      LET IT SNOW CHALLENGE
      GAME 27


      CHALLENGE:
      Winter is here so let’s celebrate! There are so many fun things to do when the ground is blanketed with snow. Skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, snowmobiling, ice-fishing, making a snowman or hanging out with friends in front of a fireplace.

      The challenge is to create an outfit that is suitable for the season. The outfit must contain two accessories that are handmade.

      The challenge is late this time so please read the entry date.

      RULES:
      The spending limit for the game is $25.00. This includes fabric and all supplies, except thread. For countries other than the US, spend the equivalent currency.
      The use of commercial patterns is prohibited. All costumes must be designed by you.
      Shoes, socks, stockings and tights are not considered accessories and may be purchased.
      You may purchase supplies and design your costume before the challenge begins, but you MAY NOT begin sewing until the game starts.

      JUDGING:
      Entries will be judged on the following:
      • Interpretation of the challenge theme
      • Design Concept
      • Accessories
      • Aesthetic

    5. We're in too. I already had Mookie snowboarding for one of the other challenges so we will have to think of something else for this one. But he's a fun lovin' little guy so I am sure he can think of something. Me? Not so much a fan of snow and cold weather. Does sitting by the window with a cup of hot cocoa watching it snow count as an activity?

      I really struggled with this challenge. I just got finished and had to take my own pictures which explains the crappy quality. Normally, my friend at work who has a better camera to work with and way more photographic abilities takes them for me.

    24. Hey, guys, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to withdraw and I feel a need to explain why, because I might be withdrawing permanently, and you've all become quite dear to me. This has been really hard to write so please bear with me.

      Ever since the Poobanator was disqualified I've tried to make lemonade out of the situation, but I have to admit, every time I try to work on a challenge, the pain and disappointment of that decision rises all over again. Not because I didn't win, but because it all felt so unnecessarily arbitrary and negative at a very special time in my life, my wedding to my partner of over twenty years. I'd signed up for the challenge before we actually set the date for the wedding (yeah, we organized it in less than a month. :D) I was prepping for a wedding, building a new pond for the backdrop to the arbor, and getting the boys ready for their part all in the same month.

      I don't like copping out on a promise, so I combined the challenge with my real life and I thought and still think rather cleverly so. It was made in the month and according to all the rules. I just let it do double duty. I saw nothing in the rules about no pix being posted of the outfit prior to the challenge, so thought nothing about it when I put up wedding pix, and still do not see how it violates the spirit of the rules. I acknowledge how the judges interpreted the specifics of the rules and their right to do so, and I hold nothing against them, but I can't help the fact that it feels very arbitrary and ill-timed and just, well, negative.

      I beg you all to remember, this is a game. It's supposed to be fun. I love you all, including the judges, but for now, I think I'm going to have to bow out.

      Good luck to you all and have fun in the snow.

But I just realized that's why I just haven't been able to get enthused about any of the challenges. Self-realization is a two-edged sword. OTOH...maybe now I have my finger on it, my dumb gut will put it to rest.

      Never say never!

    28. I am reluctant to do this but it is already the 22nd and I haven't come up with a concrete idea that I want to do so I am going to withdraw. I also have quite a few things that others want of me so my time has become extremely tight. This is the second time I've bowed out on a winter theme and I really like the season. I still have the items from the last one in various stages of completion. Maybe next winter - third time's a charm?

As usual, I will need that extension please. So far all I have is a scarf that I crocheted but I don't like the way it turned out. I just got in the house after 3 hours shoveling snow so "Fun in the Snow" is not exactly my favorite phrase.

      PRGerry- Oh I bet that fishing license is adorable! I would love to see it; as a conservation officer I look at fishing licenses all the time so a doll sized one would be killer. Although so long as Spanky is under the age of 16 he is welcome to fish here in PA without a license. Just tell him to be careful on the ice! :)

    55. My computer had a virus and I was unable to access the internet for several weeks. It's fixed now to the tune of $350.00! I wish there was a way to track down the idiots and make them pay the bill! lol

    57. They were able to access my Netflix and add 3 accounts. That wasn't bad, but I had 700 infected files and that was a bitch!

    59. I'm glad that you got it straightened out; viruses are no fun. Hopefully no unrefundable charges were put on the Netflix account.
      And the new game is up here and looks like a very interesting topic.
