Halloween 2009

This year I decided to join in...

OMG the internet and porn ...

I was searching for vintage images on googleimages today .. you would think that just putting in vitage in the search box was fairly safe.

Bloomin ell the amount of porn images that come up is annoying. Just as well the child was not stood beside me ...

Knitting and Stitching........

Just back from the knitting and stitching show in the RDS. We (my sister and I) had a wonderful day out, did not spend half as much as other years, I guess the internet helps ! We used to shop for Ireland.

We took in three workshops, braiding - beading - and kantha sewing. The sewing one was a deffinate hit with me, and the lady running the beading workshop was so lovely it was hard not to like it.

So have two projects to finish off tonight - will post up photos soon!

Five days to NYC

Halloween Treats

Take an empty glass jar - these wee ones from Ikea (2.39 for 4) are perfect for the job ....

Cut out two 2.5 inch circles of patterened paper for the sides and a 1.5 inch circle for the top ...

add a plastic embellishment or two or perhaps some wee stickers ...

Fill generously with sweets - hit the euro shop ! - add in a small plastic halloween toy for effect


And finish off with a halloween mini gift tag ....



And you have the perfect little halloween treat ... can be stored on its side or bottom ...
