holiday frustrations

sooo... i was starting to make my kids' halloween costumes . phoebe is going to be a princess (at the request of my son!) and marek is going to be a "bad" knight. i was highly disappointed in the selection of fabric in this hell hole town! i went to hancocks and found nothing for her princess hat (unless i wanted orange and black) and didnt find anything at all to resemble marek's chainmail material. so went to the lob. they were just a smidgen better and i got stuff to do her hat BUt nothing for the chainmail...and they actually told me to try to buy the costume instead of make it! obviously i dont wanna buy a CRAPPY costume otherwise i would be a walmart fighting the crowds for another horrible costume! i cant justify a trip to the city right now just to see if a few stores might have the fabric im looking for (although the day without children would be nice) if anyone has any kind of suggestions im completely open to them...sigh...why does everything have to be so stinkin complicated>??!!
and ive cut my christmas cards already...getting ready for the christmas card crop-im actually excited about cards can u believe it :)
