Welcome Sign with a Twist

Welcome sign

Every one is making a welcome sign right? I jumped on the bandwagon too. In fact, my sister-in-law requested a welcome sign for Christmas 2021. This sign will hang in an outdoor space. I like the result, but I also plan to make some changes for my next one based on what I learned. First […]

First Halloween Baby Costume-Pattern Review

Baby Halloween - Cat

So our little grand daughter is only 2 months old this year but it is her first Halloween. So, she needed a costume to mark her first All Hallows day. I have recently discovered the most wonderful place to get patterns for babies & children called the Peek-a-boo Pattern Shop. The range and uniqueness of […]

Therefore, I made the decision to remove images related to our costumes for this year. Strange how I didn’t make any […]

SteamPunk Halloween 2012

Halloween 2012

So this is the time for me to review our adult couple Halloween costumes that we purchased from buycostumes.com.  Every year, my brother and sister-in-law host a Halloween costume party for grownups. Before I started attending these events, I was reluctant and didn’t really think I’d like it too much.  I enjoyed dressing up when […]
