New Witch Hats!

     I'm hoping to go to LeakyCon, the Harry Potter convention that's being held in Portland this June, so I've been having some fun lately making witch hats.  I've tried both wool and brocade, some with wired brims and some without.  Here are some that I've just listed in my Etsy shop.

I've also been making a cross between a witch hat and my Regency bonnet, a new and bizarre form of headgear I'm calling a "Witch Bonnet."  They have ribbons on the sides that can be tied under the chin like a bonnet or in a bow at the back so the silhouette is that of a traditional witch hat.

Costume Day!

I couldn't pick just one costume to wear to work today,

so I started as Little Red Riding Hood...

...and then traded the basket and cape for

a tricorn to become a pirate.

My little sister wore one of my witch hat fascinators...

...and so did my Mom.

Fabulous hats make for Halloween fun!!!

Seasonal Decorations

With Halloween right around the corner, we've finally got all of our decorations up.  I love our house this time of year, with cute little pumpkins and cats peeking out of every corner.  Here are a few of my favorite sights.
