MY LIFE WITH A 10 YEAR OLD AND MY OBSESSIONS....SEWING and KNITTING!

Another Halloween came and went



Noey didn't want me to make her Halloween costume this year. Even though, in past years, her costumes have been better made and more detailed than her friends. (if I do say so myself!)

Gone are the cutsey costumes of the past too. No more Snow Whites, Alice in Wonderlands, Raggedy Ann's.

This year she was a Devil. A nice, friendly devil!

We had an awesome time Trick or Treating with our "posse". Nine kids and 6 adults. I don't drink, but the rest of the adults brought along a little fortification (wine) as we trolled the neighborhood for 3 solid hours!

Noey and I are now munching on candy for breakfast! (the breakfast of champions!)

My sewing and knitting have been practically non-existent this week. I did manage to cut out a "vintage" project. I bought a peasant blouse pattern circa 1979 from etsy and found a "vintage" fabric circa 1985 in my stash. It's a simple pattern but I just haven't found the time to sit down and sew it.

This will be my first "vintage" pattern. It has some interesting methods, which I am looking forward to trying.
