Halloween. Done.

Eva wanted to be Galadriel this year, you know from Lord of the Rings (LOTR if you want to get dorky). She was way into getting her costume together. She picked the trim, used buttons from her collection, chose and elfish necklace, and remembered the silver choker (as headress) from a box of ebay jewelry my dad gave us. I made the dress. You will note that it has the all-important flowy sleeves and skirt. It's made out of a cheap nylon knit from a princess pattern. I had been thinking that I might want to try sewing with knits, but this Halloween costume reminded me that I really don't. I mean, wavy seams are all well and good for dress-up, but I don't not think I I want to mess with getting them straight for something to wear for real. Wovens—Ah!

So, if you've been trying to view my blog and it's been what we in the industry call "jacked up", I'm sorry. Having a major CSS error on your blog is the digital equivalent of having your underwear showing. People are not sure if they should tell you or pretend not to see. Thanks to my dad for clueing me in, and thanks to Brendan for reminding me that it's really unacceptable, because yes, I did let it sit a week between the time that I was told and the time I made the fix. Sry. :-)
