Scurry Scurry

Current Location: Dad's house, Rio Linda

  Got sick of hand-sewing my stupid foot wrapping.  If I buy some gray thread, then I can do it by machine instead which will be much faster - very important with less than a week left to work.  Instead I got started on the rest of the costume.  Here is my shirt, before and after.

Stuff

Current Location: Dad's house, Rio Linda

  We had some trouble with our internet provider, and were on pay-by-the-hour dialup for at least a week and a half.  So I was using the internet as little as possible and now I have some catching up to do.  I intend to backdate those entries as I post them, so that everything will be in chronological order by when it happened, not when I typed it up.  Sorry if this confuses anyone.

  Here's what I did today: more shopping.  Apparently it was a holiday of some sort, so the Goodwills were having 50% off sales on all donated items.  At the first one we went to, I tried on practically every pair of linen pants in the store, having decided it was stupid to try to make every piece of my Halloween costume from scratch in two weeks.  Here's what I ended up with:
The Chinese shirt and giant top hat were impulse buys.  The one will be painted or distressed or something and hopefully sold for Nova Albion, the other is for the party and may look well atop the sarcophagus or a lamp.
