So our neighbor's kid has "The Ultimate Bible Sticker Activity Book". My kid has "The Ultimate Star Wars Sticker Activity Book". I think it's clear where our allegiance lies.

The Force is my Shepherd; I shall not want. It maketh me to lie down in green pastures on Naboo: It leadeth me beside the still swamps on Dagoba. It restoreth my midichlorians ( Read more... )

I'm regrouping, working on getting things from recent projects cleaned up and put away and reorganized and such. I'm also making lists of what's next. I've got three partially finished costumes on my plate right now. I had wanted to start a secret project to be completed by the end of January. But it would appear I don't have the budget (or ( Read more... )

( Another mostly fun and busy weekend. )

I knew when I decided to do the costuming 365 project that ALEP was already a lost cause at that point and Halloween was going to be insane as well and neither event would really benefit from my newly adopted determination to not procrastinate. So in that vein, I stayed up for about 31 hours yesterday and today to get Jonah's R2D2 done for his " ( Read more... )

Since I couldn't sleep, I thought I'd get up and work on my Leia belt. I'm trying not to stress over the fact that my fabric isn't here yet.

The house is still a construction site. We've ( Read more... )

As I was making lunch yesterday, I started asking Jonah what he wanted to do for a Halloween costume. At first, I tried to convince him to do Adventure Time costumes because I thought I could throw them together with minimal sewing and a couple of trips to the thrift store. But he's been watching Star Wars again lately (and walking around on all ( Read more... )

I'm finally chipping away at the stuff I wanted to get done over the weekend. Jonah and I got through his toy box downstairs and quite a bit of his room yesterday. Jonah was somewhat resistant and was onto me as soon as I pulled out two boxes and started throwing stuff in them. He walks up and says, "are those toys to take to Goodwill?" Then ( Read more... )

In an effort to both post more and to be more positive...

Rules: For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same. I'm not tagging anyone, so if you'd like to do it, DO IT!Despite several viewings of The Empire Strikes Back in his short life, Jonah just today discovered the phrase "laugh it up ( Read more... )
