Today is the DAY!

It is time for the Sew, Mama, Sew GIVEAWAY!! YAY!! And you won't be disappointed. Today, I am giving away one of my Baby Robots!! These are very new...so new in fact that I have not listed them to my Etsy shop yet. But all in good time, my pretties. They are entirely hand painted and handmade and are incredibly cute. If you hadn't noticed. They are only about two inches tall and come with a red string to hang as an ornament if desired. These will be available in my shop on Etsy eventually. Please pay it a visit to see what other items I have available or just to say hello! Click the blue links above.The holidays have kind of thrown me for a loop. So here's how this will work. Answer the following question. I will choose a random post on December 6th and that post will be the winner (posting more than once still only counts as one entry). QUESTION: What is one of your family's Christmas Traditions? Of course, I don't get to play but I'll share one (or two) with you anyway...since Christmas is around the corner. :)
Every year my family makes our Christmas Eve meal of Swiss Cheese Fondue, Hawaiian Meatballs, Fruit Salad, and French Bread. We open gifts and on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day (it varies sometimes) my dad reads A Child's Christmas in Whales to everyone. It's a wonderful, wonderful book full of Christmas memories by a boy who grew up in Whales, England. Check it out. It's very random but I adore it and you will too.
Okay. POST AWAY! Remember to check back to see if you won and provide me with a way to contact you! And REMEMBER to check out all the other giveaways available at Sew, Mama, Sew! Click the icon!

H-H-H-Halloween.

Well...here it is. Halloween is passed and I was probably the coolest/most original costume out there. Haha...okay maybe not really but...I had a lot of fun. I was Lady Gaga! Complete with hair-bow that I made myself. Everyone keeps saying I should start making them and selling them. definitely something to think about.

Besides Halloween and Gaga, I made some progress on baby robots. I've begun painting many many many many more. A whole army of baby robots. What could be cooler? I'm not sure. But this is a pretty cool idea if I don't say so myself. However...I realized to my dismay the other day that I forgot robot limbs the last time I went to Michael's for supplies. Their limbs! How are they supposed to do anything without limbs? So I had to make a quick run on Halloween afternoon to get some more. I hope to start assembling them this week. I am very, very excited. They're turning out pretty awesome. So stay tuned.

Beep Beep

Okay so it's not yet Halloween and sadly my Halloween costume has not quite come together. But it WILL! I am just awaiting one final thing in the mail. If only it would get here faster. Sigh.
In the meantime, I've been toying with...well...a lot of ideas. And I finally got inspired enough the other day to rampage Michael's. The materials I walked out with all (mostly) contributed to my latest creation:Baby Robots!! YAYY!! These wooden robots are about an inch and a half to two inches tall. They are hand painted, hand glued, and friggin awesome. I have not yet perfected them so they are not in my store or anywhere else. But...maybe soon. :) Either that or I'll just be greedy and keep them to myself for my own enjoyment. Nah. But yes. I am very happy with how they turned out. Still need some work but...yes. Happy. :) Yay!

Costume, Costume, Costume

I've been debating over what I should be for Halloween for several weeks now. I had a few ideas but nothing was coming together. It finally hit me thanks to my friend Monique and my costume was decided. Yesterday, I purchased a few things to finalize a few details. I still have a little to finish but so far I am rather impressed with my costume making skills. It's going to be very awesome...and very unexpected.
I like Halloween. I get into Halloween. I never really got to go trick-or-treating as a kid (living overseas and all) so I make up for it now by dressing up and having fun with it. And this year is going to be a whole new level of interesting.
Stay tuned for the grand finale.

And Counting!
