Last year, I went the easy route and bought my costume. This year, I've had an idea in mind since the last party, but discovered my costume is not available for purchase anywhere- not even on the internet! I thought you could find ANYTHING on the internet. It just isn't so.
So, it looks like I will be making my costume this year. Which I actually am starting to get really excited about. I'm still not sure how I will make the headdress, but I'm taking it one step at a time. Last night, I got my boots, some fabric, my thread, and some velcro...
My mumsy said she will help me use my grandma's sewing machine. Trust me, the help is needed. I also have already borrowed a sword, although my sword's not NEARLY as awesome as Cory's. But, mine's much less dangerous and if you've ever seen my level of clumsiness while drunk...it's probably a good thing my sword is plastic. Plus, mine makes noise, and that's pretty sweet.
In other crafty news, my friend Ponycutter came across boxes upon boxes of iron-on letters, and I requested an "E" or two. In response, he gave me one or two of every kind of "E" he had, then laughed and said he didn't think I'd ever find anything to do with all, or even most, of the "E"s. Clearly, he underestimated my love of the first letter of my name.
So far, I have used one of each of the white "E"s I was given, plus one blue and one orange. I've only just begun...there are still 3 or 4 black "E"s to find homes for...
Tonight I'm going on a hunt for a white dress and a tiara... Wish me luck, I need just the right stuff...
Hooray for creativity!
