First off, I am honestly cracking up at so many of the comments on my Fall Into Fall Giveaway post. I asked for a memory to do with halloween costumes and WOW you guys did not disappoint. If you haven't entered my giveaway yet (for some Flea Market Fancy fabric) just click here to go directly to the post where you can comment. The comments close tomorrow at 7:00 AST. As my own contribution on the topic of Halloween costumes, the photo above shows my son and husband back in 2007. My son was two. I made him that letter A costume. I didn't sew then, so I used a glue gun. It has foam inside (like for chair pads) and is covered in felt. I didn't have a pattern, I just kind of freestyled it, but I was really happy with how it turned out. He looked sooooo cute. There are nice big arm holes in the sides, although you can't tell in the photo. He was nice and cosy and warm in there too.
I also made another sign to decorate our yard. I got some great feedback on my Ghoul Bus sign so I wanted to try a second one. I believe I have mentioned before that we feed the crows at our house. I just throw them the toast crusts that the kids don't eat. Anyway, the power lines are right above where I placed this sign, and that is where the crows sit and wait for their breakfast. My neighbours know I feed the crows, so hopefully they appreciate this sign :-)-
Finally, last night a friend and I joined our local quilt guild -- so I guess I'm legit now. They have some interesting charity projects and other initiatives spread out over the course of the year so I am hoping to be able to participate in something. I think it will be nice to occasionally hang out with some quilty sorts.
