Spooky Season - Halloween Costume Resources
Spooky season is upon us! The skeletons are emerging from storage, the ghosts are being hung on the trees, and tombstones are littering the yards. Fall is coming! Though it was 87 yesterday, so maybe not quite yet. I just love this time of year. Every fall my Grandmother would make what she called "can plus" soup. She started with a regular can of soup, whatever kind, and then kept adding things to make it her own creation. It was nothing like the original soup when she was done, but way better. I do the same thing with costumes, I use pre-made basics and then I add to them. If the costume needs a black body suit, I'm probably not going to make it. I'll buy one and add the other costume elements to it. Making the best use of my time and always making sure to buy a little big for extra warmth layers. Over the years my kids have asked me to turn them into so many different creatures and characters. I often had to figure them out at the last minute. So, I took those patterns and made them available to you, to help make your Halloween a bit easier. Halloween Costume Resources

They are human sponges for knowledge, as long as it's not coming from Mom.... another eye roll. (I wonder if their eyes hurt from all that eye rolling. :-) ) Even though they don't want me to be the expert, they love learning from other people. We use this strategy at girl...

Hi, Reader! Something NO ONE tells you about crafting with a Cricut machine is the technical side of things. And if you do not have naturally strong skills with a computer (and even if you do), learning your Cricut machine can seem overwhelming and even down-right impossible when you are new to it or just trying to level up. BUT don't give up because I have something that will help you learn how to overcome that overwhelm and start to craft confidently with your Cricut machine. I'm so excited...
