Halloween Party to Benefit CAAWS

This is in Baton Rouge, LA.  One of my pet peeves is that blog people don't realize that they are international!  They say, come on down and go to this event/quiltshop/lunch with me.  But I have no idea where they are.  If they tell me they are in a nearby city, or one that I will be in on vacation, it would really help me a lot!

 My dogs have always been put in costumes and humiliated.  We do the Mardi Gras Krewe of Mutts Parade, Santa Photos, The Jones Creek Christmas Parade, Halloween at BREC Parks.  You name it, we dress them up and go!

Bonnie Doon won a $100 basket full of doggy stuff for her portrayal of Bonica Lewinski in her blue dress with the paw stain on it.  She also won a plaque that says she was the Best Dressed Dog that year.

Chloe HATES to dressed in anything, including her beautiful sherpa coat for cold days.  This is as much as she will do.  The Swissys were perfect, they were big and easy going and willing to do anyting for me.  We shall see about DiNozzo and McGee.

And don't forget the Wicked Blog Hop, I will be setting my post out on Oct 30.

Wicked Blog Hop and a Costume Idea

The Wicked Blog Hop is going to be starting soon, you can find the schedule here:

Wicked Blog Hop

and the info for it on the side bar of my blog over there ----------->

(See that cute arrow?  Didn't think I was so computer literate, did you?)

I have a Wicked block coming out on Tuesday October 30.  I thought to find my Ami Simms Halloween quilt and show you that one, but I have searched and searched and searched to no avail.

I will tell you this interesting fact, the Truth Bomb came out this morning and says to me:  You are important, very important.  And just when I was feeling NOT so important.  And I found it it was true!  Carrie emailed me with a sewing problem.  She wanted to make a Grey Lady Ghost costume and didn't  understand what they were telling her to do.  You basically take grey or silvery tulle and make a rectangle the size of you but wide .  Sew it to another rectangle on two sides to make an open ended tube.  And use a grey or silver ribbon to sew a gathering stitch 3 inches down from the top.  That creates a poof of tulle ruffle around your face hiding your neck. The tulle drapes over your shoulders and down to the floor.  You cut out a slit for the arms.

The costume is completed by wearing a pair of grey leotards with the feet cut out and the crotch split for your head.  (Buy NEW ones for this, LOL)  And another pair for your legs.

The best part is to get some grey face paint and a doily.  Place the doily over your face and paint through the holes!  Is that not cool?

And I shall leave you with my personal favorite Vampire!  Barnabas Collins!
