Girly stuff in a boy's world

I'm living in a testosterone world today. Actually, with a husband and four sons, that's every day...but today more than most. As just about any teenaged boy in America could tell you, today was the day that "Halo 3" was released. My son Nick has been anticipating this for almost a year. I reserved a copy for him back in November. We've had a countdown clock on my desktop, and all I have been hearing is "you won't forget to pick it up, will you"? I went to get it after work. Geesh, the thing came in this huge box with a lifesize replica of "Master Chief's" helmet.

Nicky has liked Halo from day one, and even dressed up as Master Chief for Halloween a few years back. That was an interesting costume to make! (We left out the helmet, thank goodness. I'm not that talented, LOL!)


So, anyway, I needed a touch of girliness today and worked on one of my 17,000 projects. Here is a shot of the collar of a little pair of PJs I'm making...

I understand. My son and son-n-law stood in line at 1 am to get their copy. And men call us crazy for shopping after Thanksgiving?

Yup, people stood in line for hours and hours, in pouring rain, to get it!
Looks pretty cool I must say...

Have a sweet weekend!

So sweet! My goodness...I have such grand intentions...and yet I have SO many work in progresses just HANGING out until 'someday'. OR worse, great IDEAS and PLANS but none that have actually been STARTED! Great job!
