Stash Report Week #45 & Halloween

Let's see if blogger cooperates as I some belated pictures to upload! Make sure you look because I may not post pictures of my girls ever again... I'm paranoid, you know, but these are so cute I need to share!

Stash report first:
IN this week: 1 1/4 yard purple star & calico
IN this year: 144 3/4 yards

OUT this week: 4 1/4 yards
OUT this year: 174 1/4 yards

YTD Total: 29 1/2 yards !!!

I finished a hat from Amy Butler and 2 more aprons. Hopefully the aprons are done for a while (at least until DH thinks of another woman who needs one!).

Here's a picture of the fabric I talked about last week.

Then... you know that holiday called Halloween? We were on our own (DH out of town), but I snapped a few pictures of the assistant, lovely as a fairy, and Screamer, who lived up to her nickname! She was supposed to be a cat, but she refused to wear the costume so she didn't trick-or-treat. She's too young for candy anyhow, so she says, "Dang, Mama, what were you thinkin'? Who said I wanted a fuzzy, scratchy hat on my head? I sure didn't! Geroff!"

The assistant said, "I don't want to be a cat." Forget that DH's aunt was lovely and bought cute costumes for both girls. No, no cat today. Instead, "Pretty." Okay, so we'll be a fairy in a borrowed costume. I can do that. We have tights, we have a sweater... we have FACE PAINT? That was for cat faces, not fairies. Sigh. So, we have face paint. What to do for a fairy? I was inspired by bingo-bonnie's face painting at her fall festival. One complication. The assistant still sucks her thumb, and hooks her forefinger over her nose when she does. Okay, re-apply the makeup 3 times before we actually ask for candy.

Of course, she's so beautiful that I can't help but share pictures with you.

the face paint makes her face look like it's glowing. And I think all fairies glow!

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
