Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

So it's halloween. Most people know that Halloween is one of my favorite holiday's, probably because it involves eating candy instead of a turkey or ham.
Last year we went as the crew from Clue. Erin reminded me today of the video I made so I figured i'd post it here. Our costumes tonight are as a group too and are pretty cool. I'll be sure to 1. make a cheesy move and 2. post it here on my blog. But for now enjoy last years video:

A baby blanket

Our good friends the Krugers introduced us to the Peddycords a while back. They are a great couple and are expecting their first child next month. I couldn't resist making something for little Emma and saw some really cute fabric the other day and decided a little blanket would be perfect. I used a thin flannel material. One side has little roses and the other has stripes. I cut out the letters and then used fringe block on them so they wouldn't pull.

I am pretty stoked on how it came out. I dropped it in the mail for them yesterday. I hope their little family can enjoy it because Sofie certainly wanted to when I was taking pictures of it.

It's pretty amazing!

I got an i-phone and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I haven't actually talked on it very much, but i've been downloading applications and customizing it for about 48 straight now. Erin is going to hate me even more when we are out as I will be playing with this WAY more than the stupid game boy aka Treo.

Fun Weekend

I had a fabulous weekend!

Friday night we went over to a new friends place, hung out, and watched a surf movie. Liz is an AMAZING photographer..check out here blog here.

Afterwards Arianne, Carly, & I ended up at Pala Casino for much more drinking and shenanigans. It got pretty crazy.

Saturday night Chris and I went with the Ditch's and Moses to Haunted Halloween at Universal Studios. It was easily the scariest night of my life. Crazy men with chain saws, people jumping out from every corner, it was absolute madness. The show was awesome..I couldn't stop laughing. We ended up getting home at 3am!

Sunday the girls came oer and we made halloween costumes. We were able to bang out every ones yesterday, but mine, which I'll do over the next few nights.

On Friday before we went over to Liz's I was able to make a drink coozie..which I think is the cutest. Unfortunately I don't really drink coffee or hot drinks from a paper cup, so I can't really use it, but i'll make a bunch for friends anyway.

Squares

I made my first attempt at sewing a quilt like piece last night. Althought it was tiny it tested my skills of being patient (which I am not) and precise. My downfall is that I HATE to pin anything...so I just didn't do it with this. I did however take the time to press the seams along the way, which was a big help. I'm pretty stoked on how it all came out and now am having issues deciding what to do with it!

My Blue Birds

I saw a template for these birds and just thought it was the cutest. After trying two out I was able to get it to work for me. I ended up with 5 blue birds and strung them up with buttons and stuck em up on the wall. Love them!

What I miss about home...

FALL!
I used to love going to Goodale Orchard every fall. Actually, I dont think its even called Goodale anymore, but whatevs. I can remember bringing Hannah there every year once I got my liscence. We'd buy cider donuts, pumpkins, and cider popsicles which were just frozen cider in dixie cups with a stick in them. I loved the days when I could wear a light sweater, jeans, and socks w/Birkies (yeah I did that). Today in SoCal its 80 on the coast and 90 inland... I guess its not that bad!
