Argghhh! How can she be posting about Halloween and it’s the last week of Nov? The Crafter truly believe she is trapped in some kind of domestically induced time warp.
Nonetheless, here she is with nothing earth shattering to report. A fact for which she is most grateful. Halloween was a roaring success and the homemade costumes were a hit. Her ds can be still be found on any day of the week attired in his parrot-plumage and dancing around the living room. DD only wears the mermaid outfit (on which the Crafter still hasn’t hand- sewn all the sequins) when the thermostat reaches something more temperate. She refuses to layer under it. “Mummy, mermaids do not wear turtlenecks!” The Crafter hesitates to point out that neither do they (mermaids) reside in the great frigid plains of the North. (If they did, they would probably have turtlenecks with gills on them.) In truth, they are, neither of them, much of an authority on mermaid evolution. Here is a layout done for her:
She has not yet scrapped the parrot costume:
and finally here are the candy bags sent to school:
OK, so that holiday is done…! Now we chug along merrily towards Christmas.
The Crafter may even have a chance to stay ahead on this one: the Christmas cake is soaking in rum, the card is designed, letter is done, even her gift list is mostly filled in. It’s looking good so far….
Mind you, she’s learned never to count her rum balls until the New Year’s ball drops!
