My mum was in the hospital twice over last Christmas and New Years having a similar problem with low potassium...she would have loved something like your banana bracelet it would have made her laugh. I wish I would have thought of it actually. Hope your step-mom is ok.
Oh and by the way my aunt (the hippie) made her and her son's costumes. She made the Capt. Jack wig herself out of yarn. It was so cute little kids thought he was really Jack.
Halloween is my favorite holiday so when we planned a trip to Disney World I had to go to the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. I decided I wanted to be Helena from the My Chemical Romance music video. Looked at lots of pattens then remembered I really do not like sewing...I love making things and getting them ready but the actual act of sewing drives me crazy. So I decided to redo a dress I already had and recruit my mom. Here are some reference pics from the video With minor alterations my version of the Helena dress was born. And some action shots... We had a great time at the party, where else could I go trick or treating and get no funny looks...and a few people even knew who I was.
Your quilt is awesome!!! I am not ambitious enough to take on a quilt...sewing kind of frustrates me. But you have inspired me. I am so happy to see all the craftster members who support TWLOHA. I have been a supporter for over a year now and it is a wonderful thing...Love is the Movement.
