Chewbacca! What a Wookiee!

Hello!
It took me a few to wake up this morning. I stayed up waaaaay too late last night.
COFFEE.
I'm sitting here with my son watching Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back because he is obsessed with Chewbacca. And this old Wicket W. Warrick shirt that used to be my brother's:

It's not the best quality photo, but I couldn't get him to stand still

I need to utilize anything I can to distract him so I can make stuff because HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS I GOT INTO THE FALL HORSESHOE MARKET!! YAY!!
I am most likely going to participate in the Bogeyman Art Show at the MacSpa so I am, yet again, going to be a busy little monkey in October. And September. And right now.
But I am excited! Come join me on October 4th for some crafty/nerdy awesomeness!
That also means that I will try to find the easiest Halloween costume I can this year. I already have an idea what I want to do for Sam, but mine might be kind of lame. Good thing I only have one kid...
My friend Deyanna (check out this article about her in the Westword) is currently showing art work by her and her friends (including me) at Wonderland Brewery. This month's theme is Wild Flowers, so I submitted this cross stitch I did of a picture I took at my cabin:

Purty!
My nephew is obsessed with Plants VS Zombies 2, so I made him an Iceberg Lettuce for his birthday. Shhh! It's a surprise!

 Anyway, that's about all that's going on with me right now. We did just get back from spending the night at my family's cabin and Sam got to see some horses. There's also something upstairs that he refers as "the scary;" he refuses to sleep in that room but he'll go in there, wave and say "Hi scary!" Weird kid.

So, I suppose I better get back to work.

Wish me luck!

My husband is concerned about the privacy of our houseplants and washing machine

Bummer, didn't get into the Horseshoe Market. But I'm on the waiting list, so if anyone flakes out or gets eaten by a tiger, I'm there.
Sigh.
So, how is your Spring going?
Ours already feels like Summer. We had two grandmas' birthdays and two BBQs to go to last weekend. In two days. I am tired and being extra lazy today. I should probably whip out some pumpkinheads or felty barrettes or something but all I want to do is take a nap. Getting all my stuff out to work and trying to divert a two year old's attention from the shiny scissors and colorful felt/yarn seems like too much effort.
I should also be checking our bank account and paying some bills. We had our bay window redone and it might as well be a car payment for how expensive it is.

This window sucked. It was so old, we couldn't open it (there was no screen anyway) and you could just feel cold air flowing in in the winter even though the windows were shut

Hopefully Sam can get a scholarship because this is where his college fund went. Just kidding, we can't afford this window let alone a college fund

If only there was some kind of booth I could rent and sell my stuff to make money...sigh.

Anyway, we have been having fun in all this craziness. Here are just a few highlights of our Spring:

Sam's first haircut

Skeletor and kitty became friends fur-ever (thanks for that one, Deyanna)

My offspring turned two (holy crapballs!) and had a kitty, star and cookie birthday party

Made more crocheted curtains because the husband is paranoid that the neigbors are spying on our houseplants and washing machine and wanted them to have some privacy

Henry - we played with this little guy at one of the many BBQs

We participated in a Shakespearean-inspired Murder Mystery with these awesome people

I made Lizzy Borden zombies dolls for two awesome ladies who just retired

Husband and I got free beaded jewelry classes on Craftsy and have been making pretties

Gus the dog is cute

Been watching Game of Thrones (a.k.a. Nerd Night) with family almost every Sunday. This cute little guy is also named Gus

Also, my son is obsessed with the show Paw Patrol and Star Wars Angry Birds. I don't have a picture of that. Just thought you'd like to know.
Anyway, I'm sure there is more but you probably don't care so I won't bore you.
I should probably do something productive today, besides playing on the computer.
Maybe after I take a nap.
Goodnight!

New stuff

So I am going to try to get in to the Horseshoe Market in Denver this summer. Here are some of the things I will have in stock:

My zombie dolls, of course

Gentleman Specter

Tentacle Monster

Pumpkinhead

Voodoo Doll Pin Cushion

Zombie Head Keychains

I plan on making a bunch of new stuff, too!

Such as:

Crocheted barrettes, scrubby washcloths, and animal ear headbands

 

Crocheted rings, more scrubby washcloths, bracelets, earrings, etc.

I have a lot more ideas, so I will keep updating. Keep your fingers crossed that I can get in!
My son's 2nd birthday is tomorrow, so I will be busy preparing for his party, but will post pictures when I can.
Yay!!
