A crafty little atelier in a grey city

Happy Friday + Randomness

October 31, 2014

2014-halloween-pumpkin

Happy Friday! I’m dragging my feet on the girl-transforming-into-werewolf costume for K and my pleas for her to wear the ninja costume tonight are falling on deaf ears. I obviously need to re-evaluate who’s the boss here.

*************************

A random comment on the age-old game of tag by K:

I’m not that into being “it” these days. I’m totally over it.

*************************

Alright, I better see if I can muster the energy to focus on assembling faux fur…Have a great weekend, friends!

Happy Halloween!
Will you trick or treat tonite?
Chocolate’s my fave

    another vote for chocolate here:)

    And you already rock as costume-maker extraordinaire! Feel free to share with K that there are WAY worse moms living in parts of the world (Michigan) that make their children go through the dress up box the night before:)

      Aw, thanks Lucinda! I pulled it off at the very last second but you’ll see that it didn’t quite turn out the way I thought it would be…;-)

    Being it really isn’t that great I’m hiding from trick or treaters and my kids went to bed at 7. The 5 and under crowd gets up too early to party after dark

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!
