On Nnenna's Needles #3 + A Special Guest

Hello Everyone,

Please meet my very good friend, Ms. Moebius Cowl.

Moebius Cowl

Her job is of the utmost importance.  She keeps my neck, and sometimes my ears, warm and toasty, so as to prevent these crucial body parts from falling off in the brutal cold.  She has been my especial friend ever since I was reminded of winter's true force with the snowstorm last week....

Today, she made a new friend, Ms. Penny Pouch, sent by the lovely Cait of Kitty Cait.

gift from Kitty Cait for Pay It Forward 2011

Ms. Moebius Cowl met Ms. Penny Pouch in the Post Office and liked her from the moment she emerged from her packaging.  They are so delighted that they can keep each other company every day in Ms. Nnenna's purse!  Not to mention that Ms. Penny Pouch came with some a lovely note :)

Ms. Nnenna and Ms. Moebius Cowl would like to give a big thank you and hug to Cait because they love their new little friend! :D  Also, you should check out Cait's etsy shop because she has many pretty things and maybe you too can make a new friend!

P.S. I am not crazy or anything, just felt like writing this post a little differently today.  Hehe, hope you like!

never too late to play dress up

Finally, the Halloween pictures that I've been promising!  For the first night of Halloweekend, I quickly threw together a costume because I didn't want to bust out my real one yet, and I went as Piglet.  For the rest of Halloweekend, I was a tightrope walker.  Along with my roommates, we all formed a very small band of circus performers.  Our motto was, "Small band, big talent!" We created this whole backstory to go along with our costumes (can you tell we were really into it? haha)  One roommate was a clown and the other was the ringmaster.  The story was that the ringmaster had fired the clown, so she was really dejected and depressed, and maybe even a little crazy!  Also, as friends of both characters, I was caught in the middle and hanging in the balance (haha, get it?)  Anyway, with that in mind, I hope you enjoy these pictures!  Does anybody else have a good story behind their costume?

Tigger and I are BFFs!

in my room, preparing to leave for the night

even though I'm this super-crowded room, I'm obviously mentally somewhere else
I can't remember exactly what I was thinking...probably dreaming up my next costume :D

sneak peek

Here's a sneak peek of what the skirt for my Halloween costume is going to look like!  Now I have all the elements, I just have to assemble them (yay Joann's!).  This is going to involve some sewing, which I'm no expert at, so wish me luck!
