Great Pumpkin - Tumblr Posts

Started on a new fall ensemble! This amazing gown is from a Tischbein portrait from 1770! I’m halfway through the petticoat now, and will hopefully be finishing it up in the next few days.

I’m using two shot taffetas for this dress - a blue/green taffeta and a red/yellow taffeta (that looks bright orange!). Things are going a bit slowly because there is a lot of hand-sewing involved. The hem on the petticoat is 2″ deep and all had to be hand-sewn. The edges on the fabric ribbon that will become the box-pleated trim also had to be hemmed by hand, all 360 inches! It was horrible, and now it looks like I’ll have to add another length of fabric on, so that’s another 120 inches to hem! Yeesh. I’m still hoping to wrap the petticoat up by the end of the week, though!

Life Tip #43

with halloween growing closer and closer, it’s time to pull out the list of amazing fun-filled family-friendly classic halloween movies! choose from titles such as:

1. the nightmare before christmas - the heartwarming story of a guy who stepped out of his comfort zone and ruined everything! truly inspiring!

2. mickey mouse’s house of villains - classic disney villains learn that if at first you don’t succeed, try again! and fail again!

3. it’s the great pumpkin, charlie brown - heartbreaking! a kid reserves a seat for a giant pumpkin and he fails to show up. you hate to see this kind of thing.

4. hocus pocus - trying to impress your crush goes terribly wrong. a big fucking mood.

Stick it to Apple and watch this classic cartoon

"It's the Great Paywall, Charlie Brown!"

Once again the greedy assholes have stuck "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" on Apple+.

This cartoon has been a Halloween tradition of mine since it first aired in 1966 on network TV.  For decades kids enjoyed this for free.

So it infuriates me that now the only people who can see it have to pay for streaming or the DVD.  I can't even afford streaming.

So here it is, the whole thing.  Feel free to reblog, download and/or share.
