spooky things about

It's a nice gray and raining wednesday here and with Nat and her nasty cough, we decided to let her stay home today. So while she reads 'Skeleton hiccups' and other seasonal books, I'm stealing away for a post.

We have begun to decorate the place a bit. We've taken out projects from last year and made black silhouettes to scare on the windows. Nat helped placing them with an abundance of tape to the windows!

the dolls pick their seasonal reading
dolls from etsy (amelia and wednesday) do a little seasonal reading.

Brobee our rabbit has been keeping me company lately as well. He helped me out as I began creating a special doll yesterday. It is not finished yet but you can get a sketch preview.

there is mathyldette awaiting to be finished (note natalie's little drawings on the left).

Now to enjoy some rainy day comforts and joy with the gal, who already began to play a little dress up appropriate for the season...

Such sweet little cuttings! Your family seems to have such a happy, creative home life. I love how you allow your daughter to sketch in your journal, alongside your beautiful drawings. Such a sweet and precious memory keeper.
