Later Halloween Night...

Celena and her best friend Jill, dressed up for a Halloween Party this weekend.. Celena was the Queen of Hearts and Jill was the Mad Hatter. I would never have recognized them! They did a great job on their costumes.

It has been a Very quiet Halloween night at my house tonight..... eeeearily quiet! LOL! Just me here. No trick or treaters out tonight, but these days I would be afraid to open the door anyway. But gee I sure miss those simpler days when I was a kid and Halloween was safe and fun, tons of us were out in the streets wearing our costumes, I would be soo excited waiting until we could go out and get started collecting candy trick or treating with our parents tagging behind as we went door to door gathering goodies...seems everyone went and the streets were full, there were carved and lit Jack-O-Lanterns at most every house. I remember how wonderful that smell was of a candle burning inside the pumpkins. My mom used to make caramel popcorn balls and dipped Carmel Candy Apples.. oh those wonderful smells of Halloween's past.

Then when my girls were little, I used to be able to take them and go trick or treating too, even though it wasn't nearly as crowded out on the streets as it was when I was a child... but anymore it is so different as we all know. Sadly, I don't think I have seen a trick or treater at my door in about 6 years or more. Probably much safer for the little kids to do other things, community & church parties and activities and such instead of going door to door BUT I sure miss those old days when it was fun and safe.

A Quiet Halloween Night.

Got 12 of these guys done, haven't made them in years. They are cuties!

These are Prim Reindeer, got 10 made, dissappointed in the picture, they look soo much better in person. Really like them.

Miley .. a big help, holding the box down for me, you know, in case a huge gush of wind was to come bursting through the window..OOOOk.

This is from my "Abigail 1802" pattern , I made 2 of them., One went out the door for an order and the other one will go to my show I suppose. Pattern is available on my website.

Early October Snow!!

Isn't this snow beautiful??!!! The only thing I can find wrong with this picture is....that unfortunately it isn't at my house..BooHoo! This is a gorgeous snowfall from Baltimore, Maryland yesterday (Saturday Oct 29, 2011) from where my dear friend Delores lives. She was kind enough to send this pic to me cause she knows how much I love snow!! This was actually taken at her daughter's home about an hour from Delores. Just wanted to share with you, it got me motivated and more in the mood to sew Christmas items. Thanks sooooo much Delores!!! You are a sweetie! I love your snow pic! Looking forward to getting more from you this winter..LOL!

oooooook!

Michael, wake up! They are shooting at you!! (Just kidding)You know Michael,it isn't always a good idea to sleep on the job in enemy territory!...LOL.. this is my dear son in-law Michael, asleep, he is curently deployed again. God Bless him.

Such a serious face Michael, must be some intense music he is listening too! Actually he says he does it cause they are going really fast through there and trying to avoid running over IED bombs so music helps releieve the tension and creates a mental diversion of being killed any second. I guess I have to agree. Praying for his safe return home.
