Halloween pics!

I am getting them up on time yay! I woke up WAAAY early this morning, everyone is still asleep, so thought I would have some quiet computer time to myself, shhhhhhhhhh.....

This is Adrian's preschool class, they had a Halloween party right before we went home. From L to R, Gavin, Ava, Adrian, Natalie and Kassidy (Gavin's twin)



They were singing us a fews songs



Adrian wanted to be a princess, but she wanted to wear Miss Angie's (teacher) costume, not the one we had at home LOL! So we went to preschool with no costume, but when we got there, she wanted to be a "fighter-fighter" instead :) And she would NOT let me turn the fire-hat around the right way!



We went Trick-or-Treating of course, and it didn't rain YAY!





Aaron was fascinated by this display, it had two ghosts that went up and down on a motor. He would have stayed there all night! We spent more time last night looking at the moving decorations!

Misc pics from yesterday

I noticed our leaves look so pretty and here is a pic from my driveway



Also, roasted a couple chickens for dinner this week, and turned one into chicken noodle soup today, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

"Green" Grocery Bags

Since my first bag the other day, I decided to use Google and see what kind of patterns I could find. The idea of using my stash of misc fabrics to make grocery bags for myself sounded appealing. I came across this information and was blown away!

"...data released by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 2001 on U.S. plastic bag, sack, and wrap consumption, somewhere between 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year. Of those, millions end up in the litter stream outside of landfills—estimates range from less than one to three percent of the bags."

Wowzers! I know how many are cluttering up my kitchen right now, ack.

So now I am for sure maing my own grocery bags. I think I may even find some fun and funky fabrics at J's and list a few on Etsy!

Here are a couple I made today









Yeah, I noticed the pattern was upside down AFTER I cut it, oops!

Lil baby bag

Ok I had to make another one LOL! I have no idea what I am going to do with this one, but this Amy Butler fabric was just begging to be used and I only had a little scrap piece left. What can i say, I am home alone since dh took the kids to his grandma's house and I can do whatever I want!! ;)

Trick or Treat bag

I was inspired by my friend Mandi to make on of these and it turned out so good! I was going to make 2 but I decided to line the inside wth the 2nd fabric, so now I have to go back to Joann's, oh how sad ;)
I practiced first on the purple fabric, which I am use for grocery bags. Maybe I will throw a few more together and list them on Esty!
