Hi guys......I am surprised I am even alive after this weekend. Seriously I spent almost my entire weekend at a sewing machine! I went a little crazy with baby shower gift making! But let me back up a little. We also went to a Halloween party.
Friday night......after waiting until the very last second possible to pick up the supplies for our Superhero Gender Bender Halloween party, I went home to make our costumes. Basically....men went as a masculine versions of a female superhero and vice versa. Darin went as Poison Ivy (I know she's a villian.....I don't even care) and I went as Tony Starke (Iron Man in normal clothes.) I bought nylons, fake ivy and some sick on eyebrows to make D sleeves of ivy and ivy brows. I mixed up some hair gel with food coloring and dyed his hair red. It was completely awesome. Unfortunately he lost an eyebrow on the way to the party, but improvised and made it a mustache.....I.DIED!
I only had enough creativity this Halloween for one costume so I just threw on my business suit and put a mini disc around my neck. Everyone thought I was Pepper Potts instead....whatevs!

Saturday was spent at my sewing machine and listening to Grey's Anatomy reruns. But I managed to get a million (ok like 10) things made for the baby shower! I am so excited to write a post on what she's getting! I made my first official solo messenger bag (diaper bag!) Super excited! I hope she loves everything! I seriously want to keep it all!
Sunday we drove up to see my folks for the afternoon. The pup decided that she was going to be so comfortable lying on a bolt of fabric for the hour and a half trip! Super silly.
She had a blast playing with my parents dog Gracie, running around the sectional about a thousand times. She seemed slightly sore when we left. D and my dad watched football all afternoon and mom and I hung out in her new craft room putting the snaps on the bag.....snafu-ed by the fact that the snaps I bought were not heavy duty so they popped off! >/ Now I have to go buy more "heavy-duty" snaps to finish it before the shower!
Other than all that it was a relaxing weekend. I hope you all had a great one! Hopefully I can get some good photogs of these gifts and do some tutorials as well! Stay tuned for that!
I love his poison ivy costume. It turned out great.
