We went to my nephew's first birthday party yesterday morning.  Check out what we were served...

mummies
(These were sausages wrapped in phyllo.  Who knew the hit of the party could be the undead?)
mummies in a blanket

and hashed brains.  (you should have seen our drink!  wowza.  disgusting AND delicious.)

It was so much fun!  Happy birthday, little guy.  We love you!

Later, the Halloween Fairy stopped by to say hello.  I think some little girl must have attacked her face with face paint, but she seems fine with it.

Watch out, little fairy!  Here's a scary mean guy!  He's ready to attack!

Here we have two little garden gnomes who were watched over by a beautiful ocean.  (that doesn't make any sense, I know, but that's how it all went down.)

I was going to put a coral reef and all kinds of ocean-life on this dress, but a woman can only do so much.  She's a hard client to work for.  She had a dress (which was much more complicated) all designed and sketched for me.  It included the ocean on the bottom and trees and birds and sky on the top along with a really cool sun brooch made from toile that would rest on her shoulder and instructions to make it in a similar fasion that I made my curtains.  Alas, this is what I gave her.

Oh, no!  Here comes that mean scary guy again!

Okay, I think the gnomes took care of things.

The gnomes. Oh my, the gnomes. I love that you guys are always creative cool homemade stuff. My kids are so lame that way. They just want to be super heros from the store so badly that I end up giving in and letting them do it. I hope someday they let me get creative!
