Phoebe had to go to a bee party a couple of weeks ago. My sewing machine is on the blink (I think the sequins on the party dress I made for her birthday might have been responsible), so I had to come up with an alternative very quickly. Two pairs of black tights, some yellow crepe paper and some pipe cleaners, plus some stuffing for the belly ... and we had something that might be related to a bee (if not closely).
Dead sewing machine means Halloween is also going to be a bit of a fudge job this year. Thanks to me working 7 days a week at the moment - and some nasty people on our street - we're not having our usual huge Halloween party. But the kids will be trick or treating, and there will be jack o'lanterns and bats and everything else out the front of our place. That's if I ever find any carving pumpkins - every year I assume it will be easier, since Halloween seems to be catching on here, but every year I end up running around trying to source them. I found somewhere that sells the seeds for them, but it's a bit late now!
