I’ve been doing more sewing lately than art! Some might argue that sewing is an art form itself but it just feels a bit like work to me. I love to see the end result but I hate the pesky things like measuring, pinning, hand stitching. You get the picture. These are the 2 items I completed today. I’m pretty sure my kiddo won’t see my blog so I feel this is safe to share. It’s a pillow I made from a t-shirt I bought that likely wouldn’t have fit him until he has outgrown his Mario obsession…one can only hope.

The other is a set of placemats for our kitchen table. We are trying to save it from some of the abuse it gets…it’s only 3 years old and already has that “distressed look”.

Oh good…my least favorite holiday. I LOVE Fall but hate Halloween. The candy, the costumes, the spooky decor. I wish I could skip it all.

Don’t get me wrong, I love kids…especially mine ;) but the absurdity of this holiday really gets to me. To dress up and take your kid house to house and beg for candy iritates me so much.

All year long we tell them “don’t talk to strangers” “don’t take candy from strangers” “don’t walk around outside(espically on the road) at night” “be nice” “be kind” “be gentle” “don’t scare people” But for tonight…forget all the rules!!

Of course, even with all my complaining, I jump right on the stupidity bandwagon. My kids are going to be Nintendo’s Mario and the classic Little Red Riding Hood. We made Jack O’lanterns (which have nearly rotted on the front steps), bought candy and decorated the living room with pumpkins.

Just so today wasn’t a complete waste of time…I transformed my new (on clearance), boring brown file holder.

I’ve been busy messing up my nice clean and organized art zone.

First I made this clock for my Mario Bros. obsessed son. He was so funny when I gave it to him…he smiled so big and then did a fake pass out to show his glee.

My next project was a new address book. Our old one was your basic boring black faux leather. I found a REALLY ugly binder at a garage sale that would fit the bill as soon as I spruced it up a bit. Now I can keep my book out on the counter instead of buried in the drawer.
