Wickedly Wonderful!

Some of the kids in our family moved into their own places this year including Nicole, who just moved in to her first apartment efficiency this fall.  Nicole loves Halloween and when I saw this panel, I just knew I had to make a wallhanging for her!  The "Welcome" quilt holder is going to be mailed with her quilty.

It was a fun Halloween!

Usually, I don't like Halloween; partly because I don't like the horror, partly because my least favorite color is orange and partly because I had orange and black birthday cakes my entire childhood. This year I had fun though "boo-ing" loved ones. The teddy bears were for our granddaughter, Helena and Kaylin, my niece's one year old. The dogs I made for my niece Nicole (away at college), our neighbors who own George the cat (included on the wallhanging) and a new friend, Cindy, who recently donated a lot of fabric to me. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving projects now :) DH is going to be working a lot the next month and doing so more little gifts, as well as finishing some Christmas presents, should keep me busy.

My Son the Nun........

Is REALLY confusing the puppies.

Happy Halloween!

Wrapping Up Halloween This Week!

This week I am trying to wrap up the Halloween things that need to be mailed by Thursday. This is in Helena's package. Remember being 5 years old and how wonderful it was to get things in the mail? I like thrilling our girl now that we don't see her often. I thought this shirt would be neat to wear to school:
She loves cats and I am hoping she will like these gloves I got her...

not to mention the cat necklace that lights up and blinks and will be a good thing to wear when she goes Trick or Treating.
