Halloween

I am trying to get a picture of the kids before they

go out treating..

As you can see, there is a whole lot of goofiness going on.

All the girls loved the 1950's poodle skirts.



 

Trying to be cool!!

 

 For supper we had lasagna(with bugs), french bread

and pickles.

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.
