Although I had wanted to start "this" blog for some time, I had hoped to really get in gear this past summer. Yeah, that didn't happen. Then in early September I came across a reference to challenge to craft something each day of September. (I can't recall what or where, but it did have a cute acronym). That challenge inspired me to start working on some things. Some "crafts" were quick, some took several days. Some projects haven't been finished.
All in all I'm happy to be making some progress. I think I was more creative during this last September than the entire year previous. (Maybe not, but it feels like it).
I've gotten off to a good start in October too if I do say so myself. I've been trying to take photos too so I'll have some illustrations when or if I ever get around to posting about some of the various activities. However, my camera is about to bite the dust and it is really hit and miss as to if I am able to even take photos let along pictures that have major color distortion. I know what I want for Christmas (if I can hold out that long).
"Miss Jane" dressed as Little Red Riding Hood. I made this costume, but I don't think I used a pattern. The cape/hood was made from red felt. I trimmed it with a red and white gingham ribbon. The dress was a cotton print (red with white dots). Just about as simple as I could make it. She wore some warm clothing under the costume this year.
