Voting via email is pretty cool, but you don’t get a sticker from the polling place.

Good grief. If I was standing next to the accountant, we’d look like Jess and CeCe from New Girl. And spoiler – I’m not the CeCe.

Woo! Won office prize for Best Dressed Female. WINE! #winning http://t.co/qfVwdlHD

---

I did not win the sweeps. Hopefully this is because the universe intends me to win the Lotto tonight.

---

Just remembered why I always associate US election results with a hangover. #MelbourneCup

---

@mattgemmell Not judging by my Facebook wall. I went to high school with a lot of people who tend to vote against their best interests.

@randomknits I had one. Love the idea of it, but had it removed after 6 months. Didn’t work as well for me as my Depo.

---

@nolim1t I suspect you cheated on that one, Barry. 🙂

@webblastsyd You still need any sponsors for summer #webblastSyd? My company @Sitback might be interested!

---

@drkknits Have you ever seen Community? A couple AD actors have cameos in it (including Buster). Also, it’s HILARIOUS.

---

@drkknits Community takes a few eps to hit its stride. Lots of crazy movie homages, weird genre pieces, etc. Kinda geeky.

---

@drkknits Yeah, it’s the setup so fairly conventional. Give it some time. Also, New Girl is my new fave sitcom. Loving it.

---

@drkknits My mom got Joey a little black dog. They named it Theodore Roosevelt Garberick. Rodd started singing”It Ain’t Easy Bein’ White.”

---

@drkknits We actually did suggest Franklin to them. As I said, it was a black dog. 🙂

---

Today I sewed little plastic horses onto a giant flower that I plan to wear on my head tomorrow. Seriously. http://t.co/Lli8V33G

---

I have to say, standing in front of the picked-over rack of cheapass fascinators at Lincraft on the day before Melbourne Cup is depressing.

---

@pixel8ted Yikes. Did you at least win?

---

@FortWayneDaily @MiscMarci My Aunt back home in Indiana just sent me the link on Facebook. Very sad for his family. He was a great guy!

@drkknits But, but, Halloween is all commercial & offensive & American! Now I’m going to go drink my face off and gamble like a good Aussie.

#sewvember day 6: the Hazel dress I finished last night and a giant horse flower for Melbourne Cup! http://t.co/qgYEYDXq

---

And in case you’re wondering, I’m wearing the giant horse flower on my head ON THE BUS right now. An old dude smiled at me. 🙂

---

@AndyVo20 Thanks! Fourth one I’ve sewn, and second of this pattern. I’m getting better…

---

@AndyVo20 Nah. Just an idea I had with some friends. Most of us are aiming for one thing a week.

---

Emailed my vote last night for the election. I hope Mourdock suffers crushing defeat so I can tell him he should see it as a gift from God.

---

Arrested Development reference in the SMH! Paging @drkknits… http://t.co/x0mv0JpM

@redambition Curly red hair! Oh, how I wish it were mine. Very pretty. 🙂

---

@crumpet Ooh, I like it! Need to do more thrifting in my sewing…

---

Forgot to mention: I paid my Guild renewal via PayPal last night. THIS IS THE FUTURE, PEOPLE. Exec is testing it now. Live very soon!

---

@randomknits Very pretty! I am so envious of your easy access to such beautiful fabrics. 🙂

---

Just suggested we form a syndicate for tonight’s Lotto drawing. Enthusiastic reception from staff. MORE MONEY TO LOSE, YAY!

The eternal debate: do I pick my horse to back based on the punniest name? Or the one where the jockey has the prettiest colours?

@AndyVo20 @pixel8ted Fantastic game, eh? I’m hoarse from yelling in my living room. Wish the NBC stream didn’t suck so much!

Holy shit. I sewed myself a fully lined Hazel dress! Not perfect, but definitely wearable. Just need to hem… #sewvember http://t.co/6SCgmuOG

---

@knitdra Yay for finished dresses!

---

@kateslemay It’s the fabric. It’s a border print along one edge!

---

@knitdra @randomknits Mine’s for Melbourne Cup! But I still need a hat…

---

Back is worse. Self-medicated with wine and episodes of Community.

---

@devvyleys Too late! Kris and Snookums in the morrrrrrning!

---

@venks79 Wow, great run!

---

@randomknits Beautiful! I think the design suits you better than me.

---

#sewvember paralysis. Need to make my Hazel smaller on top but bigger on bottom. They join with gathers. Can I just do that?

---

@randomknits So just don’t worry about it? The gathers will take care of everything? Just wondered if I should angle in top of skirt.

---

@pixel8ted They don’t align though; it’s gathered so you can force it to align. Just wondering if it will be too full with extra width.

---

2nd #sewvember question: should I line the Hazel? Fabric is kinda sheer. Make full dress and hang inside out? Or is it trickier than that?

---

@pixel8ted I’m mostly asking those who have already made it if it’ll be bulky. @randomknits thinks I should just go for it, so I will.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes You might be right. I don’t even know where to buy one! Suggestions?

---

We hung our new art today. Suddenly our place feels very grown up! Thanks artbuds! http://t.co/THHCWagG

Day 3 of #sewvember: finished 1st motif of quilt! Also started cutting dress… http://t.co/GiPYMWr9

---

Thanks for all the lining advice. Decided to make dress up to point of attaching facings and then decide! Also, border prints = MEGA FUN.

---

Crap. Appears cutting my fabric last night re-injured my lower back. Bugger.

---

OHMYGOD NOTRE DAME HAS TIED IT UP! SCREAMING IN CHIPPENDALE. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR MY INJURED BACK, BUT NEVERTHELESS: JIG TIME.

---

HOW DID PITT MISS THAT? I AM HAVING A HEART ATTACK.
