oh my favorite time of the year! We've had six kids! Oh well...
The funnest thing was that my grand-daughter, Hannah, wanted to be a clown for Halloween and as I'm a clown I offered to help her with her costume. And dear readers - I created it! I took two different pieces of adult clothing - a top that I cleverly added some plastic hosing to and a long silk pleated skirt that I made into pantaloons and voila! A clown was born. My clown name is La Banan - my grandkids call me Grannie Jannie Bananie - and now there is a Hannah Bannah! I am not a sewing type person. Yes, for those of you who pay attention, I do make dolls from time to time and try my hand at other things but really - no. My grade seven Home Ec. (eccchhh!) teacher asked me if I needed glasses. My sister, dear Jude, is a wonderful seamstress - she made my wedding dress. But for me it is all inspiration and no follow-through! But I did it and my little clown was delighted. Then I came home and donned my witch costume and greeted six!!! little goblins. My SP's sister is here and we're all going to eat a yummy meal he made and then I'll change into my jeans and take the dog for a moonlit spooky walk. Later my pals.
