Welcome to Beginning of the End of the World

It's 2012! I hope you enjoyed ringing in the new year as much as we did.

Celebrating the beginning of the end of the world at our friends' party

The rapture came and went, so I'm not holding my breath for the Mayan doomsday, but I'll use any excuse to party in apocalyptic style.

We spent New Year's Day enjoying our second annual Zombie Movie Marathon.


Our 2012 line up:
10:00 AM - Night of the Living Dead (1968)
11:36 AM - Shaun of the Dead
  1:15 PM - Flight of the Living Dead
  2:49 PM - Fido
  4:22 PM - Zombieland
  5:50 PM - Return of the Living Dead
  7:21 PM - Evil Dead
  8:46 PM - Evil Dead II
10:10 PM - Evil Dead Army of Darkness
11:31 PM - REC 

We intended to start the Walking Dead at the very end, but by the time it hit 12:50 am we were too tired and called it a night.This year we went with less scary, mostly campy movies, although REC was pretty freaky. There were a few repeats from last year but we tried to switch it up. There really is no shortage of zombie movies to choose from!

Flash's Guardians of the Galaxy Birthday Party

Image
As Axel's birthday falls so close to Halloween, I was hoping to save a little sanity by working his Halloween costume into his party theme. He was really excited about his upcoming Rocket and Groot party, but, three-year-olds being the fickle creatures that they are, on the day of the party he insisted that he would be the Flash and nothing could convince him otherwise. Now that Axel is getting older he has strong opinions on things, like how his party should be, which can be a little challenging for me, but on the flip side he is able to help out with the preparations which is a lot of fun. This theme worked well for the skill levels of a preschooler since nebulas and starscapes don't need to be precise and actually look best a little messy. My little helper and I had a great time baking and decorating galaxy star sugar cookies and painting the photobooth backdrop. His pride in the projects was so heartwarming, I'm smiling just thinking of it.   We als

Meet Bertha

She's a beast. A 2000 Ford E-150, she's had a pretty rough life. She's been an airport shuttle bus and hauled countless lengths of hardwood for a flooring company. But life is about to get much better as she's now been tasked with taking us on an epic road trip. It'll be fun times like this and this

Superman Saga

I previously posted that Chris and I were making Superman costumes for Burning Man. In honour of the Metropolis theme, a world record breaking gathering of people dressed as Superman was scheduled for noon on Burn Day and we didn't want to miss out on the fun. On top of our own costumes, I was making S shield patches to give out to anyone who may have forgotten their superhero outfits at home. Unfortunately, I didn't buy the iron-on interfacing for the patches (and read the instructions) until I had already traced and cut out a couple dozen red logos . Only afterwards did I realize that it would be much easier to iron the interfacing to the red fabric before cutting it all out. So I started over. Luckily I had plenty of free red t-shirts to use and many many hours of riding in Bertha to spend cutting. I ironed the red shields onto a $2 yellow sheet in our hotel room in Reno and then added another layer of interfacing so the patches could be ironed onto shirts. Since
