Happy Halloween!

With Halloween just around the corner and it's still not too late for some last minute Halloween projects. So I thought I'd share with you some of my ideas on how to whip up some great Halloween crafts!

If you are looking so make a quick and adorable costume for the kids, I've got something for you! From Precious Patterns, I have featured on my website an E-Pattern for a Pumpkin and Dalmatian costume! This is a simple pattern that is easy to fit to your young one's size with an adjustable elastic bottom with ties on top. The pattern also includes instructions on how to make an adorable little hat too!
For the pumpkin costume, I'd suggest adding crumpled up newspaper to make your child look like a big and round pumpkin! Throw this costume over pants and a sweater to keep warm this Halloween!


Next I thought I'd suggest making you own treat bags rather than going out to the store and buying one. Making your own is so much more special and it'll be something your child can keep for years to come! Featured I have the Treat Bags E-Pattern. You can choose from having a ghost, pumpkin, or spider treat bag!


Here's a great and simple E-Pattern for a Pumpkin Bib for your baby this Halloween. Great for those messy treats on Halloween as well as the rest of the fall season!
I hope some of these last minute Halloween project ideas have helped! E-Patterns are great because you can instantly download them and get to work on your project.
Happy Halloween!

What to Wear in Madagascar

To be honest, I have no idea what to wear in Madagascar, and this title may need to be changed to "what NOT to wear in Madagascar" in a few months.  We will have to wait and see.  My 22 year old daughter, Alyssa, left for the Peace Corps this week, and she will be stationed in Madagascar for the next 2 years and 3 months.  Yes, you read that right- TWO YEARS and three months!!! We are very proud of her for wanting to help make the world a better place, and for being fearless in doing so, but it will be a looooong time for Mama and Papa back home. Not knowing anything about Madagascar, the first step in figuring out what to pack was to figure out the weather and the cultural norms.  Madagascar is a very large island off the southeastern coast of Africa.  It's very, very unique in it's ecosystem, and has many species that are not found anywhere else in the world- most famously lemurs. Right now, it is experiencing it's rainy season, as you can see by t...

Rose Colored Glasses and More

So, 2019 was a bummer of a year for me.  I developed a heart condition called atrial fibrillation (or Afib for short) and spent the last half of the year in and out of the ER and doctor's offices trying to control it.  If you've never heard of it, it's when your heart rate suddenly goes 100 miles an hour.  It's very unpredictable, scary, uncomfortable and exhausting.  So, needless to say, I didn't get a ton of sewing done the last half of the year.   Rubes® cartoon used with permission © Leigh Rubin www.RubesCartoons.com In August, I was put on a medication that had scary side effects, didn't work, and led to horrendous insomnia.  I felt like a walking zombie.   But after 3 months of that, in November, I had a procedure called a cardiac ablation which froze the heart cells that were causing the problem.  Thank God for modern technology- this procedure has only been available in the last 20 years. I'm 3 months post procedur...
