Today it's official- there's only 99 days until Halloween 2023. Let the ooky-spooky fun begin! Is it just me or is it hard to feel an October vibe when it's sunny and HOT? A Starbucks PS latte would help but it's still too early for that! My pumpkin patch is loving this bright sunny weather but me? I'm an Oregon girl and prefer cooler weather. I've been seeing new Halloween stuff in stores for a few weeks, craft stores especially. Stores are finally catching on that Halloween really is a BIG thing and have started to put their seasonal stuff out much earlier. Suits me- I'm always looking for fabric with small scale prints for tiny doll dresses. I'm been busy working on a series of Halloween themed dolls using vintage Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls as the base. These very old dolls are being upcycled to for the 21st century. Don't worry collectors- I only use damaged or incomplete dolls for this project. They get cleaned up and then I make colorful wig...
Halloween always sneaks up on me tho the date never changes. This year I'm trying to keep myself on track by keeping a simple blog about the 99 day journey.
