Halloween calader

I just had to share this. I have seen tons of advent calendars out there and I wanted to do a Halloween version. 31 is so much I decided to cut it down to the "13 days of Halloween". I gave this one away so now I have to get my you know what in gear and make mine. I already have the goodies to put into it like Halloween yo yo, ball, bracelets, teeth and so on.....

I bought a cheap cookie sheet from Wally World and mint tins from Michaels. I sanded the cookie sheet and primed then painted in (you must sand it a little or the paint won't stick trust me). Glue round magnets to the back of the tins and went to town on making the numbered front.

Current project

So I made a quilt I had being dying to try for a baby shower (I will back track later and show the original later). She loved it so much she wanted me to make one for her sister-in-law who is due at the same time.

Here is a sneak peak of the birdee quilt.

catch up

Ok so I will try to catch everyone up on the past memorable events or at least the ones I took pictures of.

So to start off - July (oh please don't expect me to put this in order). My son went into the Navy in March - boy do I miss my giant boy - and graduated at the end of April. I flew out to Chicago with his now x-girlfriend for his graduation. He came out 4th of July weekend - he was coming out to see his girlfriend but she broke up with him before he came out.

I'm back????

This has definitely been and interesting year. I won't go into the big boohoo of how yucky I feel or felt but I am pushing through. I have been very busy crafting so I hope to fill you in on some of the stuff I have been doing. Oct is my FAVORITE month to craft for so I have some supper stinken cute things I have made.

So hang tight while I get my collective dodo together........
