Halloween Inspiration!!

Its my favorite time of year :) Halloween!! Here is a sneak peek at costumes already in progress.....

(of course I have two costumes, one scary for Friday....one cutesy for Saturday)




Can you guess what they may be??

Still in need of yellow galoshes, blue spray paint, 20's style hat, and an orange striped turtle neck!

Kiddo can't make up his mind....




Who knows....he may end up being ninja-batman!

What do you all have planned??

Without My Sewing Machine

Since the disaster with the three sewing machines.......I have hardly sewn a stitch! I have come to the conclusion that my machine needs to be taken to the shop...boooo!!

As always though some disasters are blessings in disguise, and I have reconnected with my non sewing crafts :)
