Runaway October

I’ve been tagged by Tamara of Quar­ter of an inch, so here’s my… uhm, entry?

“Open the 6^th pic­ture folder on your com­puter, open the 6^th photo and blog it. Write some­thing about it. Then tag 6 more peo­ple to do the same.”

This pic­ture is hor­ri­ble. It’s fuzzy and there’s a shadow run­ning through it. I like it though. It’s my lit­tle brother pos­ing while get­ting ready to play WoW. Notice the cute pink tower in the lower cor­ner, it’s my moms com­puter — doesn’t that rock? He’s sin­gle ladies. I’ll give you his email

As far as tag­ging peo­ple, well… if you’d like to play please help your­self. Just leave a lit­tle com­ment to let us know and we’ll come visit once you post. Capiche?

I have been tagged by Tamara of 1/4 of an inch. Yay!

With­out fur­ther ado:

1.) I absolutely abhor clowns in any shape and form. *twitch* They really make me get creepy crawlies and I have to look away. I’m always afraid that I may go bal­is­tic if one ever approaches me in per­son.

2.) My hus­band pesters me to stop drink­ing soda, and I know I should. But I fear the caffiene with­drawls I get . I also fear try­ing to get through the day with­out caffiene.

3.) I des­per­ately want a lit­tle girl, but I need to drop a lot of weight (I’d be happy with 80 pounds) and I’d like to have the 3k for my home­birth mid­wife saved up already.

4.) I have a prob­lem fol­low­ing through and fin­ish­ing projects. I have 4 sewing projects that need fin­ish­ing and a ton of stuff that needs doing for Hal­loween.

5.) Speak­ing of Hal­loween, it is by far my favorite hol­i­day — fol­lowed by Christ­mas and St Patrick’s Day.

6.) I spend mas­sive amounts of time scour­ing blogs for tuto­ri­als. Much more time that I actu­ally spend doing the tuto­ri­als. Sad.

7.) Matt and I are try­ing to get into Real Estate invest­ing, but we’re hav­ing a hard time get­ting the money together for the tuition. I’m really scared about some of the cre­ative financ­ing ideas he is com­ing up with. I don’t want to ruin the lit­tle credit we have.

Wow. That felt like a mini ver­sion of Post­Se­cret!

As far as tag­ging peo­ple, well that never works. If you feel like play­ing please join me. Leave me a com­ment if you decide to play along.

Oh! I will tag Tina of Miz­zTin­aBam­Bina. Go check out her blog!

Still try­ing to decide if all 3 of these would work well together. Flow­ers and Stripes is City GIrl by Berna­tex and Giraffe print is Happy Trails by Bernatex.

We’d love to have you join the fun. Check out Tamara’s blog 1/4 of an inch for info!

So I decided to join in Sun­day Stash started by Tamara of 1/4 of an inch. The idea is to air out some of your stash and maybe get some inspiration.

This is one of my favorite fab­rics. I picked it up on clear­ance when a local Han­cocks was going out of busi­ness. I’m not sure what to do with it though. Of course I bought 2 yards… just in case

This is a lovely lit­tle 1 yard piece that I just picked up at Good­Will this Sat­ur­day. $1.50! Go Me! It is Alexan­der Henry’s “The Great Pumpkin”.

Under­neath both of these is a huge piece of yummy cor­duroy that I also scored at the thrift store also. It’s a rusty red­dish brown that will make great fall or win­ter projects. I intend to use it for steam­punk cos­tumes, of course.

If you’d care to join in, hop on over and tell Tamara that you’d like to play too.
