sketch of the day

I want to finish this little witch by digitally coloring her. I
have yet to learn the best technique for doing so. I am very pleased
with how the first sketch turned out. This pretty witch sketch is sure
to help you have a happy Halloween!!!

our little Halloween party

We hung some ghosts up on the walls for a spooky effect. I loved the B&W themes in the Halloween magazines this year so I tried a little black and white too. :)

Pretty pumpkins all in a row lining our walk.

Tiny pumpkins in a pedestal bowl. I love the contrast between the orange and white.

Our butter cream frosted "brain" cupcakes tasted GREAT! We also had mummy dogs that tasted wonderful! We ate them all up before we got a picture.

Butterfly Fairy Princess.

Pirate Baby.

Pirate Trent + Creepy Death party guest

Me as a scary beyond scary green faced witch. ( I didn't really like how the green face paint turned out.) i still have two more Halloween activities to do it better, or just a totally different costume. Happy Halloween!!!

Re-beautified ballet flats

Many of you may remember the sequin slippers I used to wear all the time. You may also recall how worn down they quickly became. In fact they looked quite horrible. It was then that I started to hunt for another, more neutral, pair of ballet flats. I wanted ones that I could wear with anything and that were really comfy. I looked and looked with no success. None of the ballet flats I tryed on were cute and comfy at the same time. I returned home disaopointed and
frustrated. I had placed the sequin slippers in the "to be taken to the thrift store box" but took them out again and realized that with a bit of work I could turn the slippers I already had into the flats I wanted. I grabbed my seam ripper and ripped all the sequins off, then
I got the tweezers and tweezed all the left-over threads out. Then I grabbed the black shoe polish off the shelf and they transformed into beautiful black slippers. I love how they turned out! I really didn't expect this all to turn out as pretty as it did. I thought if they
didn't turn out, I wouldn't have spent any money at all, and therefore it couldn't hurt to try. All my work payed off and I am very happy with them. In fact, I wear them every day now!

Family Silhouettes

For Halloween we thought it would be fun to make silhouettes of all of
us. They turned out so cool that we are going to leave them up all
year!

fairy & princess overload!

My daughter can't seem to pick what she wants to be for Halloween. That's
okay because we have a few more weeks, but if I sew it she has to pick
soon! Here are her pics from a browse we took around the internet the
other day. What's your fave?
