Halloween

It's Halloween.

Jessica got up early because she got to wear

her costume to school today.

She was very excited about that.

She was feeling very pretty today.

I hope to get more pictures of all the kids tonight.

 

She loved her shoes.

Crinolines

So this week I needed to finish the crinolines for the poodle skirts

Here I am gathering tulle.

I am using my gathering foot.

This is one of my favorite ways to gather,

especially if you have many miles of fabric to gather.

 

 

 

The finished product.

Now I did not get to fancy with these.

They may only wear them once.

I made four of these.

 

Perhaps next year I will tell them they can go to the store

and buy a costume.

Seems to me that would be much easier.

I will get some pictures when they are all dressed up

so we can see the total look.

Getting ready for Halloween

This is what I did this week.

I am nearly done with Halloween.

Still need to make crinolines.

Did I mention I dislike Halloween.

 I made 3 monogrammed blouses.



 

 Pink poodle skirt.

(I made two of these)

 

 Purple poodle skirt.

 

 Turquoise poodle skirt.

Canvas running shoes

Halloween is coming.

I really dislike Halloween but I am outnumbered.

So I am working on costumes again this year.

 

Here is a part of it.

Canvas running shoes colored with a

jiffy marker and crystals added for some bling.

The kids think they are great.

Happy Thanksgiving



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update on linen bread bag

So you know I made a linen bread bag yesterday.

I had half a loaf of bread I started using and put it in the

the bread bag.

This morning I got the bread out to make some toast.

The bread was drying out.

It was not keeping my bread fresh.

Well now I know.

IT DOES NOT WORK.

But it is still a pretty bag and would be a nice way

to present a gift of homemade bread.

Jacob has a new best friend.

She is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever

and her name is Morgan.

She is 9 weeks old.

I just love her.
