I was going to start this blog on September 1st but I got a bit distracted. I've been moving stuff around since my time with Brandy has ended. I stayed with Jackie for a few days and now I'm staying at my Grandparent's place. They're on vacation right now so I pretty much have the place to myself... almost. My cousin Sean has been coming over daily to hang out and use Grandma's computer. He's not too much bother but a little bit distracting. I have been doing some crafty stuff too. I have a pile of stuff to take pics of and post.
My new plan is to start Blogging on October 1st. I guess this blog doesn't officially count because I'm not posting anything crafty. I'll just throw out a few of the random things running through my mind....
Brandy's son Ben has been driving us nuts about Halloween since Sept. 1st. We've tried to convince him that a month ahead of the holiday is enough time to prepare and make fun things. But he's been bringing stuff home from school and coming up with ideas for making a costume and watching every Halloween themed movie that Brandy owns.
It's slowly been breaking me down and now I've got ideas running through my head. I figure I can come up with some fun Halloween activities for me and Brandy and her boys to do. I'm also working on my costume. I usually go trick-or-treating with Brandy and the kids but this year I've asked her if I can dress up her front porch and give out candy. I want to create a haunting scene with me as a fortune-telling Gypsy. I have strobe lights and all kinds of witchy items to lay the scene. Safeway sells dry ice so I was going to buy some and create a bubbling cauldron.
I have lots of Halloween ideas that I'm sure Ben will be happy to help me with.
My other inspiration right now comes from the Handcar Regatta. I went last year with Brandy because her mother called us the day it was happening. It was so much fun and there was so much eye candy. This year I found out about it early and even dressed up a bit. I love the Moulin-Rouge inspired fashions mixed with Vernian styled Sci-Fi contraptions. Steampunk is a delightfully eclectic and anachronistic fad. I see so much potential in adding a little Steampunk flair to my everyday life.
So that's some of the stuff that's going through my creative mind right now. Plenty to keep me busy for a while.
More coming soon.... Hopefully
