I have had my first Hooker moment!

I had 48 hours till the fall solstice and my daughters were already talking to me about the ideas they had for their Halloween costumes. All I could think about was how this year has flown by. Weren't we just watching money go up in the air and blow up into pretty bursts of sparkles? Now we are thinking about candy and turkey and ... OMG how many days do we have till Christmas??!!?? Yes time has flown by and that means one thing ......... I am getting old. No more years dragging on and the feeling of time to spare. Oh heck no! Valentines Day then ZOOOOOM " to old acquaintance be forgot". *sigh*

Now where was my train going? Oh ya! Costumes! Teh girls are going with a steam punk theme this year. I love that the girls coordinate their costumes. They have done it a few times and it is always so awesome. Beth will be Harliquin , not her sister LOL! and Harli will be Venus Mcflytrap who is like Ivy. Cool huh! I talked with them and got ideas on what they needed me to make and got started on the hats so we have time to find things to embellish them. Harli's was easy. I made it two tone green to give it a crushed velvet look from afar. Beth , oh boy I love her vision, I had to write a pattern for hers. I had to frog a few times but in the end I was VERY happy with it. I even posted it on my yarn Idol's facebook page AND guess what!!??!! He shared it and said it blew his mind!! I squeed when I saw this. * breaths *  One of my best Hooker moments! So you wanna see them?? Do ya do ya??

 
 
 
I can not wait to see what the girls do to embellish them. Next I make spats and corsets. Thank goodness they gave me a lot of time cause I have client orders AND a bazaar to get ready for. But I must remember that time flies. ZOOM!

Speaking of it is after 1am. EPPP! I am going to find my pillow.
Night my freaky darlings!! AND Happy Autumn Equinox!
