Halloween Masquerade!

Okay, so as you might imagine, this will be a pretty picture heavy post. Yes, I had to sew all day Friday, but I did finish both my costume and Mark's. The fabulous kistha was literally my saving grace for styling the wig. I don't know what I would have done had she not been there. She also did my make up. Which turned out AWESOME.

And note the new "costuming" LJ icon. Probably the only icon I will ever use here that is actually me, and I'm only using it now because with the make up, and wig, and mask, well, it could be anyone under there.

Whew!

Our cybersecurity at work somehow decided yuletide sign-ups were a "questionable site" and blocked them...sort of. They didn't block the main page, but they blocked when I tried to open up the list of fandoms already requested, and again when I tried to submit my sign-up, after over an hour of working on it. I didn't think it went through, but then I just got an e-mail confirming that it did, thank goodness. :)

I haven't done yuetide in...huh. I don't know that I've EVER done it. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to sign up this year, so I have. :D

Now that I have time for creative pursuits other than costuming, some new pretties in my stash that will be fun to play with:
