Nice Adult Halloween Idea

I found this today. I thought it looked like a good idea for an adult party. It didn't seem very kiddie friendly but great for setting a mood for, maybe, an adult costume party.

The pumpkins are painted with metallic paints and sewn with fancy fabric.

Have fun !!!

Address for directions are below.

Cute Crochet Blanket

Crocheted Pencil Afghan

I saw this pattern today. You can download the PDF file from the site below. I think this would be a great gift for a student, teacher, or writer that you love. It looks like it would take some time to finish, so start now, if you want to get it finished in time for Christmas.

Recipe Blog - Dessert First

I discovered this blog today. The latest post is of a Plum and Almond Tart. Doesn't the picture look tasty? This is her picture I borrowed from her site to show you how great this recipe looks.

Another post has a recipe for Greek Honey Macaroons that look just as wonderful. This lady has a very cute dog with pictures included on her blog, too.

I hope you visit and enjoy it as much as I did.


I am sorry I have not been posting as much as I wanted to over the summer. I had to put my computer in the computer hospital for a long time and school is back in session. I will post as often as I can but it will definately be more than I have in the last few months.

Take care and Have Fun !!!
