Continued Geeking

Officially gone crazy.  I convinced Natasha to take me to the craft store the other day.  It was dangerous.  I was looking at everything with a new perspective.  I ogled the dollhouse miniatures and ended up with little books and mini pencils in my basket.  I looked at the sewing stuff, and came out with more scrap cloth, felt, yarn, my own sewing kit (so I'm not always stealing Tasha's), Velcro, little buttons, and thin elastic.  Finally I let Natasha look at the places she wanted to check out.  It could have been worse at the register, but I really need to stop buying stuff.  The little boy isn't even here yet!

We went to Walmart afterwards, to get groceries, but I detoured to the sewing area there for some things we couldn't find at the craft store.  You'd think it would be the other way around.  Well, I wasn't finding anything when Natasha brought up how I had wanted a mini easel for my doll, because I wanted him to have an artistic personality.  I told her we wouldn't find something like that at Walmart.  Next thing I know, she's found them.  Mini easels next to paints and canvases.  Couldn't believe my eyes.

So now I have a hundred more projects zooming through my brain.  I found little pumpkin patterns and decided to make a pumpkin costume for Lime.  Here's the progress so far.

Yes, his eyes are different sizes.  I did that on purpose.  His crooked grin was a happy accident.

But, if he doesn't want to be a pumpkin, I have a hat made for a potential Robin Hood/Peter Pan costume.

Or even Totoro!  Don't have the pictures of that hat yet.  But they are cute.  And I am obsessed.
