Pirate Antoinette

Pirate Antoinette's boudoir of fading silks and toile reveal the decadence of times past.
I think I never did grow up and all those children's books my mom read to me until I could read myself really do come into play now huh? :D A faded toile boudoir...hee hee... Pirate Cats! I am happy that I can make these things and people relate!

Oh! some of these movies I love myself!! And the others I look forward to watching!

VOODOO GIVEAWAY

It was Voodoo Violet's natural look of innocent befuddlement that earned her top respect among other trickster voodoo boys and girls.
It was because of this that Voodoo Violet always got the riskiest prank jobs.


Voodoo Violet measures approx. 6 1/2 inches tall by 5 1/2 inches wide. She is made from recycled fabrics and buttons.

All you have to do is leave a comment naming a favorite movie. I will toss all of the names in a bowl and have my daughter pick it out... Say....on Sunday...Sunday October 19th at 12:00 pm Pacific time.

The colors dust, coal and cobweb

Trixie the Anteater

Hello, I added a new gal today to the JunkerJane plush family... This is Trixie...

Trixie glanced at the hill one final time. Trixie had a plan....it would take more than the usual wiles to get the motherload.

I am thinking because we have a 3 day weekend I may try to get some stuff out. All of my voodoos are gone so I think I will add more of those, too.

Isn't Fall wonderful??

Fall is here!

Around here things got Halloweeny on October 1st!! I couldn't resist masking our two little stone creatures out front. Ahhhh.
I finished a custom rooster today.
I am going to be a scurvy pirate for Halloween and by that I mean a drab authentic one and not a red satin stripe one :D I am doing it from scratch sorta...not sewing something from scratch by piecing it together from second hand stuff. Last year I did a Marie Antoinette that way. It looked pretty damned good, but I really need to set to work NOW because I usually panic last minute :D Even though I do the second hand route it isn't cheap, it still comes out spendy, but it's fun!

Unofficial Break

heya, I think I am going to take a month off. I need to have a break and come back refreshed. Plus I am trying to paint some of the rooms in the house before the real cold weather comes. I don't think I can stand living with these previous home owner colors another winter! They are not hideous or anything, just not me. Not to mention all of the kids activities and this evil 6:00 am alarm ( I have never been a morning person)
So I'll be around but just not sewing much.

:D

It's about time!

Here are two works in progress. I will probably get around to posting them tomorrow.

Do you think it's too early to put up Halloween decorations outside??? :D
I have some great skullys and purple lights!

Hurry October, Hurry!!!
