Sunday!

Happy belated Halloween!  I usually go all out on Halloween - crazy costume and lots of decorations, but this year, things have been really busy so Halloween snuck up on me with no warning.  I did manage to put up a few decorations and went to a party at the Museum of Natural Science, but Halloween this year was low-key.

Last night was super fun - went to a murder mystery dinner party set in the 1920's.  Great costumes, good food & drinks, and fun converstation - fantastic time.  Here's a pic of the cloche hat I turbo-knit in two days for the party.  I thought it turned out really cute, so I'll be wearing it all season.  Here's the pattern.  I used Cascade 220 - best yarn for felting in my opinion.

Did I mention I finished my first 5k run last weekend?  I did the Livestrong Challenge in Austin.  Overall, it was a great first run, even though I was pretty slow at about a 13 min mile, but hey, I did it.  I'm already signed up for two more 5ks between now and February, so I'm excited about kicking it up and getting faster.  I really love running.  Yes, it's really really hard, but I feel so great after I run.  I feel energized and happy, and definitely powerful.  It's a good thing.  I think it's starting to become an addiction.
