Once upon a time I had a baby.Her name was Ruth and she had wild and wonderful untamed golden locks. So I decided that she must be Goldilocks for Halloween and I set off to make her a costume.But I wasn't sure what Goldilocks should look like...And this was the best costume I could come up with: And although I loved her in the dress and pinafore I made(and how could I not...just look at those knees poking out between her dress and socks...)I wasn't sure if she looked like Goldilocks from ...

A Witch in Training….
I am so close to finishing up costumes. Well, one costume that has taken me forever. I keep second guessing myself...but I am now seeing the finish line so I WILL show you on Friday.

The Art of Homemaking: When Someone Yells Stop…
Besides the fact that when I ran across this saying I thought it was hilarious it's also kind of how I feel right now.

(best guess) This is the first of them...and I will show you the second a bit later (it's not quite done yet). Sheesh....it's a good thing I am doing clean-outs....you never know what in the world I am going to find in the way of fabrics. Well, the fabric was there all neatly packaged up....but I couldn't ...

Super Scary Sewing Stories Week 3
Welcome to week 3 of super scary sewing stories.Be warned...this week may just be the scariest...and the pictures are freaky...You've been warned. Story Number One comes from Terra over at Mama Says Sew:"So a lot of my friends know that I like to sew. But I think they overestimate my skill. Which is flattering, but it can also get me into trouble. Like when they volunteer me for things that are out of my league. For example: one of my friends told a girl she knows that I can sew and said that ... View the Post
When Hinges Creak… 5 Halloween Wall Decoration Tutorials for $5 Friday
Last week we posted about my Haunted Mansion inspired wall: And this week for $5 Friday we are going to share how we made 5 of the items from the wall for less than $5. So let's get started. The very first thing I made for my wall was my two old crows picture: I had this weird old picture of two bath tubs...like I said weird... So I pulled the mat and pictures out of the frame: That's when I discovered the tubs were glued to the mat. Oh well, that didn't really bother me. I still went ... View the Post
