The spiders.....

The spiders are hung by the door with care in hopes that the Great Pumpkin soon will be there! And a bat just flew in to keep them company....

Christopher's in a treasury!

Little Christopher and his altered paper mache box made in into an etsy treasury !

my surprise!

When the doorbell rang today I had no reason to expect a surprise box from my son.... but I did. He sent this wonderful autumnal dried flower wreath! I've hung it on the door to the closet in my entry way ... for the time being. I will use it for a centerpiece on my dining room table when I finished making memory bears from a 1950's wedding dress. Currently the table is covered with satin, lace and netting! Thanks, Robb!!!

Two snowmen for 2011!

Trick or treater!!!

We've been visiting our son down in Tulsa. He had some vacation time and a list of house projects for us .... new lights, new bathroom fan/light, bush pruning and so on. Knowing that my husband and son would be gaming on the XBox at night, I took my bearmaking supplies along. Loren is one I finished while they played.
