Happy Halloween

I did it again, home-made costumes. Three was a little more stressful than the usual two. But I did it and they look good and got done in time. Garrick and Grady's I made my own pattern. Grady's I just used a hoodie and sweat pants from Walmart and made all the spikes and stuff from felt. Garrick's I winged it and used some of his clothes as a template, the only thing I wish is that I had gotten fabric with a little bit of stretch, most of his fabric was remnants so I only paid about $1 a yard. He loves it and I think it turned out great.
Marley's I used a Simplicity pattern and wanted to kill it. It will be a long time before I sew with a pattern again, it was much more difficult than I had originally anticipated and I about ripped it to shreds. I should have used cotton or even velvet instead of organza and satin, (both of which are really hard to sew). I wouldn't have been able to do it without my mom. She is really the best!! I went over 3 different times and she helped me sew for hours. I really love that lady. Rapunzel is beautiful and Moo is happy.

Rapunzel (Who right now is very afraid of SNAKES.) She didn't believe me that all Grandpa's snakes have gone to bed for the winter.

She's a Beaut



Isn't she a beaut. This is the bike Carl bought for me for my birthday. I love it! We bought a trailer so the kids and I ride our bikes to school every morning. I feel so cool riding down the street I'd ride it everywhere if I could. Thanks babe.

A Little Wiser


I had a birthday recently and I definitely don't feel older. I don't think I'm looking it either. What do you think?

One thing I do feel is wiser.

(In case you didn't know I have a mini-me around. Isn't she adorable in my glasses.)
