I was online Christmas shopping tonight and ended up buying myself the above Mr. Rogers t-shirt instead. Whoops. I did manage to get something for Tom though which is miraculous because he is the hardest person to buy for ever.
The new Uniqlo opened up down the street today and I went down to see what it was like. The store was massive, and has men’s, women’s, and children’s clothes which is awesome. There was so much nice stuff and I love how they don’t have a billion different style in a few colours, but instead have a select amount of classic styles in a lot of colours. I was gravitating to the cashmere v-necks, and merino wool sweaters because they are great wardrobe staples (and affordable there) and I would love to have one or two of each. I walked around the store for a bit with one of each in my hands but honestly the line-up was way too long so I just put everything back. I’ll go back maybe the middle of next week when it’s calmed down a bit. I really wanted to break from my usual and get some nice, bright colours but ended up with black and grey in my hands (surprise, surprise). I think a nice green, burgundy, or yellow would be nice to have too though…..you know, after the black and grey 😉
I’ve included a picture of the girls on Halloween at the bottom of the post in case you missed it. Have a great weekend!

Is sewing finger a real affliction? Ever since I had to hand stitch a big part of Roo’s witch hat, the side of my right index finger has been sore. For the past couple of days it has got worse instead of better and now it’s red, slightly swollen, and looks like it might be infected. This is the area that I was using to push the needle through, and I really should have used a thimble. Thankfully I finished them tonight.
Have a great weekend!

I completely forgot that A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness was turned in to a tv show, so I get an event filled evening of catching up on the episodes. Yep, my Friday nights are pretty exciting 😉
Tom bought some early Halloween candy to have around the house and I keep finding it in hidden spots because Merle is stashing it everywhere to hoard it. Little does she know that I steal some of it every time I find it and put it in my own little stash.
I have a fun-filled weekend of finishing the Halloween costumes. Attempt 2 of the witch hat is already looking a million times better and it’s only 1/6 done. I’m hoping that the rest of the outfits goes just as smoothly. I actually managed to get this post done early this afternoon to start sewing. I’ve never had one done that far in advance before posting. And I am sadly not joking. #progress

I’m searching through Netflix and a trailer appears at the top of the page and sucks me right in. I’m like, “Is this a baking show? Is it a weird comedy? I have to know.” Needless to say it sucked me in to the complete weirdness that is The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell.
After the ridiculously hot summer temperatures from the first half of the week, it totally plummeted today. All the windows are wide and we are dressed in layers. I kind of wish we had a fire-place because this is totally the weather for it. I’m looking forward to having this simmering on the stove all day.
As you can see from my finds this weeks that I am loving that we are back in to coat season. There are so many good ones rights now.

Every time I go on to the Target website I get even more upset that they closed down in Canada. There is so much great stuff……there always has been, but it seems like they are getting better and better styles and brands. When I was scrolling through the pages I saw that they have some completely awesome band tees for kids, and if I had access I would by them all.
It’s Thanksgiving weekend here and I can’t believe we have already reached that part of the holiday season. I think dinner is going to be short ribs thanks to a very generous fellow instagrammer. She emailed me some recipes that look amazing and not super time intensive which is one of the main things that I hate about holiday cooking.
I also think that I am going to work on the Halloween costumes over the next few days just in case I run into issues and need to make some changes. Does anyone know where to find a pattern online for the medieval/elf style shoes that go up at the toe? Bonus points if it is in an easy to sew pattern 😉
