Ode to October

October

It's time for creepy crawly fun

and dressing up and scarin' some

 

It's time for pumpkins

and

apple crumb...

the little ghosts and goblins scream

YUM!

YUM

YUM!

 

give me some more candy, Mum!

 

I love October....and am feeling

very inspired....stay tuned!

 

 

 

 

Believe in Magic

I believe in Magic....

Do you?

For you, Pumpkin

Love You Pumpkin

I always stick little notes into the girls' back packs and lunch bags...

Even though Summer is 10 she still loves getting a handmade note from mom! 

So today, why not print out this pumpkin above, and slip it into someone's day...

I know they will appreciate it!

Pretty in the Kitchen

I love to cook, I really do. When I am cooking in my kitchen I always wear an apron. Seriously, if I don't, I am usually COVERED from head to toe in whatever I am doing. Even if it's just washing the dishes....Water and soap everywhere...

Cookies? Forget it!

I am covered in flour.

So, thanks to my kids, they bought me my first apron for Christmas a few years back and I have become addicted to wearing them when I am in my kitchen...

These are my top favorites for October and they are ALL from Etsy...

I love them all so much, I might have to buy all three....

Love the orange and black and ric rac detailing. Apron from Loverdoversclothing

How cute is this one with the polka dots? Fun and flirty by Sedona Style

I just LOVE the chevron pattern and the pop of orange here....

this one is by ImaginAprons

How about you, are you wearing an apron in your kitchen today?

Sunday Sketches -Don't Mess with My Candy

Miss  Kitty is very serious about collecting her Halloween loot!

Save me some Pretzel M&Ms ( my new favorite)  - have you tried them?

Anyway, it is Sunday and it's time for Sunday Sketches with Sophia over at The Blue Chair Diary.

Today I am sharing a work in progress of a watercolor of Miss Kitty -  

 Children and animals of all ages can be very possessive of their candy....especially on Halloween....

and Miss Kitty is certainly, no different.

Have a great Sunday!

Hello there,  I have missed a few Paint Party Fridays...but, I am back with a little early Halloween magic...

- just in time for the party over at Paint Party Friday...

Actually, we were in Michael's Crafts the other day...and I have to admit, the girls and I were a tad bit overwhelmed  by all of the witches, goblins and scarecrows peeking out of a few evergreen wreaths coated with candy canes....

Oh well, I

guess it's never too early to think about what costume to wear for Halloween, night, right ?
See you at the Paint Party!
