a constant project

A perfect call day is sunny, but crisp. You get to spend the morning searching for the perfect pumpkin (or pumpkins) in the patch. Then a little pie from the Snohomish Pie Company.

And, finally an amazing Husky game where the dawgs annihilate the ducks. (A girl can dream can't she?) I guess 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Anyway, I do love pumpkins and ended up buying 13 different pumpkins and gourds a Bailey's Farm in Snohomish a few weeks ago.

And, I've spent the past few days having a lot of fun with them...

First, I visited my friend Jessica and painted pumpkins/gourds with her 5 year-old son Aidan.

Then, I finally made these minature pumpkin votives. I've had these on my to do list for a while and finally go around to it.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I have always loved playing dress up. Perhaps this is why I started our costumes in early September.

Henry is still at an age where I can push him in the direction I want for Halloween costumes. He loves Elmo and it seemed to be an simple costume. All red clothes with an Elmo hat, right?. Of course Jeff and I could easily be Sesame Street characters too, Cookie Monster and Oscar, respectively.

Those who know me know I'm a fan of team apparel, when done properly. (Please don't get me started on glittery, pink team shirts for women.)

I've re-purposed more than my share of sports t-shirts into scarves, blankets, and skirts, so when Jeff asked me to help him create a Seattle Sounders blazer I was up for the challenge, but not quite sure what he had in mind.
