LOOK WHAT CAME TODAY!!

I was lucky enough to win a giveaway on Facebook, from one of my friends, Theresa Meloon. Since we live in Canada and Theresa lives in the U.S., I thought it would take at least a week to arrive, but it came today. Now, I didn't know what I had won - it was to be a surprise. Imagine my delight to open the box and find all of these goodies.

First, there was a lovely quilted piece, with gorgeous Halloween graphics and black cats - our favourites. It's in the centre of our harvest table and it looks just wonderful. Then there was a sweet Hallowe'en banner that I will put on the wall, and there was also a pumpkin, clip-on ornament and a goody bag of candies!

So, an ordinary day was made very special by these lovely treats - THANK YOU, THERESA!

AGATHA THE WITCH

I have finally finished a Hallowe'en teddy - Agatha the Witch. I normally make a lot of Hallowe'en bears, but somehow time has sped by this year. I hope you like Agatha - she's a sweet little witch, not a nasty one :o)

Agatha is 5 inches tall and made from beige mini German mohair. She is fully disc-jointed and traditionally stuffed with excelsior and weighted with stainless steel shot. Agatha has german glass eyes, a sparse waxed nose and shading on her face, ears and paw pads (with permanent fabric paints). Her mohair has been distressed to give her vintage appeal. Agatha also has distressed ultra suede paw pads with tiny holes, which allows the excelsior to show through.

Agatha wears a sweet little dress made from an antique hanky. It has been gently aged, making it look vintage. She has a silver star on a silver thread, around her neck. Agatha's witch costume is made from dyed wood felt. It consists of a witch's hat and cape, a broom. and a pumpkin sign. The witch costume is removable so she can be displayed just in her dress for the rest of the year. Her dress is also removable.

Agatha also somes with a double sided Hallowe'en ornament, with vintage reproduction ephemera ( a little boy on one side and a black cat on the other. The images have been decorated with foil and glitter and are encased between two soldered pieces of glass and hung with a black organza ribbon.
