Less Crazy, more pain....

[ianuk]

Well, things are going..the previous night I tried to put my geisha hairstyle on my wig and it failed miserably. So last night after work which was productive I headed to errands and then went to knit night. It was a quiet night and I got about an inch on my hat. I don't have the capacity for anything other than stockinette in the round right now.

Got home and got the gun laquered, got the spat buttons recolored to silver and laquered and cut out my hat pieces and spray glued felt on them. I also got my sleeves and their lining pieces cutout before bed. I was tired and my ears are killing me. I was going to hot glue my buttons on the spats (their are fake, its velcro) but I don't have a hot glue gun anymore...wtf? So I will need to buy one, again.

Picture of the hat in progress...the hat will be black and red...the felt is stashbusting.


Also, in other news...Benton is growing...I took this picture yesterday when he was snuggling with his dad in the morning. If you know mel, you know how tall he is and looking at the boy, how big he is. His legs are all skinny right now and his pot belly is growing again...growth spurt!



I've also been playing with my hair more and did a rockabilly thing for work the other day.
