Goodness me how long have I left it!

So Halloween came and went. We all got dressed up (Even adults we looked gorgeous!!!) We all went on a scary Halloween walk up at the park. I don't have any photos I am afraid. Only of the pumpkin before we cut it into a lantern! I am a terrible blogger!!! So we had a houseful Friday and Saturday night and it was fun. I like chaos.
Oh... and I am to attend a ball! (Don't laugh!) I spent ages trying to find a floor length dress, one that wouldn't break the bank and finally, yesterday I did. It is a dark purple almost aubergine colour, and not fussy at all (which is what I wanted). Today I was on the hunt for a bolero type shrug as I am not a big fan of my arms! I hunted high and low (there's a song in there) gasping at the prices that Debenhams flashed before me, finally ending up in the ex catalogue shop, and there it was, a long sleeved velvet shrug. Exactly my size, the only one in the shop and a bargain price of £10.99.. only when I got to the counter it was in a sale and only cost me five whole pounds! I can't find any pictures of them so will take some soon.

I went around the charity shops the other week with my friend and he found this bag of half made dolls for me. A couple of them were Venus A Dodge ones, so I treated myself to the book from ebay so I could find out how to finish them!

I also got these bricks for ten pence, which I thought were cute.Oh and these Angels, well I must start thinking about Christmas.

Talking of Christmas, I made a start on my swap for Twiggy but I don't like what I have made :((( so I am hastily trying again, although I have nearly finished something I am making for Twiglet!

Finally it was my friends birthday the other day and he wanted a fruit cake. I asked him if he would obviously much prefer a victoria sponge.. (which I had successfully made the week before for my Mum) but no he wanted a fruit cake. So I made him one. I was quite pleased with how it turned out and so was he!

I hope you are all well and happy and I look forward to catching up with you all soon in the next couple of days.
