Costume creating, acorns, acorns & more acorns!

As usual LiLi had her Halloween costume planned way early. She actually bought the hat back in February when they were in Mexico.

She did a sketch for me with specific instructions on how to make it. I was not (as usual) able to find a pattern so went with the closest I could find & planned to "wing" it!

This is the hat where I was getting my inspiration.

They say that creative people are very messy as this pic & the video will show👀

Things were not going well as I was trying to make a pattern about 6 sizes smaller! It will happen!

In between all this I spend every other day raking acorns......I've lost track of how many times I've filled this wheelbarrow!

look at my hibiscus......it's crazy that it's flowering so late in the season!

I had to bring it inside before the frost gets it

My friend Paul who I play golf with has a remote golf cart & I kiddingly told him he should have a ghost on it for Halloween. The following Friday this came acrooss the parking lot at me👻 He & his wife found something even better!

We got lots of stares playing golf that day!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot. When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow. Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out. I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike. It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it. They start off very slowly....... then speed up a little...... which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash...... gradually she feels more comfortable.... then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!

Today we have a riddle???

What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip? The following......... This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing. This is the back....got tired of doing squares! Matching cover for my serger. I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot. I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon. Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love
