12 of 12 - June

This month's 12 of 12 is a little half-assed, as I forgot it was the 12th until well into the afternoon. *blush* It was a boring, rainy Saturday, where we sat in watching movies while I worked on some sewing.

2:30 pm, living room
Today I introduced The Boy to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. he approved.

2:35 pm, living room
This is Timmy. I am sewing him a Jedi costume. For real. Thinkgeek.com put out a request to crafty people, asking to make their mascot, Timmy, some costumes to wear to ComicCon this summer. I volunteered to make his Jedi costume, which includes pants, tunic, robe, and light saber. They even sent me a Timmy-clone so that I could be sure to make the right size. It's harder to make clothes for a monkey than you might think. I'm almost done now, though. Just have to hem the robe. And figure out how he will hold the light saber.

2:38 pm, living room.
I don't understand how it's possible, but I don't have any hook-and-eyes in my ginormous collection of sewing and craft supplies. I need one for Timmy's robe. So I'm stealing one off a bra.

2:45 pm, living room
The single hyacinth that I got from forcing bulbs. It's seen better days.

3:00 pm, living room
Today's coffee cup

3:45 pm, living room
I wasn't happy with the hood, so I've taken it apart to reconstruct it.

5:15 pm, front door
This is one of my shopping bags that I've been knitting. I <3 them.
8:20 pm, bedroom
Kitty is napping. Don't be alarmed by that shiny object near her tail. That's just her gun.

9:00 pm, living room
Ok, NOW the robe is done, except for the hem.

9:10 pm, living room
This yarn will be another shopping bag. This one's not for me, it's for my friend Lou.

11:48 pm, bedroom
"Come to bed, mommy."

Aww, I love Timmy's Jedi outfit, it's awesome! Quite a talent you've got there :D

(I was horrendously late putting my 12 of 12 up, but they are now. I held off on commenting so that people knew when I left a comment, my own was up – the only way I could think of to let people know when I posted!)
