that got stuck in with what I was keeping.)  Most of these are for costumes I am no longer interested in making or were just wrong for what I needed.

Oh, and ( Read more... )

I actually was good and took stock of all the wigs I have for costume purposes.  I can say that there are some I will NEVER use.  They are all "Party"/un-natural colors.  Several were for costumes I am no longer interested in making and a couple were purchased by "accident."  (You know- they looked perfect for so&so but weren't.)  I'm going to try ( Read more... )

I recently learned a little trick to clean-up some ornaments.  This was because of a Hallmark ornament I bought off of ebay.  (In excellent condition my @$$!)  The seller failed to mention it was displayed on a REAL tree and had tree sap all over it.  Happily, a Q-tip with some rubbing alcohol works wonders and removes dried/hardened tree sap with ( Read more... )

Okay, Saturday's snowfall WAS odd and a little out of season.  Nothing deserving a cutesy name though.  What is it with the reporters trying to give things stupid names and making out like it's a MAJOR event?  Thankfully I only heard the one station try to name it and it didn't seem to stick.  Probably were told they were being stupid.  "Snow-tober ( Read more... )

Usually, I am ALL about Halloween.  This year...I just can't get into it at all.  Instead...I want to decorate for Christmas!?!  What the heck?  Who am I and what have I done to the 'real' me ( Read more... )

Really.  This year is going by way to fast.  Next thing I will know it's New Year's and I'll be "WTF happened?"  (Not to say that I am NOT already saying that...)

Halloween.  And I really just can't get into it this year.  Granted I have a month yet to get into the spirit but it is my favorite holiday.  I usually get more excited about it by know.

Yup, I'm finally getting to work on those costumes of mine.  I'm ACTUALLY being good and work on those costumes I started on years ago and never finished.  I'm also finish the repairs on others.  Though hand sewing in the heat that was going on SUCKS.  I was roasting while sewing last week- and I was under a fan in air conditioning!

I've ALMOST ( Read more... )

I work on those projects (that had been piling up for the last 10 years or so) and suddenly I have more space ( Read more... )

Not sure how coherent I am going to be since I am really tired ( Read more... )

Well, I decided against running down to Hunt Valley for a day.  My work schedule for today is what decided it.  Normally I don't go in until around noon but I had to be in earlier today.  If I had gone I wouldn't have gotten back until really late (or REALLY early in the morning) because of staying for the masquerade.  I have set aside some stuff ( Read more... )
