Just a very quick post today as we are sooooo late getting back from Ikea (appalling traffic and roadworks) and a Doodle family visit is imminent to drop off Ruby for the weekend.
So I'll just show you our Halloween decs..........
This will drive me mad before the weekend is over......lol.
DD's cute little pumpkin with vampire fangs and plastic headed pins for eyes.
Just wondering how this is all going to stand up to a visit from Miss Marlowe.
This will be fun.
Anyhoo....I had best go and get ready to welcome them all.
Not sure if I will get back on to blog over the weekend but if not I will catch up with you all on either Sunday evening or Monday morning.
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

Halloween night is also my daughter in laws birthday so we decided to throw her a party at our house. Just them and us but we really enjoyed it. Ruby was thrilled with it.
We ate spooky food such as Beetle Wings, Slugabeds, Bog Soup with Twisty Bones, Skelly Jelly and Zombie Brain Cake and drank Liquid Sky and Scummy Pond Water. All very normal edibles but so much creepier when renamed.
A ghost in the garden. An empty milk bottle decorated with a friendly ghost face then filled with water and glow sticks.
Didn't want to make the pumpkins too scary for Ruby so cheeky faces were in order.
I do love doing themed parties but I did pay for spending all Saturday on my feet cooking and conjuring up goodies. I could barely move on Sunday and hubby ended up cooking the roast bless him.
Now we get to my favourite time of year........preparing for Christmas.......yay!!!
There are decorations to finish, tiny gifts to find for the quilted advent calendar I have made for Ruby, quilts to finish and another 101 jobs which I have on my list......I am in my element.
Thanks for dropping by.
