I haven’t made much time for crafting of any sort lately – I haven’t even fixed the sweater in my last post yet, which is kind of shameful.

When it came time to make my Halloween costume, I had all these grand ideas and really the best of intentions, but well… you know how it goes. I dressed as Tippi Hedren in The Birds, and in the end I was pretty happy with the way it came out.

I have always wanted to be a Hitchcock blonde, so this was a fun costume, if not my most successful crafting venture of all time.

I wrote much more about it on my regular blog, if you’re interested in the details of my silly birds and the challenge of making a costume with only corrugated cardboard and a borrowed suit.

I do hope to make some more time for knitting and crafting soon. I have all these great projects in the works and an intense desire to do things with my hands that aren’t Calculus problems. I’ll try not to be a stranger.
