Decision! I will be making @ColettePatterns Hazel for Melbourne Cup next week. There’s nothing like a deadline… #sewvember

---

@drkknits Very nice!

---

@AusVintageGrrl @redambition Ah, thanks for the offer, but I can’t make it. Important Baking happening tonight!

---

Step 1 of Momofuku Crack Pie: Make a giant cookie. GIANT. http://t.co/4CBB0Ry0

---

Step 2 of Momofuku Crack Pie: Giant cookie has become biscuit base! http://t.co/qewE2rH2

---

@drkknits Interestingly, the recipes online don’t use that weird corn powder.

---

Final step of Momofuku Crack Pie: Fill and bake. Yum. @kunaal84’s farewell tomorrow is going to be fun! http://t.co/2UWNWeLI

---

Day 1 of #sewvember: used rotary cutter to make 214 white squares, destined to be hexagons. Then sewed some on quilt! http://t.co/STnQqHMi

---

@pixel8ted I had already done the central flower motif, so not quite as fast as it looked. 🙂

---

Got bored waiting for sausages to cook, so I had some cold Crack Pie. Holy moly.

---

@knitdra @drkknits If Sewing Thanksgiving happens, I could make another. (I needed 2T of milk powder. Snook bought me 1kg. I can make lots.)

---

Just watched chick on bus apply liquid liner & mascara without poking self in eye. Then driver hit brakes & makeup bag spilled EVERYWHERE.

---

RT @GirlEmpowerment: Deep Conversations With My Daughter http://t.co/UQy05inc // I hope my nieces learn this too! cc @carbolicious

---

@redambition She was like a Makeup Ninja up to that point. I was watching her in awe. Stupid bus driver.

---

@redambition I saw that discussion. This is a big reason why I’ve avoided vintage patterns. Too depressing!

---

@randomknits Very cute! I might need to borrow that pattern. 🙂

---

Today’s office playlists are all dedicated to @kunaal84. First up: the “My Best Friend’s Wedding” soundtrack. 🙂

---

#sewvember Day 2. Homemade Tova top. First time I’ve worn jeans in a month! http://t.co/OUiyE5pB

---

The lesson here is to never, ever put sample copy on a wireframe that isn’t Lorem ipsum. Not even for navigation items. #wireframe #hell

---

@Opheli8 Uh oh. You? No way.

---

@knitterjp @drkknits Every time I do an invisible zip, I refer to the Colette tutorial. Really good! http://t.co/6OaXUGqD

---

Many thanks to Fernando for bringing me a special Mexican lolly! http://t.co/s3vIvnB5

---

RT @xutraa: It begins #sewvember http://t.co/zEESDABo // Love it!

---

I blogged about #Sewvember, if you want to publicly commit to joining us! http://t.co/Vfdwb3B5 SEW ALL THE THINGS.

---

@grassisleena @xutraa I don’t think it’s any sort of “official” thing. So it’s up to us to define it! Sewvember is what you make of it…

---

@drkknits Is your pincushion a PEAR? Because that is TOTES ADORBZ.

---

@redambition I would be happy to take some fat quarters off your hands! Looking for saturated colours for my patchwork hexagon quilt. 🙂

---

@redambition Lightweight! I had like 30 to sift through. 😛

---

@redambition Ahh, nevermind then!

---

Frocktober #22. The very last one! A black wrap dress to wrap it up. http://t.co/dhvCMX2A

---

@drkknits Great job! Aren’t they fun?

---

@drkknits Mine never seem to go perfectly smoothly. You may have gotten some stitches too close to the coils? Otherwise c’est la vie.

---

@zephyrama What if they were cookies that she’d made? I’ve been bringing in treats for my office all week!

---

@zephyrama Party pooper. 😛

---

@drkknits I can never remember. Whenever I have a tension issue, I refer to this article: http://t.co/WjN5XM85

---

@drkknits But importantly, that dial only controls the top thread. For the bottom thread, there’s usually a screw on the bobbin case.

