Bigfoot, Alpacas, Swap, and Rhine

First up we have my older son's Halloween costume- Bigfoot! I had to put everything else on the back burner the last week and a half so I could get it done for him. Turned out pretty good I thought- I even designed some big feet for him to wear over his shoes. It was fun for him! The girls wore girly costumes again this year. They are the two small ones in purple costumes. The others in the picture are my little niece, my nephew and his friend from school.

Alpacas! A few weeks ago I took an afternoon to drive up to the mountains to a local (at least in our area it's local- 1.5hrs away) Alpaca farm. It was great fun, they even had some very new babies. My older daughter- M- decided that now she wants 5 mommies, 5 daddies, and 5 black babies- too cute. Why 5- I don't know, but that's what she wants :)

Here's a pic of the roving I dyed up for the Spindlers list Halloween Swap. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed doing it- can't wait for the next one! This was colored in some of my favorite candy colors- Peeps! It was colored after the Spooky Cats, Cocoa Bats, and marshmallow Ghosts. although the cocoa turned out more plummy than I intended it was really pretty!

Now the rhine- yes that's right- RHINE! It's a ranty whine- so if you don't want to hear it, tune out now and thanks for stopping by :). I have a place that I rent out and I'm getting so tired of it. Seems like I only get people in who try to screw me over. There must be writing between the lines of the lease that I can't read and it says "Go ahead and screw her over- she can't afford it and even more- she can't afford to do anything about it when you do" Renters suck! OK- that's about it. I don't like to go off too much- it doesn't do any good for me anyway, but I feel like I let off a little steam. Thanks!
