I LOVE little girl dresses! This material caught me and wouldn't let me leave the store until I bought a yard. It is corduroy and perfect for fall.

Halloween is at the top of the list for me. I lay awake at night designing costumes, cooking goodies, and constructing crafts for October 31. I haven't discovered a use for these drawstring bags I made, but will probably be filled with something sweet.
