Elsie kindly asked if I might contribute to her “Tricks and Treats” guest-blogging series on her site, and of course I jumped at the chance to do anything having to do with that little lady!

Check out TWO tutorials I created over at her blog! Sorry I posted it so late here. I’ve been out all day!

At first I wanted to make Mummy Mitts… but then I thought it might be too complicated for crochet beginners, so then I wrote up a Daisy Headband project, and then I couldn’t decide between the two, so I sent both to Emma, and both got posted so you get double the fun! 🙂

Here are two extra mummyriffic photos:

The flower head band looks like this and is SUPER EASY to make! I have actually been wearing it a lot, but I didn’t want to post any photos until the tutorial went up!

Instead of doing anything Halloweeny today, my cousin, his bestie, Hairy, and I drove to Napa Valley to go sparkling wine tasting at Domaine Carneros and to eat dinner at Ubuntu, with a spontaneous stop at Chandon. It was a pretty delicious and decadent day. Hairy and I were going to see Saw 3D, and the boys were going to go clubbing, but everyone ended up kinda sleepy and there wasn’t a late enough movie for us to catch. Oh wells!

You know me. I’m really more of a dog person…

Heheh, hope you guys had a good Halloween!

I went to dinner with my family (non-Halloween related) and then out with my cuzcuz, his bestie, my bestie, and Hairy to the Castro, had some champagne, bopped to some music, saw lots of guys in their underwear, saw some other more Rated X Stuff, ate more food. Successful evening!

I snapped a Photobooth pic of my yarn wall earlier today. My craft room is still totally not where I want it to be yet. This is a long process!! I need to buy more shelves. I have too much STUFF, but I need it and use it and can’t be rid of it!

Also, I painted my nails rainbow today. I rarely take the time to paint them as evidenced by what my friend Kera calls my “crack ho nails,” always chipped and in a horrible state. I feel like when you work with your hands, it’s hard to sit down and take a moment to wait there for your nails to dry. Anyway, a few ladies were talking about rainbow nails on Twitter, so I had to give it a try!!

I was bummed that my beloved Orly “Blue Collar” blue nail polish seems to be different now. The formula seems thinner, and the color is much darker :(. The yellow “Spark” is AWFUL. SO uneven even after three coats. The pink is still uneven, too. Time to find a new favorite blue nail polish.

I feel like if I hosted my own TV craft show, I would wear outfits like this:

DollyBeast had an online garage sale, and I snagged this kitty top and giant glasses from her. I think I have to lose 10 lbs to fit in the sweater properly. All my stuff is hanging out the bottom! AHAHAH. She’s donating money from her sales to a non-profit, so check some shizz out!

I drew the winner on random.org!

Thank you so much everyone! I always feel so badly when I see all my friends enter and there can only be one winner. I will super duper try to have more giveaways!
