trying to be cute and crafty like

first mommy helped decorate my mantle while I pretended to be helpless due to surgery

(soooo not true. nobody would let me do anything! I tried)

then... I decided I wanted to add a little but of lights to make the mantle more Halloweeny

I really wish I had a plug up there that way the lights didn't have to hang down though :-/

Any suggestions??...

next, I met Cassie and her friend Courtney up at U Paint It to paint a Halloween inspired kitchen utensil holder!

This is the pre glaze & fire process!

Finish result to come 10/19

Lastly, I decided to attempt to paint on canvas - Something I haven't done in YEARS.

So ta-dah!

My attempt at crafts
