Tori, you are absolutely, without a doubt, my favorite blogger. I laugh out loud more times than not when reading your posts. I’m also one those mechanically-challenged, bumbling musicians so I can relate to ol’ Russ. Anyway, just had to let you know your blog is a joy to read. Keep it comin’.

I sent a picture of it to Tori. We’ll see if it’s good enough to be posted. It was fun to do!

FWIW.

And regarding the previous entry with the Halloween pics, Tori’s costume reminds me of a fallen Angel trying to get in good with God again. The flowers are sort of a peace offering on the Angel’s part.

I also didn’t read past the opening disclaimer, but did look at the pictures and and have read the comments.

I wondered when you were going to create on yourself. You done good! It IS fall festive!

I can’t wait to try making one of the sweater pumpkins! There hasn’t been a sweater in this whole house post menopause. Not a one! And we live in Michigan! So, I’m gonna have to go to Goodwill and get one. I’m babysitting today, so I can’t go now. Maybe tomorrow. I hope you don’t skip on to something else before I get my pumpkin made!

Isn’t anyone else gonna try to make one? Come on, you guys! Jonny, I know you are itching to try your hand at one!

My daughter Candy makes a cute craft with old sweaters, which might be why we don’t have any around here left. For a while, you didn’t dare lay your sweater down around her! I’ll get some pictures of her craft idea and send it to you, Tori.

And Emily, you did a great job!!!! You’re so talented in so many ways!

However, since very recently my crafting ability ‘appears’ in homemade bread. I know this is not the same as a decorating item – but you can eat it! :-)
Every now and then I can be crafty for a special project and afterwards this ability seems to go to sleep again.

I’m not crafty in that I couldn’t make these but I do knit and could make the jumpers they are made from.
I just love the ones on Emily’s tweet as well.

My mother was so crafty, she did EVERYTHING and she was always trying to teach me. I just didn’t have the patience. *heavy sigh* I thought things like that were passed down in the genes …. ummmmmmmm …. maybe I was secretly adopted. Anyway, I totally love to decorate!! I’ve checked-out and admired all of your tablescapes and you’re right, the time drifted right-on-by while I was happily off in La-La Land.

Emily did a great job with her pumpkin!

And, Tori, your table is adorably different…..which is always of great interest to me. Being something both adorable and different, I mean.

Now all I need to do is pick up some twine and get to work. Can a pumpkin be pink?

I’m still trying to get one done now for a friend from college. Hopefully the CTS in my wrist will ease up and I can do a little work on it over Thanksgiving break. Being a teacher, I don’t have a lot of time during the work week so I have to wait until a break.

I think there is a part of my brain missing. I don’t do creative. I think creative, I just can’t turn those thoughts into substance. Seriously, those ‘simple’ instructions just leave me all befuddled. I would need this practically demonstrated to me a number of times before I stood a chance and even then it would somehow not look quite right. I’m not exaggerating, I have a lifetime of experience. I stopped even aspiring to be crafty a long time ago. Doesn’t stop me admiring other people’s work though.

I have, however produced some very, very girly little girls who love nothing better than to make things. Top of Beth’s Christmas list is ‘making stuff’ – which I am told has to include googly eyes, lollipop sticks and feathers. I try to join in but what they produce is much better than my efforts… I might need to borrow your sister for a while.

I’m not sure I can make one that looks that good but I might just have to try it.
