Happiest Haunts Materialize!

I can see the end of our move in sight! We’ve had so many random little hiccups during the move in process, but I think I’ll be able to share our new place with you all in the near future! There will still be a few bare spots, as we still quite haven’t found some decor…

Boo!

For Halloween this year we went to a Kick-Ass Oregon History event at the Jack London, which included tales of northwest satanism and suicide and some burlesque performances, including one of my friends. While costumes were encouraged, and there was even a costume contest, I hadn’t planned a costume, and my last minute costume didn’t…

Are You Ready for Halloween?

The real “goal” of going to Disneyland this go around was to attend one of Mickey’s Halloween Parties, something I’ve never done before. These parties, which take place during select nights during the Halloween season, are the only time when those over the age of nine are permitted to wear costumes, and since I love…

Rock Around the Park

On our last day in the park this visit, I donned my Zero circle skirt and we joined the rockabilly crowd for Rock Around the Park, a day in which a bunch of rockabilly people get together and go to Disneyland. We arrived early, being one of the first people in the park, and when…

No Manly Monday today. Sorry for the inconvenience. Patrick has been swamped by work! His company is in the process of launching/announcing something new and terrific! So he has had his nose to the grindstone. Instead you get my Halloween pumpkin! After much thought and hard work, I finished my painting my pumpkin over the weekend!…

Over the weekend Patrick and myself and a few friends went out to The Pumpkin Patch for a day filled with getting lost in a corn maze and picking for pumpkins. According to Patrick I found this year’s pumpkin in record time. I often find myself in the far most corner of the pumpkin patch…

“Do we need the monkey?”

If you’ve been watching my Twitter or Instagram, you’ll have noticed weeks upon weeks of updates pertaining to my Halloween costume. Well, here it is, folks! This year I’m going as Marion Ravenwood from Raiders of the Lost Ark in her “Streets of Cairo” outfit of red harem pants and white peasant blouse (and Patrick…

Costume Construction

August 16, 2012, 10 Comments

So, it may be August, but I’m already thinking about Halloween (to be fair, Fabric Depot already has a display full of costume patterns out). I had tossed about many ideas, but many required sewing skills I do not yet have (and don’t wish to tackle yet) and/or would be quite costly. And then I…

A Spooktacular Halloween

Last night I once again hosted my mellow Halloween party, an evening filled with good friends, delicious beignets, a rousing game of Apples to Apples, and wonderful costumes. This year I grew mouse ears and a tail to become the Showgirl Mouse from Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective. Patrick went as Number 6 from the…

Corn and Pumpkins

Over the weekend, Katie, Patrick and I took the small drive over to Savie Island to visit The Pumpkin Patch. Saturday was the first decently sunny and non-rainy day Portlanders had had in awhile, and with the prediction to be more rain, the Patch was full of families running around eating corn on the cob…
