Have found motivation for working on the Halloween costume -- I have friends throwing parties on the 29th and 30th. Motivation is good!

Motivation may possibly have come too late...there's really still a lot of beading to do on this thing! I'd still love to finish it, and I will try, but if I manage to finish beading the corset and not the tails, I'll still be reasonably pleased. As long as there's also a hat.

I think I've decided to dye my hair for the occasion, and buy extensions -- not necessarily in that order! The length of my own hair just doesn't cut it (harr harr).

Also I'm nearly out of silver bugle beads, boo. I thought I had another bag but apparently not! Off to pay Jo-ann's a visit tomorrow, I suppose. Gotta remember to get stupid glue-on rhinestones as well.

OH ALSO: I've finally been hired, yay! It's for this jewelry and accessories store; they're opening their first store on NJ soon. Soon here having the meaning of November 1, and they don't get the store til Oct. 18th, so no immediate monies for yours truly, and it's still just part-time. STILL. Income will be good!

Haaah. After an hour and a half of trying to figure out how to make the damn top hat, I decided to chuck it all and just buy one. Oh, look, there aren't any that even kind of resemble the one I want. *swears profusely*

Aha! Hat patterns! Cleverrrr me. Thank you, Lynn McMasters, for saving stupid people like me. I can definitely mess with this pattern to get what I want. *flop*
