Sewing!!

Sorry!! I haven't been blogging!! I've been caught up in making my Halloween costume!! I'm making a Revolutionary era dress- its a red and white stripe. I'm also getting to learn how to make a corset (send good thoughts my way!!). :)

If you look closely, you can see the dress I'm making int he pic I added- see the yellow dress?? I'm making that, but not the hat or shawl (maybe... we'll see how ambitious I get).

Hair Cut :)

Don't you love it when people don't blog forever, and then post a ton in one day :)

So... I chopped off my hair!! Like a month ago....

But I took off almost a foot :)

I still have the hair in my possession, but I plan on sending it on to locks of love when I get the chance.

Roller Derby

A few weeks ago, a friend who.... an interesting guy announced that he wanted my roommates and I to go to a mystery event. He refused to say what exactly we were going to, only that the tickets were cheap and that we had to pick him up by a certain time...

And this is the event we found our selves at: Girls Roller Derby!!!

Let me tell you, this even was everything I thought it would be!! From chicks in little skirts pushing each other to scary announcers with matching Mohawks to weird fans (check the guy with the purple platforms)

I would seriously suggest this for all my adult friends/relatives.
