Collecting Tumbles Weeds

Not your everyday hobby, but my boys claim to have an amazing collection of tumbleweeds. They seem to be drawn to one of our window wells. Once this was noticed it quickly became a collection not to be messed with! It was quite disturbing when they noticed them crushed beneath the snow which is currently piled high about the top of the window well.

Costume Time



I love Halloween and making costumes - soon I fear Primo and Segundo will no longer appreciate my work. The "Costume Negotiations" have begun. Several trips to fabric stores to peruse the pattern books have not yielded any decisions, yet. Primo is leaning towards some type of warrior, while Segundo is most definitely undecided! Soon, I will purchasing and returning patterns until final decisions are made. Then the fun begins, purchasing fabrics and notions, altering the designs for better functionality, and finally constructing the costume! Can't wait!
