I took some pictures of the before for the blog but the pictures of the after won't be posted til everything is ready to be hung! No spoilers! But Halloween is only 10 days away so it's not long now--soon enough you'll be able to peek them on my Instagram and Twitter.
Mooshby is ready to be a vampire and we have most of her costume ready but are still working on a few final touches. Same goes with mine....buuuuut the other day we picked up a fucking PIPBOY and I am so excited! It was super big, like it could only fit my bicep....so there's a mental image for all of you. My bicep is about the normal diameter of a male's forearm. I'll just let you drink that up a moment......okay moving on. Now that we all know that I am possibly a tiny person living in a tiny home (that is exactly what I am)....pressing forward!
While my husband was off washing our month's worth of laundry that I like to nickname Mount Laundromore--I broke my fucking SD card for my very expensive camera. That was really shitty. My husband ran all the way home and helped me. That was really nice. My knight in shining armor coming through for me again. That being said, my SD card was ruined but I didn't lose anything and the very expensive camera remains in tact, so WIN. Another chivalrous thing he did for me was, he surrendered his personal phone SD for me to be able to for the moment be able to work my beloved pride and joy (yes my camera, fuck off, I love it that much).
With that nonsense over I was able to move on with my day so let me tell you what we're up to. Other then folding and putting away a massive pile of laundry and making all of our beds....adulting amirite?
Well we went deep here folks. We went into the back room pulled out our craft drawer and we are delving into it as much as we can. Here we come crafting. We prefer to make our own decorations. They don't always hold over all year long (yeah we're Halloween people they stay up LONG after the holidays), but that is why we are always able to make more. Just need a little imagination and some construction paper and glue and you are half way there. I know I know, in a generation that is so LAZY and tech fed this can be a little time consuming and "boring" this blog isn't for you. Get outta here. Where are the mommys at? The daddys? The kids at heart forever. Here is where you should be.For those of you who are new here I used to own a small handmade jewelry store on Etsy but it hasn't been set up in a while. I may eventually dig into that again if anyone would be interested in what I might have to offer. Satan knows I need the boost. My poor husband.
Anyhow, if you're wondering what we have to work with there is A LOT here. Wire, hemp, yarn, burlap, pieces of cloth, paint, beads of all shape size and material, buttons....clasps, pins, stoppers, you name it. We Have construction paper, a hot glue gun, a glue stick, and PLENTY of determination. My daughter's room is decorated already for the holiday ladies and gents, as I mentioned in a previous blog, so that means this is for the rest of the house and then all we have is the outside porch. The outside porch needs something a little more durable than paper, but we plan on going on a budget and getting some lanterns to light it up, maybe some more webbing to get the kiddies attention but sadly Halloween has been getting less and less hype every year. Not cool. I know a bunch of yall love Halloween, where the fuck are yall? Get these religious weirdos who hate it out of my town, or bring me to a place with a bunch of MY people.

Now that my husband and I got the Pipboy to fit me properly (and anyone really gosh its so comfy!), we're going to start detailing the costume I bought. It's a mechanic suit, but with the right colors and some nimble sewing...we can make this work (yes we're hand stitching! We do not have a sewing machine these days). I wanted to give you guys a sneak peek of what's to come because I'm not posting this bad boy til its on me the night of. Of course I'll be rocking a nerf gun as a plasma blaster, and a pair of kickin combats (because I always rock them) to tie everything together so I cannot wait to show you.
Speaking of sneak peeks here's a little something I thought I would show you guys. I can't say a whole lot about it other than my husband and I are working on something currently that we plan on sharing with Palaye Royale and the Royal Council (though I am still learning how to spell that because I have seen it a few different ways now). Very few people are in on this particular project, though I am also currently working on another for my band wall which is featured in most of our videos and streams but that is also hush hush. So, stay tuned or you will miss out!
Alright guys, I love you. Plenty to do, and so little time, so stay tight! be real! BE YOU!
