so...i've once again changed my mind as to what i wanna be for halloween...and i think these dresses/bikinis?..are really cute, but im not sure how to make them,they look really simple but knowing my lucck i'de probably really eff it up haha (andi only have this afternoon/tonight to make it!)..so please please please help me or give suggestions as to how and make this dress:

i need ideas guys and gals! what should i be for halloween? this is what i have:


black strapless dress
boots
a surgical face mask
a plastic pop pistol
converse (not the high tops)
and black framed glasses.
bear ears (headband thingy but i wore this last year)



and thats about it..and i dont have money to really go buy anything else right now...
anyone from a movie or anything with any of this stuff that i can go as?
im seriously clueless as what to be?

yesterday while thrift shopping i found these neat looking purse handles and they were only 1.75 for a set of 2!  theyre about 12 inches long at the bottom and they fit nicely over the shoulder



my question though is what is the easiest way to attach them to a purse?

i have an obession with paisley...yup yup...so when i saw this fabric i just had to take some home  ..and make this reallly cute purse..its about 17 inches wide at the bottom the top is about 12 inches annd the straps are 21 inches so it fits over the shoulder very nicely   im thinking maybe adding a brown bow in one of the top corners...but im not to sure if it will make it look to busy or not so ide like some opinions?

its really not that lopsidded and crooked looking in person! i just got excited i had finished it and took pictures before ironing it  
i'll try to take a better one later tonight. so what do you all think?

ok...so my plastic horizontal blinds really arent cutting it anymore...ive been pet sitting a cat that has chewed them up,you can see right through them now! lol  ...probably because they were already broke and wouldnt open in the first place
but anywho since theyre broken ive been wanting to replace them...but i dont want to use horizontal blinds,ive been seeing these awesome cloth blinds/curtain things...but i have no idea how to even begin to make them.....is there a tutorial on here somewhere or does anyone know how i could go about making these?

walmart had this material on sale for 1 dollar a yard so i had to have it..i didnt really know what i was going to make so i bought 4 yards of it...2 yards went to making a dress..and almost 2 yards went to making  pants...theyre not very flattering....but whoa...are they comfy! 

oh also..theyre about 3-4 inches shorter now...theyre still rather long in these photos

so what do you all think? i think i might take them in a litle bit around the thigh area..

after studying a purse at target..trying to figure out the handles/shape of it...i got out some newspaper and sketched up a pattern...
nevermind the ugly floor!..i was going to take a picture of it on my bed...but my room is as dark as a cave!...hehe

i might add a some ribbon to it or something...it looks kind of plain..what do you think?
heres a close up of the material.

so i love me some taking back sunday 
and i wasnt to sure where to post this since its sorta a reconstruction/stencil/iron on...hehe...so i just put it here...
my momma gave me an old lab coat she was going to give to the goodwill...so i cut it up!...and made a purse...and i found the front stencil on stencilry<3
i was going to stencil the back side...but then i started and was like OMG its is going to take forever...and then i f*cked up his hand and was like
then i was like whoa whoa!!
i have iron on transfers somewhere...so i pulled apart the cabinet thing to find them...haha...
and heres what i got
heres the front:

and the back:


these pictures do it no justice!...plus i have it stuffed full of stuff! haha
i should have made it bigger!....oh well....i plan on wearing this purse till it falls apart.

ive been trying to make a stencil out of this photo of my doggie..and i cant seem to get it right...and when i do think it looks somewhat likea stencil it looks really difficult to cut out...

ok...so nomally i would never ever really deal with wool yarn...but...my grandma gave me a huuuuge bag of scrap yarns and such...so in there amongst other non-wool yarns was 80 yards of off white wool....and another 40 yards of black...and i want to make something for someone..is there anyway to bleach the black wool? so i can koolaid dye it later? do you all think 80 yards would be enough to make a thin scarf? 
sorry im really not to experienced with crochetting, i do more sewing that crochetting...any help/suggestions are  appeciated!
