Classroom Party

Amy was super excited about the Halloween party. We played ghost bowling and bean bag toss, after the Halloween parade.

Trunk & Treat

Trunk and Treat at the grandparents church:  I used a dress pattern I had for Amy's Dorothy dress, picked up the shirt and ruby slippers at the thrift store. Jaime wanted me to make a Pokemom costume but she changed it to a simpler character, one of the Ranger Apprentice's. I dug through my fabric stash and found a gray that we sprayed some green fabric paint on it to give it a mottled look, I added a hood but used a gray wool sweater piece that she said didn't look right, so off it came. We used some brown fleece to make an arrow bag and she left her bow at home. 

 

Sock Swap

Jody sent me this scary sock swap! Look at this: two pairs of socks, a cute crow tag, an autumn blessings candle mat, bag full of candy  underneath everything is a Halloween table runner.

Thanks Jody.

Thanks Giving Swap

I was surprised when I opened this box, I was expecting another swap and assumed that was what I was opening.I kept pulling packages out and finally stopped and looked at the name and realized it was the Thanks Giving Swap.  Michelle sent me all sorts of goodies.

                                                    

She made the Give Thanks table runner, along with this cute pilgrim couple. Behind the couple is a journal she made and a sweet woolen Christmas stitchery. I'm loving the Halloween towel and the scented pine cones. Thanks Michelle. Your swap package will be mailed out next week.

This swap was hosted by Wendy.

Missing my mom

Seven years ago today my mom passed away. I miss her. I need to dig out some pictures and get them uploaded. I like to remember my mom looking like this because when she passed away she looked so different. She had Alzheimer's and was in the nursing home for five years before she passed away.

Pinned It, Made It Monday

 

I'm getting this in late, since it's pinned it, made it! Monday---I had to back date it since it's really Tuesday when I uploaded the pictures.:-)

 Well today's Pinned it Made it is a easy one I made for a swap. I saw these big witch's brooms  and decided to make a smaller version. The original pin I pinned just linked to a picture, I also found this one pinned. I just gathered some small twigs and used a bigger one for the handle. I wrapped with jute and then tied it with aged cheesecloth. I added a tag that says free rides.

I also made this cute little ghost.

I'm linking up with Tammy over at Country Girl at Home. Did I say late? haha.

Last home football game for 2012

The last home game of the season was Friday night, the band was wonderful, they've been performing "We Got the Funk." They competed at Washburn in Topeka, a few weeks ago and won 2nd place. All the seniors are wearing the blue shirts for senior night. The stocking hats were for Breast Cancer awareness, they were made for the Turner parade that was cancelled due to the weather. After their performance they were joined by the Goldenettes and the 7th and 8th grade band.  Now we'll need to find something else to do with our Friday nights!!
