BRAIN is thinking HALLOWEEEEEEEN...

First, I thought I'd be a Christmas present for Halloween. Then, I thought I'd be a black cat(Gators mom) for Halloween. Next, I changed my costume to a dead bride. As you can tell, I just couldn't settle on an idea. Until..DUN...DUN...DUN... I saw a funny picture of my 3 year old self painted like a clown at the puyallup fair. Kristina laughed and said "YOU ARE SO WEIRD. Any other 3 year old girl would pick a cat, a princess, a rainbow...but here's Melissa saying 'I want to be a clown!'" With that being said, a clown I will be!

Today, Kristina and I will be making our costumes(she is strawberry shortcake)! Although, I have purchased my costumes a few times in the past, I much prefer this approach. Here are some lovely Etsy-ers that have a creative costume mind as well! Let me just say that if I wasn't making my costume, I would be buying one of these.

Music to my ears, eyes, heart

And just about every part.

Listen to:
Langhorne Slim

Let's just say: My grass is BLUE.





I discovered this darling man over the past couple days. I simply adore everything about the person. Also, realized that by passing up on the pickathon fest. a couple months ago I also passed up a chance to see him! Now, quite pleased with my recent new love, I'm counting the days until a live dancie DANCE dance session!

A dress a day...

Keeps the therapist away.


This little number is my latest creation. It turned out just how I dreamed it!

Time to get started on my costume!

What a busy little bee...

IS ME!!

Here are some dresses I have been making over the last couple of weeks. Kiari did a cute little shoot with me today. I should be uploading them onto my shop tomorrow and will continue to keep that project up now that Summer has left me once again. *SIGH* Time to stay inside and try and keep motivated...mostly by music and coffee. Cheers to the chilly Seattle weather!
