Pumpkin Pickin' (old), FSU victory, and stitch and bitch!.. w00t w00t

We beat FSU this past weekend in football.. what sweet revenge for the Sugar bowl loss in 2000! I had 7 (rowdy)guests come down from all over Virginia and Maryland.. It was quite fun! The above photo is of me and John, who is my bestest friend :)

I love this one of me on the 20 yard line... Yes, I rushed the field after the victory ;)

It was really good seeing my hokie brothers and sisters recovered from the events of April 16th..

My first stitch and bitch went really well! I had 5 guests! I hope more girls come out to the one this Sunday.... for details, check out my facebook page!

Now for a post I meant to put up awhile ago, but forgot.....

I neglected to post photos of Me and Merc's pumpkin patch visit.. So here they are! The one above shows the dye job I got for halloween.. before it faded :(

This one is my favorite... Mercury loves donkeys and other members of the equine family.. There is a donkey that lives up the road from my parents whom Mercury visits on a regular basis. He barks at the donkey, who brays back in return..

Is this not precious?

My VT hokie afghan & party photos

I took a photo of how the blanket is coming along. I blocked most of the pieces last night. Tonight I am blocking the center square (which is actually 4 small squares).


Tonight in ceramics I threw two substandard pots :( In my defense, I am recovering from the flu... but it still makes me depressed. .. it makes me feel like I've gone two steps back.. in comparison with the pot I threw two weeks ago. I guess I need to keep working at it! I will post a few pictures of my completed works next week. I glazed a couple cute things tonight... hopefully they will turn out OK after being run through the kiln..

I decided to post a few pictures from the party (to cheer me up). Here you are!
Here's a shot from under our carport. Hunter made a spooky spider web! My mom loaned me a freaky witch to hang on it. We strung spider eggs throughout it and hung little lit pumpkins on the web. It wasn't really what I had in mind, but I'm just glad that Hunter actually decorated something.

Here's a shot of Molly (a panther) and Ryan (David Bowie aka Ziggy Stardust)


The second is of Jason (Tiger Woods), Christyne (not yet in costume), Ziggy, and Me!


Zach (Carl from Aqua Teen), a KT bug, Ziggy, and I on my bed

Me (notice the pinkish hair? It took 2 1/2 hours at the stylist to achieve and most of it faded by Halloween :( ), Molly, and Kate (a character from Nighmare before Christmas)

I wish I took more pictures of the decor of our home.. We did some cute things in the kitchen.. and we made some great apertifs and spooky treats!

We made baba ganoush (eggplant hummus.. delicious!), lentil dip, and cupcakes with creepy frosted/candy designs on them. They were devoured before I could get a photo!!

That's all for now!
