I have been so busy, I've totally neglected blogging. Halloween is 11 days away (with only two days off for me, and on both of my weekend days coming up, I have appointments) and I am starting to zero in on finishing the jazz bat as time runs out. I had to abandon the Pizza Rat costume- I just didn't have time, and wanted to spend the money it would take on embellishments for the bat costume.

Today, I finished the basic parts of the hat and cape, leaving only detail work left. It's been a bear trying to gather materials semi-last minute. I thought I'd be able to go to goodwill and find a giant stretch velvet dress to use as hat and belt material, seeing as I don't think I've ever set foot in a goodwill without seeing a giant stretch velvet dress, but they had nothing. Not even the giant stretch velvet pants I also always see. I ended up having to get a smaller skirt (I scoured the store and only found two things that were stretch velvet, and one didn't have a price tag), so I'm unable to make the belt the way I originally planned. It also seems that no one within reasonable busing distance carries regular silver sequins. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.
