Happy Halloween!

Okay, so since Jon accused me of “super-posting” (in essence, my entries seem to be a lot of rambling and much too long), here are two pictures from Halloween:
Here are our pumpkins & jack-o-lanterns. From left to right: Eliza’s (bat on a pumpkin), Adam’s (bat), Andrew’s (ghost), mine (spider w/ web; btw, I LOVE white pumpkins), and Kate’s (cat). Jon’s was the big fat one that didn’t get carved because he was pretty busy this week.

And, here’s the picture of our little trick-or-treaters. Adam (Batman), Eliza (witch), Andrew (Spiderman), and Kate (snow queen). Jon took the children out so I wouldn’t have to go outside (since I was still sick). This year the weather was perfect: just a little chilly, hardly cold at all; so they were gone for a long time, and when they came back I felt like I didn’t give out enough candy. I mean, isn’t it supposed to be like a trade? It’s a good thing I save half of their candy for their Christmas stockings.

Happy Halloween!

I'm sorry you are still sick. I hope you get better soon. I love that you save your Halloween candy for Christmas. I remember you saying that last year and I totally did the same this year. Such a good idea. Your kids look so cute. I hope they had a fun Halloween.

I'm kind of embarassed to say. I got Bell's costume at Walmart. For 12 bucks! I hate spending a lot of money on Halloween costumes. I totally lucked out this year. She loved it.

Blogiversary

Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
