Whee! This past Friday I went to my first ever auto show! I got to sit in a lot of fancy schmancy cars, too! Here are a few highlights. Lots more pics on Flickr. 
Ah, the mature adults we are…
Me in an H2 Hummer…
Dickson and me in a Saab 9-3 Convertible…
Ferrari 599 GTB
Mini Cooper S…
Me and some crazy Ford F-350 SuperDuty
BMW M3 Sedan
Chevy Camaro Concept…almost like Bumblebee!!
Okay, okay, I couldn’t help myself. When Sew Mama Sew posted Julie’s Chocolate Felt Donut tutorial, it was just too good to pass up. So instead of doing “productive gift sewing”, I made 4 felt donuts. What flavors you ask?
Chocolate Icing + Sprinkles
Glaze + Sprinkles
Maple
Chocolate + Strawberry Icing + Sprinkles
Yummmmm.
Aside from the fact I have to hide these every time Paisley comes into the room, they’re great! I guess I could make some cat-safe versions and skip the super shiny unrealistic sprinkles, but do I really need more donuts? 
I might have gone a bit crazy with the sprinkles, too…
They were SUPER easy to make. The most difficult part being sewing the hole. I guess I’m just bad at it…but felt is VERY forgiving, so it worked out. I’m glad they turned out circular and not like…elliptical or even worse–square shaped!
Paisley says hello.
Actually, earlier, she was incredibly hyper and rolling around kicking and meowing for unknown reasons. I Finally got her to settle down in her Amazon box. All is quiet again.
Sneak peak at part of my swap with Cousin:
Update: Since Cousin told me she got the package, I can post the pictures I took now!
The bag is made from Lisa’s tutorial at U-Handbag. I found the awesome alien fabric at Joann’s.
I put in an extra zipper compartment using Lisa’s zipper tutorial, too. I skipped the bagfeet because 1) I couldn’t find any locally, and 2) I was lazy. But, I used some embroidery thread to hold the bag bottom down (see the sneak peak photo above) and it worked out nicely.
Here’s a pic of the bag open…you can see the cool lining fabric, the cool yarn, and the cool zipper compartment with the “matching” blue zipper…
There’s a few more photos on my flickr page…
Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!
Dickson and I spent the evening carving our pumpkins and answering the door. My favorite trick-o-treater was this little boy dressed up as Mater from Disney’s Cars.
We also over baked our pumpkin seeds…AGAIN…but, they’re pretty good, has a nice smokey flavor heehee.
More photos of our evening here.
Here you'll read about my exciting traveling (near and far) adventures, my sewing, and occasionally a random nerdy thought. Sometimes my cats make special appearances as well. I also post a lot more photos on my Flickr so feel free to mosey over there to check out my life in bright vibrant colors.
