Peanut & Purl: Completed baby sophisticate sweaters

I finished both of the baby sophisticate sweaters. Just in time too...

Halloween Mixtape: Instrumental Ills

Well, Halloween is upon us. I hope you've amassed an incredible playlist of spooky, creepy, unsettling, downright terrifying music--I certainly have. Now, if only I knew someone who was interested in a 14 hour Halloween party, my mixtapes could achieve their destinies. Who knows? A Halloween miracle might just happen...

Make: Fantastic MRS. Fox

So this Halloween I finally got Ben to do a couples costume, how exciting (for me). I am certain he agreed based on two things; first he could just wear his own clothes, and second he saw how much time I had already put in to the  fox masks. Now that I know the recipe, I will take laziness and guilt, throw it into a bucket of festivities and bake a cake of awesome couples Halloween costumes every year!

Allow me to introduce to you our Fantastic Mr. (and Mrs.) Fox, costumes...

Halloween Mixtape: Vintage Villains

Yes, finally. A Halloween mixtape that features not only Monster Mash but also I Put a Spell on You. Jeez, take forever! Well, we're here now, and isn't it just dandy? Now, let's all get together and watch Hocus Pocus. Deal? Deal. 

Book Report: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Truth time. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow isn't a book, it's a short story. Book report fail on my part...or is it? LoSH seems like a pretty fitting end for the Halloween edition of Book Reports. A tale of terror--the bits about the headless Hessian horseman are rather chilling--as well as humor--the bits about poor Ichabod are mostly silly. And I must say that I have a soft spot in my strange heart for Ichabod Crane. He's a super-gawky outsider bookworm nerd, always geared up for delicious free food, totally interested in the occult, perpetually freaking himself out about ghosts, and looking for a lovely heiress to take him away from the dull and penurious life of a school master...

Insta-sista

It's been a cold and murky week here in Spokane. This was my morning commute to the air force base. My, what lovely gloom. It won't be long before the snow arrives and I'm subjected to my yearly tumble down the cement stairs out front. Well, I can't wait. Until then, here's a spooky sampling of my Halloween-ish instagrams...
