Handworks Crochet and then Some!

Me n' the Bald Man were invited to the most awesome party last night. Below is a picture of our hostess Cindi with her boyfriend , dancing fool Mark! We had the best time and I want to say thank you to Cindi for including us again this year! My Bald Man! Below is the one and only Dixie! Now we've seen Dixie at Cindi's other parties and we love her! She's always smiling!!! She's just one of those people you love being around! And this lady can dance! Cindi and Bald Man! Cindi's whole house is decorated and lit up like a fancy department store! Its truly beautiful!!! She has a huge tree, lights and garland everywhere.... and even little tiny lit up houses and towns all over. Below here is Kippy. We love seeing her too! A really good, fun person! Me... and I didn't even get a good pic of my new bustier I finished up! I'll get some good ones soon. I've decided to make it my official holiday outfit! At home........

Most of our Halloween was celebrated on Saturday night. We were invited to a party at a friends house, Caryn, ... who went ALL out to see everyone was entertained and had a fabulous time. I wish I had got a pic of her and her hubby and some of her decorating (which was the most fabulous I've ever seen!) But with all the party action I guess I'm lucky we got took time to take these pics! Ofcourse I did make sure to get plenty on pics of the Burgundy dress.. aka... the longest UFO! To the left you can see me and The Bald Man... me in the dress!!! yay! I didn't really have much time to make the Bald Man a fab costume... I did make the shiny satin like vest he's wearing. Below... My friend Nancy (a sexy pirate!) and her date..... Above... Cindy (a gypsy) and her date Mark.... Below ... Sonya (a lovely mermaid) and her husband , Chris (King Triton) I have to add, esp. since this is mostly a sewing blog that Chris made his own costume!!! Seriously! He sewed it all himself!...

This was the most fun party me and the Bald Man have ever hosted!!! The party have 2 parts.. the early group and the late group... To the left here we have the early group... They had to leave around 9:45 to go dance at a fund raiser at UT.... We had a few guests that came early AND stayed late!! Check out the guys above in the Guys Belly Dance Off... hahahaha Then we have the late group! My party people! The most fun party ever.. and there will be more in the future! Between my camera and Sam's camera we have ALOT of pics.. There's no way to post so many directly on my blog so I started an album just for this party and here is the link The Big Hairy Belly Dance Party Album Thanks to all who came and made this party a great time and a great memory!

No sewing today....... I must prepare....... because.......... Its time for The Big Hairy Belly Dance Party... the party themed for belly dancers and the fake hair they love! Here are the purses I made for the prizes/surprizes... along with some fringe pieces that I might put in the purses and hip scarves. Don't know... we're planning to play Twister and a few other "belly dance" games Sonja came up with... maybe I need a video camera for this party... you know.. for America's Funniest Home Videos... So far there are 18 bellydancers coming and 6 guys... we're a little unbalanced here... I made the Bald Man call some of his friends because I don't want him to go crazy with only giggling bellydancers with fake hair for him to talk to... ofcourse most guys would probably say this is not a bad thing... Now I have to decide which wig/hair piece will I wear myself??? and more importantly which wig will I put on the Bald Man??? hahaha Stay tuned for party pictur...
