"Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. ~ William Shakespeare

“You wouldn't believe
On All Hallow Eve
What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.
~ Carolyn Wells

 

Our kitchen has been turned into a costume factory as friends come over to learn to sew. piles of fabric are everywhere. It's crazy.

Do you enjoy making things? I do, especially the process of figuring things out, like cooking a new recipe. just gather the ingredients and dive in. What we come up with may not be perfect but it just might be interesting.

Wishing you a creative week!
