For a couple of weeks,

I have been meaning to introduce you to 2 of my

favorite Halloween pals. Some time ago I acquired them & gave them names.

Come on say hello to Flirty Frank (on the left)

& his ONLY friend Scary Sam. Together they make a pair!

They are both more orangey than what they appear

in the photo's. No matter what I tried I couldn't seem

to get a good pict of them both. Flirty Frank is a pillow but is firm

enough for pins to be stuck into him. Look at his mug - how

could you not adore him! When I was given

Scary Sam - he was hooked onto a basket. He didnt

like it there so I yanked him off! I dont know

what scary sam is stuffed with - but it is extra firm & is not

poly-fill. I think that I like them

both as pincushions. To stay around my house they need a job!

MY GOODNESS TIME FLIES...

when you are busy - sorry guys I didnt realize that it

had been so long between posts. I have been working on my

next projects - I will show them to you once I have finished it.

In the meantime I wanted to post

my Poms online & to show you the newest member of our

clan. Please welcome Kane - our little 1&1/8th pound puppy. He is so

adorable & loving! At night Kane sleeps in a

crate next to my side of the bed. The little darling

doesnt mess up his crate at all. Potty training is going really well!

Meet Kane

Meet A Wee Bit of Curry, called Curry. He loves to have his photo taken.

Meet Pretty Irrational called Ira. Ira is always camera shy.

A ROOM IN DISARRAY....

Yes, this is it - my workstation. My husband is

working on building me a work table & attaching it to the

computer station that he built for us. Plan to skirt the table

when it is finished.

I will show you picts when it is

all done - but what I want to know is - have

you seen it on my desk yet! Yes, of course you see it - but just

in case you havent because your eyes cannot

move away from my clutter -- I am talking

about the wood cup holder - well no longer is it a

cup holder - WOILA - it is a scissor holder! Small to medium

sizes will hang from the lower handles.

My scissors need fobs. Maybe I will attach a pretty

pincushion or strawberry pincushions to the top

of this cup/scissors holder.

Do you

think that you could use this idea. It could be painted,

decoupaged or left as is for you to enjoy next to your cutting

mat. Be sure to click on each pict for a larger view.
