Catching Up Part 1/New year, new beginnings

I know I'm about a month late, but happy 2015! I finally got around to coming back here and I'll admit, I kinda miss my little corner on the interwebz, and I know I left some people in the dark for awhile as to what I've been up to, so I'm gonna try to come back in a more "committed" manner... hopefully. *crosses fingers*

Where do I even start?

Ah, right. Halloween 2014. My costume didn't turn out as grand as I'd like it to be for a couple of reasons: a) time constraint/procrastination, and b) the dreaded weather (AKA it was raining). Had these two not been the case, my ideal scenario would be getting a co-worker to roll me into the workplace with my homemade Sugar Rush "racing cart"... Yes ladies and gentleman, I dressed up as Vanellope Von Schweetz from Wreck-It-Ralph:

I'm pretty much dressing up as myself for Halloween... kidding :P

For the most part, my costume itself was about maybe 80% on point. Fabric painting my stockings took longer than I expected (that's what I get for being a perfectionist), and I struggled to get as much candy-glued-bobby-pins in my fine hair as I could. But you know what, I still enjoyed making this costume, especially since I was trying to juggle with getting a booklet for a non-profit organization done.

And here are just a sample of the candy hair pins I made...

**As much as I find glue guns convenient, I definitely should've used E-600 instead... would've made the polymer clay candy hold up on the bobby pins much more, but then again, I guess I can re-use those bobby pins now without the comical props attached to it?

So I never got to finish my grand ideals of a personal Sugar Rush cart, and the wagon I bought is still sitting in the spare room of my house, sadly. Maybe come summer, I should collaborate with a friend and sell that wagon for a yard sale? Sounds legit.

Until next time...
