Cinderella...

All three girls are going to be Cinderella for Halloween.

Each one will be dressed in a different costume from the movie...

Megan will be the little maid...

I think she needs a mouse.

so I am making a little felt mouse,

is she not the cutest thing!

and a mop bucket...
made with paint sticks and a Christmas bucket...

Leah will be dressed in the Blue gown, and it lights up! ...

and

Emily will be dressed in the Pink gown...
we figured if the mice could make one, so could we...

still needs its bows.

Keeping my hands busy...

working on these dish towels at work...

some thing to keep my hands busy while answering the phones...

instead of snacking.

Nailed It...

 

I saw this on Pinterest last year... from "Prudent Baby"

I started hemming the pieces last year but it took me until now

to get it finished.  

 

first layer, I attached mine to a piece of flannel. 

It was alot of gathering...

two more layers gathered, waiting to be attached...

next two layers waiting to been sewn...

three layers attached...

last two layers gathered...

one more to go...

finished... Love it!

I have entered my Pinterest Inspired Challenge at "the CSI Project",
please take a look at all the othe wonderfully creative entries.

Making decorations...

whenever the girls come over we try to do some kind of craft...

they were painting with water colors...

then I had an idea:

1.  I collected various large paint chips from Home Depot, in various fall colors.

2.  Made up three different leaf patterns.

3.  I cut out a pile of leaves and two Wreath shape.

a little paste and a bow made from an old shower scrunchie...

Leah's

Emily's

Voila'... Free Fall Decoration!

STOP...

and smell the flowers...
