One Week to Halloween 2016

So this week is all about getting ready for next Monday. I have to finish Caroline’s costume which she is helping me with. And secret Project number 3, which needs to be done by the next day. Caroline’s costume has to be done by Friday for the dance so I have the weekend for that but not really since I am also getting the comics together for our give away.

Jets and Giants won and the Falcons yet again got screwed by the Refs and lost. The officiating this year had been miserable. The number of calls that aren’t being made are almost as bad as the calls that are being made. I know we have new rules and new protocols in place but can we all get on the same page as to how these rules work?

Today I am picking Peter up at the airport and bringing him home. Then working on the costume that Caroline and I will continue to work on as a chunk of it is going to be paper that needs to be cut. I have to make pattern pieces to trace before cutting. Makes me wish I still had access to the Center for Puppetry arts very old but mighty band saw that we used to cut paper for the make your own puppet classes.

Tomorrow will be the next installment of Drawlloween which has been going OK. I have had some excellent ideas but my execution of those ideas has not been great which is not putting me in a happy place but I said I would do it so I will.

I am grateful for skills I have learned over the years that put me in a good place to complete this costume.
