By day, my sweet, innocent grandson Kaleb.....



By night, the infamous Captain Hook!



I am proud to say that he was the only Captain Hook at his preschool's Halloween party. He did meet up with Peter Pan and Tink though. He and Peter had a sword fight later that had to be broken up. He had a wonderful time and the costume survived the entire night. Score one for Meme.

Here is a pic of the cover I made for myheating pad this weekend. I have had it forever, it is my friend. The original cover died years ago. I kept saying I was gonna make another instead of wrapping a towel around it whenever I needed to use it. I finally got around to getting it done. I made it out of lilac colored fleece with cotton blends for the applique. I just drew the owl, cut out the pieces and machine sewed them on. I am pretty happy with it. Not a very good pic, but you get the idea.

New outfits for my dolly fashionistas.....

These patchwork trimmed towels from Sew4Home would make a fantastic gift! I want some.

On ebay now...

Most of us crafters have probably made a tag or two, but for those who have not, The Feathered Nest has an awesome tutorial on making them. You probably already have everything you need right at home. These make gorgeous gift tags. You can make them to match your gift wrap.

These Halloween mini books by Elle's Studio are terrific. I think I will need to make one every year for Halloween for my grandson. ( who by the way STILL has not decided what he wants to be for trick or treating. Times a wastin', and my sewing hours are limited.)

I would like to show you the results of the Belindy swap that I participated in over at primraggchatters. It is a lively group with a bunch of very talented ladies. ( thanks Shagsy for all you do.)

Anyway...
this is the Belindy I made for Susie...



and here is the adorable Belindy Susie made for me...



Susie meticulously recreated a Belindy that belongs to someone else in the group. (with permission of course). She did a perfect job. Thanks again Susie for being so thoughtful. By the way folks, Susie sews all of her dolls by hand. Yep...with a needle and thread. Now THAT is dedication.

This Miniature Purse Project is so cute!
