Slapdash

Last night I finally began my Halloween costume making. Could I be any more last minute? It all of a sudden dawned on me that I would have to get started sometime as we are leaving town today and not arriving back until Friday afternoon (mere hours before trick or treat time). I'm packing up and bring along the little hand sewn bits I have left to finish off during the long car ride south: the cat ears for Ava's costume, seam binding and fabric leaves for Lilla's fall fairy costume and the woolen hat (which I dyed blue last night!) for Rowan's Minuteman outfit. Right now my sewing space is a wreck with mounds of black faux fur, snipped up woolens, velvet and voile everywhere. I'm saving cleanup for when I return. And what, might you ask, am I doing on the computer right now?
