Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

It's upon us.

Hope your Trick or Treating is wonderful tonight.

I thought when I wrote today I would have that above pillow finished.

It's not.

I'm still embellishing.

Nothing like making Halloween crafts on Halloween. 

But then I've made Christmas decorations on Christmas Day before.

I was snowed in one Christmas and couldn't get to the house where I'd be celebrating.

I was depressed for a moment and then decided to make stuff!

So my life never goes as planned...even when it seems fool proof.

I had yesterday all to myself...all day....no interruptions so I could finish painting the 

living room and make this pillow.

Wrong.

My sister showed up in the am needing me to create business cards for her.

She has a craft show she is doing this weekend and wanted new cards.

Did that...had to go buy ink for the printer and help cut them and glue on 

gems to each one. Her concept. 

I wanted to scream that if she'd only planned ahead, I could have sent the art

off to be printed online and we'd have had none of the hassle.

Oh..well...as my Mom would say...

That is just your sister!

I think they never say this about me as they always want me to conform to their plans.

I seem to always need to change my plans and no one says....

"Oh..that is just your sister!"

So I didn't start painting till 3pm!

3pm!!!!

I ran out of paint at 8:30pm.

So....here I am another day without that finished.

I thought I was working today but nope...they didn't need me.

Can you imagine?

I have plans of course for tonight with it being Halloween and all..

So I decided to make a pillow. 

But that didn't happen till after noon because my friend came to pick up her dog.

Now I have to quit to get ready for tonight so 

the pillow didn't get finished.

I get so frustrated...I feel like I am behind on everything all the time.

Doesn't it seem like all other bloggers are so organized and on top of things 

and early, even?

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.

Most are on to Christmas decor and I'm still fussing with Halloween.

I'll be doing some Thanksgiving crafts....but of course I need to paint 

the dining room first.

See, always behind, always.

Sometimes blogging just makes me feel inadequate.

Wicked Witches

I can't resist looking at artist made primitive witch dolls on Etsy.

They are so charming.

This one looks like she is wearing pajamas.

Oh...I'd love to make one of these.

I'm usually not into primitive stuff...but Halloween is the perfect time to enjoy 

roughly made handmade things.

This is a pretty pumpkin head witch.

This one quite sweet.

This morning I chased Franklin around the yard for twenty minutes trying to get him

back inside for me to go to work.

He is way too smart for his own good. 

He loves to play chase and would run to me and then past or back away

as fast as he could.

He knew I couldn't catch him.

Then he'd get behind the bushes where I could not reach him.

Finally, after a good twenty minutes of trying to catch him...I had to give up

and leave him outside.

Something I cannot stand to do.

But I had to get to work and he was being impossible.

I worried about him all morning while I worked.

I couldn't wait to get home and make sure he was ok.

When I got home...there he was at the backdoor wanting in.

He was very very happy to see me. Lots of kisses.

And he's been sleeping all afternoon.

He wore his self out being outside.

 I wonder if he chased squirrels all morning or just fretted that I was gone?

I'm hoping this taught him a lesson but I doubt it.

How about a jack-o-lantern cameo to wear around your neck?
