Working on some things.....

I made a bunch of salt dough onrnaments and little cookie type ornaments. I dipped them in an old almond biscottie candle and sprinkled cinnamon and cloves on them. I have some plans for them, so I hope I will get them done for the craft show Saturday.

The kids are off school today for Election Day. I have to work at 2 today, and we probably won't be busy. I hope not, I am tired today! Well, back to cooking my dinner so I can get going soon! Have a great day, hugs, michelle

It's Monday....already!

Good November 2nd already morning! Where did the month of October go???? Sally wonders too! She also wonders why we always put something on her for the holiday! She did not like her kerchief we bought her, cant' you tell? She also did not like the trick or treaters banging on the door! She's a little spitfire! The picture of the kids did not turn out so great. I had to grab them before they went flying out the door, and the "witches" did not have thier hats on either! The one with the mask is sick Nick. He did not go out to get candy, but my son's girlfriend, got him candy from the neighbors.

Now, what is this mess? I'll tell you later. I'm not done yet. I sure do have a messy table, but I work better that way! I love having my paint water in my way, so I can spill it while reaching for my coffee! It just works for me! I'll hopefully show you tomorow what I a made with these. I will tell you this much, they are salt dough ornaments. Hugs, michelle

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Spike is stopping by with his little friends to say HAPPY HALLOWEEN to you all! He is all decked out in his little witch hat! He wanted to be just like the other witches! Yes, he IS a boy, but he loves his little hat! Spike likes to dress up for all the holidays! He is too funny!












I also wanted to share a few things I have made in the past. This is one of my first punch needle projects I made a long time ago, with my Dee-Lite punch a dear lady sold to me. She was a dealer, and she sold it to me, and I had no idea how to use it! I finally learned, and then used the smallest needle that came with it to use embroidery floss to make this pumpkin. He took a long time, as I remember. Now I have every punchneedle known to man! I love to punchneedle, but don't get to do it enough. I have some projects almost finished to share with you soon! The yo -yo garland, I made last year.


One more thing,just a little yo-yo- garland with a little pumpkin I made last week. Thanks for stopping, and have a great Halloween! We will try! Hugs, michelle

More Treats for the Sale

I made these for the sale also. I really need to stop. I baked pumpkin cookies, pumpkins breads and chocolate chip cookies also, to sell at the table. I am getting tired! We better have some customers! Anyway, those baskets have peppermint patties in them. I used my scallop punches to make them with. I stamped them, or cut out some of the images to decorate them. The baskets are made from paper lunch bags. I folded them down, carefully, because they are cheap and they rip sometimes, so carefully! When it's folded, it somehow ends up to be about 2 1/2 inches. I covered the front only with dp, and made a handle with cardstock and the dp. Attached with the cropodile and an eyelet. Stamped the image and matted it till it looked good! Fill the bag with a plastic bg for filler, then use the shreds, add your candy, and you done! Hope you love it! Hugs, michelle
