For Halloween I dressed up as Alice [from Wonderland].

Not the best picture, but whatever. I found the dress at a thrift store and dyed it blue. I couldn't find a plain white apron, and I know it would have been super simple to make myself, but I just got one. It had some writing on it, so I wore it backwards, but you could still read the text. So I sewed on a pocket hehe. and added lace to the bottom while I was at it. It was cold so I had to wear a shirt underneith. I also wanted to have a crinolin (??) to make the dress all puffy, but the cheapest I could find [a used] one was $30! So instead I just wore 3 of my pouffiest skirts underneith it!

Here is my not-so-crafty friend dressed as a dice. A lot of people asked what he was hahaha.

Now for a completely different topic......

While on my search for scholarships I found a rather interesting one. I'm not sure how many people in the community will benefit from this, though. Anyone in their graduating year of high school [in either America or Canada] who is planning on attending post secondary education is eligible. No essay writing, nope, you don't have to be a brainer for this one. In fact it is an advantage to you crafty types. All you have to do is construct a prom dress out of duct tape and send in a picture. The first place couple wins $2,500 each and their school gets $2,500. There are 2nd and 3rd prizes as well. More details are provided at the link below. The only bummer is you have to be a couple to qualify. That leaves me stuck with begging some guy friends of mine to be in on this.
