Halloween Wedding


I have not been this excited by something in a long time . . . Friends of ours are getting married on all Hallow's Eve and costumes are encouraged! We are going as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. We all know the coy act that Red put on was just an act, the little tramp. However, as I'm a real stickler when it comes to classic children's literature, I'm going to play it straight up. Full wool cloak (in a brown hunters plaid) with the red velvet capelet and hood. I'm even going to attempt to make a pair of medieval anglo saxon shoes that button on the side. I'll have to see if I can find some soft leather scraps for those. Billy has the full Bad Wolf mask and is currently searching for the tackiest of suits at Good Will and the Salvation Army. I'll post pics as soon as I get them. For now, this pic will just have to suffice, LOL.

Jack's club chair

Billy and I had moved some furniture around a few months ago which resulted in Jack losing his favorite chair. It ended up in the foyer, a place that Jack can't access. All of the other furniture (much to his dismay) has been sprayed with this amazing cat repellant which really does keep his hairy ass off of things. In any event, out of courtesy, I moved this chair back into the livingroom last week to make room for one of our neighbors who was moving out. Jack wasted no time in getting reaquainted with his beloved old club chair. He has been living in it for the last week and we haven't had the heart to put it back out in the foyer. So, Jack has two loves in his life, eating, and his beloved chair. I think he loves us too, but not as much as the chair. It's alright, the chair is home more than we are. LOL
