There is an aged hat with sweet annie and cheesecloth around the brim. There is a spider pin...along with other assorted pins. Around the mannequin shoulders is a black cheesecloth shawl with witchy cameo. Her skirt is made from all kinds of trims like yarn, old paper, ribbons...and many glittery black stars.

Seattle trip

We are back from our Wonderful trip to Seattle. We had so much fun....going to the space needle, many museums, pike place market, watching a mariners game (where we each got a bobble head free, the navy parachuting in, and winning the game), going to pioneer square, and the piers. My daughter loved swimming in the hotel pool and ordering pizza! WE loved going, but are so glad to be home, sweet home. Not to offend any Seattle folks, but there are many crazy people on the streets and it is soooo busy too...and coming back to Spokane, we felt more at ease. There were many talented street musicians, and the fish throwing is always fun. This wonderful picture is a cool calendar: http://www.seattlewatercolors.com/

I got many cool items: like a Marie Antoinette type jeweled necklace, market spice tea, chocolate treats, art, glittery butterflies that I will hang in my studio, books, and more.

I will have more Halloween goodies posted in a few days!!!!

Halloween Collecting

Here are some of my Halloween collectibles... I like vintage decor and I love making new items to add to my Halloween display.

I love crepe paper and party streamers!!!! They are fragile, yet beautiful.

These are some vintage Halloween party noise makers and candy container....love that face!

I watched Dark shadow reruns growing up....so much fun....I have the dark shadows board game and we love to play it...as long as no one spills a drink!

I love Halloween candles too, It reminds me of the old days....when my oldest sister would never burn her candles and I was dying to see them lit up! She had the coolest pink elephant candle, that never was lit!

New Grinning Pumpkin pattern

This is my newest pattern, available on etsy, ebay, and patternmart. This has some of my favorite elements.....grunging to make it primitive, party streamers, party hat, and buttons. I also love adding glitter to my items, since I feel like I am a glitter Queen. One of my work tables in my studio is always covered in glitter!

My Slugger

This is my daughter's last softball game tonight....the "Sea Monsters" rocked!!! She loves playing each year with her team. This is their 3rd year. The girls learn soooo much each year and most the dads try to help out where needed. My husband, Selina's dad, loves to help, as 3rd base coach. I love to watch and cheer!

Halloween is so much fun to work on, but a little strange making these when it is 88 degrees!

I will have three more different ones to put on in a few days. I also have a new Halloween stitchery that will come out soon and some more surprises as well. Sometimes when I am making Halloween items and it is not fall yet...I put on scary movies or my favorite halloweeny record- Dark Shadows (the soundtrack from the old tv show). I love my old records!!!!

Happy 233rd Birthday America!

I know I am a little late on posting for the 4th of July, but better late than never! WE had a spectacular fireworks display in Downtown riverfront park in Spokane, Washington. Gone are the days of a firework stand (atleast around here!)...I remember going to the local store and there would be a firework stand, and all of us kids would buy smoke bombs, snakes, and sparklers a week before...letting them off whenever and then mom buying a big box for the 4th. Now it is illegal and you never hear a piccolo pete anymore. Some things are not better now than in the past. oh well, atleast I can tell my daughter about it....she loves those stories!
