Happy Halloween!
This is the first Halloween season that Bret’s ever been gone, so it was up to Taylor and I to carve the pumpkins last night. For quite some time now, we’ve done some sort of ‘Pumpkin Master’ type design. However, over the past few, we’ve been using ZombiePumpkins.com, which is where the above designs came from. It looks like it’s a pirate’s Halloween for us – Taylor selected the ‘Jolly Roger’ stencil and I picked Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow.

Halloween Party
As promised, here we are – the deadly assassins at a Kansas City Halloween Party. Even though we don’t look like we’re having a fabulous time – we were, everyone kept telling us to “look the part” and we had a horrible time keeping a straight face, this was a close as we could get! We weren’t the only themed groups out there, either.
And The Winner Is….
Voting is closed and the results are in….. Carrie W won the Fabric Scrap Contest! Carrie will be receiving a copy of Fabric Leftovers: Simple, adaptable ways to use up scraps.
Thanks to everyone who entered this contest, I loved seeing the creative uses for scraps – it’s very inspirational!
I hope everyone had fun, I hope to do more contests in the future!
Halloween, Swaps, and Books
Well, we’re back from our weekend in Kansas City. I’ll be posting a few Halloween party pictures eventually after they’ve been downloaded, I unpack, etc. I have to admit, I didn’t take as many pictures as what I had hoped that I would…
Halloween Gingerbread
Taylor has been home since Wednesday for parent teacher conferences. So what have we been up to? First off, we made our Wilton Cooke House. Our version wasn’t already assembled and ready to go, so the whole decorating process took a long time.
Pin Cushions
What do I do when I can’t blog? I make pin cushions!
New Top
This weekend I was in dire need of some sewing therapy. My short coat was slowly progressing and I really needed something that would provide some instant gratification. So I whipped out Kwik Sew 3455 and my ‘Many Hands’ buttermilk from Emma One Sock and went to work.
I’m Back!
For those who regularly visit the site, I’m sure that you noticed the site was down for quite awhile starting on Monday afternoon. Even though the site was back up yesterday evening, it wasn’t quite functional until now (I couldn’t post and no one could comment).
Weekend Recap
Aside from yesteday’s domestic activities, I also got to do two of my favorite activities – shopping and sewing!
Domestic
We’ve been very domestic at our house lately – Bret has been attaching handles to our cabinets, we’ve put Taylor to work cleaning out drawers, and I not only made some homemade soup, but also a cherry pie.
