Busy Weekend

Saturday, my crafty partner and I 

had lunch 

and did some shopping

 at Michael's and the Dollar Tree. 

I came away with two (creepy!) rats, 

some wooden rounds for Santos style dolls,

 glitter, cheap skellies, some modeling clay for B.E., 

some small paper mache boxes, etc.

I've already begun working on one of the boxes.

The rats were so ugly!  But after adding glitter, 
they sparkle
and look a lot better!

Sunday afternoon, my friend with the lovely library

(you know my library envy),

came for a visit.

Drinking Bloody Mary's, we had a great gab fest.
:) 
It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

You can visit Teresa here at [Her] Highland Cottage.

Last week, I added some Halloween touches 
to a doll that was already dressed 
in black and white.
She now has a witches hat,
a black cat,
some bats,
a needle felted ghost and pumpkin,
and has been caged 
and hung on the chandelier above the table.

Monday was a teacher work day at Bryce Eleanor's school,
so she stayed with me.
We collected roly-poly bugs, planted a sage,
made a haunted house out of boxes, 
glittered a spider ring,
created blue creatures out of special clay,
played Sneaky Snake....

Whew!

Today, I'll be cleaning up again.
Mopping the kitchen floor.
Putting away.
Easing back into my more relaxed schedule.
