Rocketeer Helmet Pinata.
For my friend Pietro’s birthday, he had mentioned that no cool pinatas existed in New Jersey for him to smash. Being born and raised in New Jersey I decided to take that challenge and find a cool pinata. With no such luck in either Party City or Target, I decided to craft a pinata instead, using Pietro’s favorite movie for the subject: The Rocketeer. Obviously.
Pet stockings in all their felty glory.
I used to have really cute mini stockings for our dog and cat (they were once gift card holders in the shape of stockings my sister found at CVS), but unfortunately our leopard gecko was left out of the equation. Poor Lyle! So with a little felt and a lot of hot glue, I bought $3 mini-stockings on sale at Michael’s and set to work making personalized stockings for all the beasties.
Star Wars Christmas Tree Skirt.
Since we can’t put Christmas presents under our tree due to a feisty cat named Jameson who likes tearing into wrapping paper, we needed an alternative to cover a bulky tree stand. Luckily I had an extra circle skirt laying around that matched our purple ornaments. It wasn’t getting any use, so I decided to refashion my old Moonglow skirt from Halloween. What is a tree skirt but a skirt for a tree?
The Exclusives celebrate in style. That style is decidedly purple.
For my 24th birthday party, I threw an impromptu theme party together in less than a week. I advertised this small get together as a Purple Pony Glitter Party, emphasis on the purple. Mostly because I could find a lot of purple things, some pony things, and only a few glitter things. It was my goal to make everything as purple as possible, from the food to the drinks to the clothing and decorations. The party guests were asked to wear purple and they did not disappoint, showing up in purple shirts, skirts, and wearing purple eyeshadow with purple painted nails.
