What's new Tuesday

I took a few days off because, well, it was Halloween, and it was the weekend.  I finished my class with an A, and began another one.  So far, so good.

So, Halloween has come and gone.  I dressed up my niece for the occasion.  She wanted to be a witch.  It was really easy to do the skirt.  I followed this tutorial and just made the stripes longer and added ribbon, lace, cheese cloth, etc.  It was fun and easy to make.  For her cape, I took 1/2 yards of material, turned over the edge, made cuts about 3 inches apart, unfold and weaved in some yarn and presto, a cape.  For her makeup:  I winged it.  I did buy some green face paint, and made some black paint using shortening, corn starch and black craft paint. We used orange hair spray and ratted the heck out of her long hair.  Take a look at the transformation...she is such the drama queen.

The final look...isn't she just frightening?  She had a blast trick or treating and Aunt 'Sheld had a blast fixing her up.
Until next time.
