Bits and pieces of fall and Halloween throughout the house. Lots of old Halloween decorations got kicked to the curb, it's time for more "grown up" Halloween decor. At least that's my excuse. Audrey and Joey dressed up yesterday to go to a Halloween party with Grandma, being the slacker that I am, Joey's costume wasn't complete yet (vampire) so he wore last years Optimus Prime.

A Bowling...dress?



So the boys started their bowling leauge tonight, I didn't get to go, no sitter, though I normally do. I'm not a good bowler, (okay, I'm awful) but I'm a pretty decent cheerleader. My friend and fellow cheerleader says we need outfits, so off I go thinking about the possibilities. An old bowling shirt could be perfect to reconstruct, but into what?
So a googling I go, and come up with..nothing. Seriously? Well, me sitting here in my jammies, with the soon-to-be-husbands bowling shirt on for inspiration (lol), and I've decided his shirt would make a fantastic dress. Being as tall as he is, it hits mid thigh, and with a few tweaks in the sleeves and waist, voila, a dress! I found one fab example on ebay, a real 1950's bowling dress uniform. Since for some reason he said I couldn't cut up his shirt, I am on the prowl for old bowling shirts, or cheap wholesale shirts. I will make a dress or something fun to wear with jeans. Bowling cheerleaders FTW!

Feelin' crafty!
Well, I was on another pillowcase kick tonight. I have a pretty white and pink seersucker pillowcase all done, but Miss Audrey is sleeping on it. So when I was through with that, I finally made another pillowcase dress. I think it turned out cute, being completely unplanned! I bought the fabric forever ago, and didn't know what I wanted to do with it. The ric-rac is from my late great-grandmother, probably 50's era. I think it needs some pantaloons, but I will have to get matching fabric, since more print would be too busy,
