i went on a massive cooking spree during the storm

and with the cool temps and near-bare trees

i had a craving for gingerbread

so, in the spirit of the season...

catch up - sewing class: halloween costumes

i'm a bit behind-the-ball

posting these halloween costumes

my sewing class girls

i wanted to get them up before december!

the girls spent some time brainstorming

before we started drafting patterns and sewing

and i am blown away at how close to their original sketches the costumes turned out!

looking ahead to halloween

now that it is officially fall

the farm stands overflowing with mums and pumpkins

and stores filled with orange and black

seem a little more appropriate

And....I'm Back

It's been a while, but I am back and newly-committed to my humble blog.

After a long summer of waitressing, business-only thinking and wedding planning, my creative juices are flowing again! HALLELUJAH!

I have decided to dedicate one day a week to crafting- house projects- clothing (for me!) making...my dream to-do list was just getting to long and I was feeling uninspired in all areas of my life. I am hoping to start blogging my DIY projects here, so stay tuned.

So, lately I have been totally into Halloween. This is odd for me because, I have to say, orange and black? Yeah, just not doing it for me. But there is something about the new crop of odd shaped and colored gourds that I love. And Candy Corn. I do love Candy Corn. BUT, how about this for Halloween Glamour:
