What to be? Or what not to be? That is the question.

Around this time of year I usually have a pretty solid idea of what to be for Halloween. I mean, let's be honest; I will dress up as Link at some point, but I like to have multiple costumes lined up for the festive fall season.

One I have recently thought of (and I actually contemplated last year), that I really would like to do is an Ewok. Yes, those furry little teddy bear-like creatures that live on the moon planet Endor and that throw rocks at people as their primary form of self defense. From Star Wars, if any of you are confused. I remember a customer in my store last year who was partaking in a Star Wars themed Halloween party. I was astonished at her choice of being a member of the best known species in a galaxy far, far away. "Why didn't I think of that!?", I thought.

And so, this year I have decided, if financials persist, to create this ingenious ensemble from scratch. I don't know how, but I am determined. All I need is a big swack of fun fur, extreme patience, and there we would have it! An Ewok! I'm even thinking of a pretty spiffy Jawa costume for next year. Best be ahead of myself than behind! I will keep an update on the progress, if it happens!

75 and counting..

So I came across this webpage while I was Stumbleupon-ing the other day, and I couldn't resist! It shows you how to make glass marble magnets, and I thought, "I need to make some of these bad boys!"

I finally got around to it yesterday, and lo and behold, I made 75 Halloween magnets. Ok, so I had a little help from my boyfriend Troy, but seriously, I could not stop! I was like a factory robot on overload, and the fumes from the glue I was using started to make me feel like I was about to malfunction. But all in all the result was well worth it! I can't wait to make more! AHHH!!
