Better Late Than Ever!!

I finally managed to finish up my dress for Dress Up 2010!  I guess I had a really hard time trying to decide what the dress would look like-not because of lack of inspiriation, but I really could have put together about a dozen dresses for this month.  I finally decided on a witches outfit to celebrate the season.  I found this great paper I call midnite sky which I used for the base, added some black tule, some cutouts for the base of the dress and added a great little witches hat to complete the ensemble.  I am already thinking about my November dress!

I have started working on some of my Christmas swaps and will be posting pictures soon once they are finished.

It's raining here, and I think this is a good day for doing some art and baking some banana and zucchini breads.  I love to cook and bake when the weather is wet and rainy. 

I need to get moving and accompolish some thing today before the game this afternoon!  Gotta watch me so GIANTS!!!!

GOOOOO GIANTS!!!!

So while I am not an overly enthused fan of the bat and ball-I did manage to catch the game last night, and it was great!  The last time I remember the Giants in the World Series was in 1989 during the Battle of the Bay when both Nor Cal teams, the Giants and the A's were playing.  I also remember the horrible earthquake that hit and the delay of the last three games.  Usually, I consider baseball on tv a very boring thing to watch and I would rather be at the actual game with all the excitement and typical ball park food.  But this game was different.  I haven't watched the World Series since the Anaheim Angels played-and I have to admit I am enjoying the game!  So my short post for today is goooooooooo  GIANTS!!!!!!

Until next time-

Still Trying To Get Caught Up---

I am still trying to get caught up on my commitments-I feel so behind!  I did attend a class on Saturday, a halloween printers box, it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed putting my spin on things!  The worst part was cutting all the papers to fit in the little openings.  Once that was done-I could create.  I have three class lined up for November.  I might make my six "artsy" things and then some resolution for this year.  I also completed and sent off in the mail my tiny coffin for the coffin swap.  I ended up including a bag of halloween goodies for altered art and a happy halloween small sign made from scrabble tiles.  

I am still trying to get my October dress done for the Dress Up 2010 project. By the time I get done with October's, I might as well do the November one also. 

Here are some pictures of completed projects:

 This is one of the chunky atc's I finished for a swap I am in.  I loved working in

the three demenisonal world!  I am stuck on the Alice in Wonderland theme at the moment!  I am working on my second one-a wine theme and will post pictures when that one is done. 

I have also cut out the pieces for a rag quilt with a pink girl/survivor them for a friend at work for Christmas.  Once it is finished I post the pictures of it. 

For now, it is back to trying to finish some commitments for the promised dates.  Happy arting to everyone!
