Dress Up

SO as you know I work with kids and all they have been talking about is what they are going to be for Halloween. On the 30Th of October the kids and us teachers are going to trick or treat around the reservation and I just have to dress up! I was originally going to dress up as a witch, but I don't want the kids to get scared or get the wrong impression, so I thought long and hard and I really have always wanted to be Little Red Riding Hood! (a vintage version, not a hoochi one) plus its a chance to make some of my costume like my mom always did when we were little. The important part of the costume is the red cape, and I found a pattern online and it seems do-able. I am so excited to get started, and I better start soon Halloween is creeping up :) Here are some pics of my inspiration.

What A Hoot!

So my sister is very much into owls these days, I have been seeing them pop up in home decor and even on purses. I was browsing the net and found many cute pics of owls, you would be surprised how many people collect owls of all types. Here are some of my favorite pics that I found.

HAPPY B-DAY TO ME!!!

Pow Wow

I work for a school on an Indian Reservation, and today we went to their annual Pow Wow. We had a special preview of whats to come this weekend at the casino. All the dancers were amazing, some of the dances were the Grass dance, Jingle Dress dance, and the Fancy Shaw dance. We head a few Bird songs sung by members of the tribe I work for. At the end they invited all of us down to join in a circle and dance with the dancers, it was very exciting!

Trix or Treat!

It has been a while since I carved a real pumpkin! So I decided that this year is the year me and my guy will each get a real pumpkin and carve it to put out on Halloween night. I was looking on Flicker.com for some inspiration, and look at these cool carvings, my sister will love this Betty Paige one :) enjoy!

Papel Picado

This is another project that I am working on for the fair. It is very labor intensive since you are cutting very delicate tissue paper. I have always loved the way these paper banners have looked, I remember going do to Olvera Street in L.A with my family and seeing these banners all along the street, colorful and with such pretty designs. I did some last year for my moms birthday party with a fiesta theme, these are a Dia De Los Muertos theme with two styles of skulls. 10 panels of assorted colors is going for $8.00. I am working on different patters and themes. Leave me a comment If you would like to purchase a banner!
