First Halloween Costume

So I was crochetting a present for Julie's baby. (knit a blanket? Why yes, I started in April...finish it? Sigh, there's only 2 inches of progress.) I seem to finish things I start crochetting. It's more like sculpture, and you can build on things easier...at least that's how it feels to me. Anyway, I decided to make a skullcap that looked like a skull...but I forgot to bring the black yarn with me to finish the eyes and nose parts while I was flying over to London. SO- Isla has her first Lucha Mask! And, yes, her dad did pull it downto see if it fit. I somehow made the eyes and nose the proper size to fit over her eyes and nose. But, she was not so pleased when we did that. See, she's sizing me up to prepare herself just in case we want to do it again.

Nice skull hat for your little niece Jill, makes her look even cuter.

Hi Jill, I am glad to have found your blog and be able to see how you are as person, I love your pictures and your watercolors ..... and your personality. (forgive my English, is very bad.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN (or Samhain)

Wow that cap is totally neat I really just want to go into the future and see her face when you guys dig this up, but really it's hard to say if she's going to be a girly girl with pink as a color that goes with everything or someone else. Maybe the best part would be if in the future she became an amature Luchadora!
