Dia de los Muertos Monitos

I saw these adorable little felt skeleton people in a magazine. So I decided to make a few. They were easy, fun, and relaxing to make. I didn't make them exactly the same but I hope I did justice on them Jeane! Thanks for the idea.

Move over Zelda!

Look what Daddy did for the 4 legged children!

He got some fake pumpkins from Michael's and a light with cord from Home Depot and carved these pumkins for our Bulldog and Chihuahuas. It took a while but I think they came out great! Since they are fake we can put them out year after year!We got the free downloadable patterns at bhg.com (Better Homes and Gardens)

Little Sack Boys

We rented a game called Little Big Planet for Play station 3 and I just fell in love with this little character. It just so happened there was a pattern online on how to make him. These are the first two I have made but I'm am getting new ideas for all the ones that I am looking forward to making. I think it will be a cute Christmas gift for all my nephews and my friends children. Very quick to make and easy to work on at Starbucks! That is always a bonus!

just loving this sewing stuff!

I started to learn to sew making bags I have made 7 already! I sold one already. I am getting tired of making the same bags so I tried a new style this one with the owls. I just love how it came out I may have to keep this one. It is made out of corduroy and the inside is brown with teal polka dots and a pocket inside with the owls inside. Just wanted to share.

Vida de los muertos

I am really getting excited for fall.I like all the holidays, cool weather so I will be able to walk the dogs more often and all the family gatherings. I went to Joann's craft store yesterday and they already have Thanksgiving stuff for sale. Just a reminder of how fast time flies by. I found some great fabric for Dia de los Muertos or All Saints day. This is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and by Latinos living in the U.S. and Canada. This holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It begins on November 1st and All Souls' day which occurs on Nov. 2nd. Traditions include building private altars honoring deceased, using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite food and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts. I went to a sewing class with my niece today and begin to make these purses/bags and I am still deciding which one I want to keep for myself. It was alot of fun and quick once I got the hang of it. Thanks Jessie for inviting me today!
