Tricks & Kits

Tonight's Halloween, so let's get the tricks out of the way.

Trick 1
 Create a 'bone-man' costume from a thrifted unitard.

 Kevin painted the bones on Philip's costume freehand.

Did I ever tell you he was an art major?

Then he sewed gloves for Owen out of craft foam.

It was a trick getting the tension straight on my sewing machine after that!

Yeah, he was feeling pretty good about himself.

Owen decided he was making his own costume this year.

 With a little help from Grand-dad & my glue gun he turned himself into

'Greymatter'

(unless you are a 6 year old boy you will have no idea who that is)

 Another trick......

Getting these kids to clean out a pumpkin.

I had to brake out the sandwich bags.

Sad.

Now for the kits.

I taught an Altered Holiday Slipper class last week, so there were kits to be made.

It was a smaller class so I was able to spend more time on each one.

A unique bag to suit the personality of each girl.

A sassy bag for a sassy girl.

My friend Nicki, see the resemblance?

We had a great day.

A little shopping,

a little creating,

& a lot of laughing.

That makes for one fine day!

While I was working on my kits, the kids had their own to make.

17 each.

That's a whole lotta goodie bags!

They also made each one special.

I think they worked way harder then I did!

I can't believe I posted a picture of my filthy floor.

Boy I wish I knew photoshop!

Earlier today I posted a new online tutorial.

They are for sale in my etsy shop.

I also listed some kits, but I think there is only 1 left.

I'm working on more tomorrow.

Since it's Halloween I have a treat for you.....I promise, this is the last post about ballet slippers!

Happy Halloween!
