i can't even put into words how elated i was to see these!!!

he has supported me from the humble beginnings of the bunnyz & myself.

thank you from the bottom of my BuNnY MoNsTeR makin' heart.

Halloween Experts

* More than 1/3 of all Americans believe in ghosts, according to an AP poll conducted in 2007.

* About 27% of Americans believe that they have seen a ghost or felt the presence of one.

* One in five people believe that witchcraft and spells are real.

* According to Hallmark, about 35 million Halloween cards are sold each year. Most of these are sent from grandparent to grandchild.

* The earliest Halloween cards in the U.S. are from around 1908.

* According to U.S. census information, there are approximately 36 million potential trick or treaters between the ages of 5 and 13.

* The world’s record for the largest pumpkin was set in 2009 by Christy Harp from Ohio, with a pumpkin that weighed 1,725 pounds (roughly the same weight as a 1967 VW Beetle).

* The average American consumes 24.5 pounds of candy per year, much of it during the Halloween season.

* The fear that trick or treaters will receive candy tainted with poison, needles or razor blades is based on an urban legend, and not on fact. Researchers have been unable to verify a single case of contaminated candy that killed or made a trick or treater seriously ill.

* The fear that black cats are in danger of being sacrificed by a satanic cult on Halloween is also unfounded. Satanic cults are more frequent in fiction than in fact, and the few documented cases of abuse can be attributed to disturbed individuals, usually loners.

be safe & have a wonderfully frightful night...

well...our household has been sick for a week now...
it started with munki and made its way to me and is
finishing up its final leg on the hubby...
i finished up a custom today...
and am sending that off...

the rest of the week will find me sewing like a mad woman
to catch up on HaLLoWeEn orders.

speaking of HaLLoWeEn...

isn't the picture above AWESOME?
click on it
to see more of the amazing-ness that is the poppy tree...

and check out her sister's awesomeness over here...
boopsie.daisy

both have flickr accounts that are beyond drool worthy
& as an even bigger bonus...
they both have etsy shops where you can simply
push a few buttons, pay a little tribute and then own
your own magnificent creations by them.
its quite obvious that talent runs in the family...

have a splendid monday & a superb week!!!

well, it's monday again...

and it's the beginning of a brand new week.
i rather enjoy mondays, seeing them as a fresh start.

and this monday finds me...
~laying out a bunch of new fabric
~cutting out felt circles for zombie eyes
~cutting gauze strips for mummy bunnyz
~cutting frankenbunny faces out
~cutting felt fangs and rounded teeth
~doing some button sorting...
(i find it amazing that i have hundreds upon hundreds of buttons
and can rarely find exactly what i need)
~working on a little secret project...

and that should be a good start to the week...

my amazing friend, Lorell (whom i rave about quite often)
has made me fall in love with yet another one of her creations...
(well in this case, 10 of them)
check out the eeriefae...




and i am working on a new project...
due mostly to Lorell's monster dolls...
(aka thrift store baby dolls revamped)



click on the above pic to go to Lorell's blog and see
some more of her amazing Halloween decorations!

***both of the above pictures belong to Lorell***


so...have a fabulous beginning to a beautiful week...
