2006-09-23 * Sand Castles and Bathtub Bumpers

Last night I took Fall Dress 2.0 out to a party with Moondoggie. They had some of the most involved table centerpieces I've ever seen:

In the glass bowl with the shell there was a goldfish swimming around (or in the case of our table, lying unblinking on the sand at the bottom. Poor goldfish). There was a little candle in the sea urchin shell. Very creative, though overall not good for the involved wildlife.

The event was geared toward children, so there were rides, including bathtub bumper cars (I have never seen these before). Note that the people in them are very obviously *not* children:

I had fun, the dress had fun, and now I am inspired to make myself a black sheath with 3/4 sleeves for when it gets cooler. And out of something warm but machine washable, so I will be on the hunt. I'm thinking grey washable ultrasuede, perhaps?

We're off to Napa today, where Moondoggie will be participating in the ALS ride, and I will be volunteering (I have no idea how to actually help people with their bicycles, so hopefully I'll have a walkie talkie or someone who does know about patching tires with me). I don't know if I'll have time for craftiness, or get my act together to bring a portable project with me, but I will take pictures of how pretty it is up there!
