A crafty little atelier in a grey city

October = Halloween

October 1, 2012

It’s the first day of October! It’s officially Fall (my favorite) and time to start thinking about Halloween costumes. Until the age of about 11, my brothers almost always dressed up as ninjas and I was invariably a princess. Princesses are so toddler for my little pumpkin, however.

This year, K has requested a dracula-esque costume, so I’m thinking of something like this:

I also have a soft spot for the classic li’l witch and would love to make something that looks like this:

 

What are your Halloween plans? There are so many Pinterest inspiration, I might have to do a round-up of great ideas!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones! Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones! I’m spending time with family in the Midwest and there is much to be grateful for, not the least of which is the slower pace this week. Sending big hugs to you! 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Incidentally, this ikebana floral arrangement is one of the illustrations that didn’t make it into my book SHIBUI — I painted a lot of extra illos!
