Halloween is coming!

While we don't have anywhere to go this Halloween and no parties to dress up for, I will be carving my annual pumpkin. Last year we moved literally on Halloween so that put an end to any pumpkin carving dreams. I couldn't even find a spoon let alone a fancy dancy pumpkin carving knife. I've always loved Halloween, accept the one pictured below. My mom decided that my sister and I would go as "salt and pepper" and my brother would be a chef. I guess no one told her that dressing a small claustrophobic child as a pepper bottle would be distressing for said child. I still break out in a sweat every time I season my food…kidding kidding.

Halloween 2013

It's that time of year again! I love Halloween and try every year to make time for carving pumpkins. This year's pattern of choice was scar.

Flamingo

I've always loved Flamingos. They remind me of so many wonderful trips to Orlando Florid as a kid or the time my dad surprised my mom for her 30th birthday with 30 plastic flamingos on our front lawn. As a kid that was way cool!

The Queen of daytime talk shows. I was a dedicated Oprah show watcher by the age of 12, while eating my after school snack. Oh the good old days!

“Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won't do that.”

Charlie Chaplin! A little late posting these but here they are:

My Brother

I brought home my new Brother CE-5000 sewing machine! After much deliberation, I decided on this model. In the start I had my heart set on a PFAFF machine, but for a beginner like me, this is an awesome machine and is full of different stitches, 50 to be exact.

Here it is:
