The Costume...dun dun dun...

From Tuesday, October 14, 2003 

I sat down to cut out the pattern for my costume tonight and to get the material ready. God I forgot what a pain that is...especially when all you have is floor space to work with and three cats, one of them being a 6 month old kitten. Ack!! Double Ack!! I got it done though, thankfully and only a little kitty wrestling had to happen. Now all that's left is putting it all together. Well, that and the head piece. That's my nightmare waiting to happen. Not to mention I do have to put the finishing touches on the neck piece. Right...so I still have a lot to do. Damn! Why do I have to be so damn meticulous and picky when it comes to costumes? I know why..that was really very rhetorical. It comes down to loving Halloween and wanting to do my best with it every year. Thus far I have never been the same thing twice so I have to come up with new ideas. Which generally means custom made stuff. No problem really except when I get something historical/mythological (which is usually the case recently anyway) in my head. Ok, enough about the costume, time to sleep. My back is hurting for some reason. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with bending over material for an hour or more... :D
