Crafts

I've wanted to make a Halloween wreath for years. Specifically a Maleficent wreath after seeing a couple online that others had made. This year I finally bought all the items I wanted and put one together.



Unfortunately it's thicker/wider than anticipated and won't allow the outer door to close. Andy says he can take the top glass out, but he hasn't done it yet and I couldn't get the screws to turn to do it myself.

I finally finished the baby blanket I've been working on for a friend. I have to figure out when to get it to her as they'll be moving in a few weeks.



It's only the second blanket I've ever done and the first star.

I don't have anything else I'm working on at the moment. Kiley picked out a costume from the store this year, though I may make her a magic orb (she's going to be a witch) and she wants some creepy make up.

I'm trying to find a pattern for a poncho to make for myself, but can't find one I like.

Book #19

( Obsidian Butterfly by Laurell K. Hamilton )

I started it a few days ago. Not sure how well I like it. The story itself is ok, but the writing is a bit lacking. I'm not sure if it's the style I don't really care for or if it's just bad writing. I picked it up from the library sale because it's a stand alone and the author is pretty popular in the genre. I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I read a book from the "best sellers" list, the writing is always terrible.
