I bought the holographic picture in a frame a couple of years ago.
This year I decided to spruce up the frame a little with fabric scraps.
Finished these two eccentric skeletons.
Oops, almost finished, I just realized I haven't added his arms,
which were still drying from a last coat of sealer.
The skulls were from Dollar Tree, I think.
We took a day trip to Natchitoches a couple of weeks ago
and I liked this skellie outside of a shop.
Bryce Eleanor drew the tiger below--
with some shrink plastic they turned into earrings!

Lucky me, I got a pair!
She's eleven, almost twelve, and I love that she keeps working at her drawing. Practice and persistence! |
From these drawings that we made into stuffies when she was five--
she sat in my lap and we sewed them together--
to the tigers on the earrings!
One of my favorite sites to visit is A Mighty Girl, and my favorite Halloween costumes are homemade. A Mighty Girl selected some favorite costumes from past years--many of which are characters from books the girl's have read.

"Cadence is 8 and has wanted to be an entomologist since she was 5. This year, she asked to be a praying mantis for Halloween." |
she wanted to be a bottle of vinegar.
I think she ended up as a spotted puppy.
Check out the some of the others at A Mighty Girl: Jane Goodall, Amelia Earhart & Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr. Who and Harry Potter characters (especially Moaning Myrtle), Mulan, Julia Child--they are all wonderful and fun!

Annie's envelopes are always beautiful, inside and out!
She makes her collage cards out of 5 x 8 index cards folded in half
so the inside in lined and perfect for writing.
I love this idea and will, of course, probably copy it!
I love the washi tape on Iliana's envelope
and the black cat on the back!
and the note card inside :)
Garden--the lettuces, kale, onions, green onions, and chard are doing well. Petite carrot seeds (I like the petite carrots, not the big ones for my salads) have sprouted. If I can do without tomatoes, my salads will be available in just a few steps. Not that I mind purchasing cherry tomatoes, because I don't mind at all.
Happy Halloween!
