Weekend In a Nutshell ~ October 26th - 28th

Friday I woke up to this...

 

 

The rest of the day was spent doing errands and catching up on life.

I did get to talk to my nephew Logan on Skype - which was the highlight of my day :)

 

Friday night was the usual shift at the boarding school - filled with hair braids and nail painting!

 

 

Saturday morning I had dance, and in the afternoon we had out Halloween Chiili Dinner Fundraiser!

It went really well and there was tonnes of people there!!

 

 

Saturday night Tally and I went to some friend's house for a Halloween party!

 

 

Sunday we slept in way too late, I got mad, made Tally go home, made cookies and chickened out of going for dinner with his parents.

Yup.

I'm a terrible girlfriend. {sigh}

 

 

Hope you had a better weekend then me :(

 

Cheers,

DIY ~ Kitty Ears

Halloween is a comin'!

I got to dress up on Saturday!

 

It was the dance studio's Chili Dinner & Show Fundraiser.

I went as a kitty and needed some ears.

 

What you need:

 

- cardboard

- black felt

-pink felt

- scissors

- glue gun

- headband

 

First cut out four matching triangles from the cardboard smaller than the size you want your ears to be.
 

 

Next, cut out 4 triangles from the black felt larger that your cardboard ones by 1/4 of in inch all around. Leave extra at the bottoms of the triangle.
 

 

Using your glue gun, glue a cardboard triangle inside two felt triangles NOT gluing along the bottom.
 

 

Cut out to small pink felt triangles and glue in the center of each of your ears.
 

  

Glue your ears onto the headband wrapping the extra felt around and securing underneath.
 

  

I present to you...

 

KITTY EARS!!! :)

1 tbsp barbeque sauce

1 egg

2 pieces of bread