---

@zephyrama So when my Mexican friend offered me a Day of the Dead lolly today, I should’ve turned him down because it’s not my culture?

---

In addition to Halloween, I also celebrate Bastille Day, Robbie Burns Day, and pretty much any holiday that involves special food. Why not?

---

@indefensible Yes, definitely. (Spoken as one of the admittedly rare females who likes it when all the dudes look like Magnum PI.)

---

@twelveeyes Ooh, post photos!

---

@gilmae Unlike homemade pumpkin treats?

---

Heading home to hopefully meet trick-or-treaters! I get Freedom Points for every Aussie I convert to be an obese capitalist Yank, you know.

---

@gilmae But the marketroids will commercialise everything. Don’t throw the Zombie baby out with the bath water!

---

RT @shonias: In a country whose pop culture consists of about 60-80% US TV/music/movies, this antipathy for “American” Halloween is bizarre.

---

RT @shonias: If you’re not so into the lollies stuff, just enjoy the dress-ups, tell spooky stories – hell give out healthy snacks, but …

---

@AusVintageGrrl And involving fun with makeup doesn’t hurt either, I suspect! 🙂

---

Balloons on my front gate, mask on my face, lollies at the ready. Happy Halloween! http://t.co/BPYjU8aF

---

@pixel8ted @redambition I spoke to pro recently who said if I’m not planning on selling items, I don’t need one. Zigzag good enough for me!

---

@redambition @pixel8ted Some have an overcast, which sews seam and binds at the same time? But I just do plain zigzag on my edges.

---

I carved my jack-o-lantern! Still no trick or treaters tho. Candy is looking tempting… http://t.co/Dw8tXq3z

---

RT @pedestrienne: @The_Ausmerican Is there any hol in Australia that’s purely secular & all about kids having a good time? I think n …

---

@redambition @pixel8ted I saw @RoseRed_Shoes’s machine do it, but hers might be fancy!

---

Trick-or-treaters! It’s @kielmarlow and whenitrainsitpours. They’re grownups, so I gave them booze. http://t.co/2cfTJl2A

---

@aunty_toots @redambition @rosered_shoes @pixel8ted I’ve got one of those, actually! But my quilt is done with English paper piecing. 🙂

---

@redambition @manaboutnewtown We did that in the U.S., so I don’t think it’s specific to Australia!

---

@manaboutnewtown @redambition I spent a week in Mexico and we drank a lot of Coronas, but mostly because we were scared of the water.

---

@manaboutnewtown @redambition Unfortunately I can’t remember if actual Mexicans put the lemon in. I can ask coworkers tomorrow!

---

Switched up Halloween playlist for Tegan & Sara, which I suspected I might like. Holy crap. New favouritest group ever.

---

@manaboutnewtown @redambition I’m not sure brushing our teeth in it was necessary, but hey – nobody got sick!

---

@pixel8ted @aunty_toots @redambition @RoseRed_Shoes I’m in an online quoting group and learning heaps. Thinking of starting one in Sydney…

---

@web_goddess @pixel8ted @aunty_toots @redambition @RoseRed_Shoes Quoting? Durrrr. Quilting. Syd group to start in 2013, I think.

---

@tashj You were the Frida?! I saw you on Twitter. Well done! Such an awesome costume.

---

@tashj We went as Lindsay and Tobias from Arrested Development. Not many people recognised though. 🙁 http://t.co/Z5xNfmPm

@kcm74 Ha! We’re flying AirNZ via Auckand when we go home at Christmas. Will watch out for it. 🙂

---

@randomknits Unofficial? That’s totally official! Great way to kick off #sewvember!

---

Loud protest against CommBank in front of Sydney Hilton today…

---

Kicking off #sewvember with the Washi dress I made last month! http://t.co/lmbN6n6N

@pauleyphillips Awww, thanks! 🙂

---

@knitness The colour at Lincraft was “Chilli”. 🙂
