My little monster boys and girls always have this Victorian or English feel to me. It's gotta be stuff like Edgar's velvet trousers :D

Tomorrow and Obscure Hollow



It was an inside day here, rain and kids not so swell. I have things for tomorrow because I had time to sew.

I got this pic from Obscure Hollow :D Really, if you love old scary movies you really should go there.

Pirate Jenny and Monster Moe



I haven't made a pirate in a while so here's Jenny. And Monster Moe has cool button eyes.

New kids





Two are up at the Etsy Betsy, the other two later.

Kids at home and Voodoo Doughnut








My little one doesn't have school today but the older one is home, not well. I'm telling you this had better be the last of the sickies for the year! Some years we get a cold once, some years it seems at least 5 times!
Anyway, there is this funky doughnut shop in Portland called Voodoo Doughnut and I took some photos of it. It's a small shop, a hole in the wall kind, downtown.

Purdy Day



Gosh! What the sun and fresh flowers can do to lift spirits!

Grrrrrr




I'm so mad at myself!! I had this funky idea to sew on this paperback book cover face to a voodoo doll and I done screwed it up! I was so excited that I didn't think about when I'd have to turn it inside out! Sunnuvabee. Of course it got all wrinkly! Next time I'll affix it after the doll is sewn up right side out! Dammit. But she still looks fun and she'll hang around as inspiration for more as soon as I can scout summore faces :)
One of the shows my daughter watches says when you're mad count to ten..... one, two, three......blah blah blah.
