The Little Mermaid

Okay, now this is cute! I had a Little Mermaid costume that I made for Megan when she was in Kindergarten. One of Matilda's favorite movies right now is The Little Mermaid, so Tracy borrowed the costume and bought a wig for her to where with it for Halloween this year. Here she is at her dress rehearsal. Couldn't you just hug her to death and smother her with kisses?

Pumpkins

Here is another peek at something I will be selling at the craft show this Saturday. What a cute little decoration and when the season is over, you can store it away as is---BUT, if space is a problem for you, you can pull the stem out, fold up the fabric forming the outside and store it away like that until next year when you will give it new insides. Because---Guess what's in the middle! A roll of toilet paper! I heard about this cute idea from on of my Calendar Girls and just had to try it! How fun! These are for sale for $6.50 each.

This quilt measures about 70"X57" and is made entirely from cozy 100% cotton flannel. The front has two different baseball related prints. The back is done in a red flannel and the inside layer is navy blue.

We washed and dried each quilt start the great ragging process. These quilts should get softer and more snuggly with each washing, we have been using many of ours for years. When needed wash your quilt in cold or cool water and dry in the drier on a cool setting. The rag part of your quilt may become a bit squished during shipping. If this happens just follow the above washing instructions to fluff it back up.

Craft Show Info

I'd love to have you stop by and see me at this show next week. Here are some sneak peeks of a few of the items I will have for sale....

We made these cute little pumpkins in the card class I taught this month. Your purchase of $2 will come with and envelope because you can easily fold your pumpkin up flat for mailing or storage. How great! A card that becomes a little piece of decor!

Aren't these cute? I just love them! The mummy cans come to you sealed with potato sticks inside (They are like potato chips, but are in stick form). You may give them as is, or gobble up the potato sticks and fill the empty can with candy. Your purchase of $5.50 includes a clear bad, ribbon, and tag should you choose to fill him with candy.

Pumpkin Patch

Today Matilda and I set off for Gardnerville to visit a pumpkin patch I had seen on-line. We're driving along and suddenly I hear a sweet little voice from my back seat saying....

Pumpkin Patch, Pumpkin Patch
Lookin' for a pumpkin in the pumpkin patch
Here is one, Round and Fat
Turns into a Jack-O-Lantern
Just Like That!

ADORABLE!!
