Halloween Aftermath

Halloween is over.. sniff.. The last few days were hedonistic and my body and mind needs a rest. Our Halloween party was a success (well, at least for me) and we had about 25 people show up.. What made this party so much fun for me was that I did so much food prep before, that I actually didn't spend that much time in the kitchen during the party.. I was able to just heat up stuff and serve it..So much easier.. Our kid was sent to a hotel around the corner with our babysitter and then picked up at 2 am.

What was so great about the party was the effort that people went to for their costumes. Fantastic! Makes me so happy.

But now the decorations are down and I keep thinking "We was robbed!" when I walk into the living room and see how empty it looks. Last night I attended an expat Halloween party but sadly was too tired to get too wild..And so now it is November 1st and Halloween is over for the year.. Sad face :(

But since Christmas is around the corner, I am happy again. There is so much to do in so little time.. As I mentioned earlier, I am making a lot of Christmas gifts this year so I am going to be swearing and threading bobbins and learning how silk screen. Oh joy!

It is a foggy, cool morning, which means I will be making curtains and a teddy bear from old maternity pants. Tis the season to craft..
