HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

Donna and Leif in their Halloween Costumes.  In the Center is one of our Sister Missionaries.

Our Sister Missionary wanted to be Belle from "The Beauty and the Beast" so much for her costume.  She had the material and the pattern so Donna agreed to make it for her for the Ward Halloween party Tonight.  Monday Donna sewed on it until about 10 pm.  She couldn't stay up any later because she had to be at school Tuesday morning.  She got everything done but the hem so I did the hem on Tuesday.  Donna and Leif's costumes are the ones they bought when we went to Silverdale last weekend. Leif colored his hair and his mustache black. He looked so different, I was shocked when I first saw it. 
        Donna and Leif wore their costumes to their dancing class Halloween party last night and they will wear them to the Ward Halloween party tonight.

        I just love this picture.

Another Birthday

I blew out the six candles (for the last number of my age). I had a hard enough time doing that as I am still dealing with my Asthma.  I will be seeing the specialist on November 6th.

Birthday cake from Donna and Leif

Donna and Leif gave me this nice end table to go between my two recliners.

The Missionary Sisters from our Church gave me this "Heart Attack" for my 86th birthday.  Each heart had a loving message from them.

I felt like Friday and Saturday both were my birthday.  Donna and Leif took me to Tacoma on Friday.  We stopped at Fred Meyer and that is where Donna and Leif bought my end table. They bought costumes for the Halloween party their square dancing is having.  Then we went to the Tacoma Mall and looked at formals for Donna for her Cruise.  She finally found a nice one at the Bridal shop outside the mall.  We were gone all day and I was so glad I could go.  I have to use the Nebulizer three times a day so I took it with me.  It is the new compact type.  It has a car charger and it's own carrying case. It is very light weight.  It weighs a lot less than my purse. I did really well being gone all day.  I am so glad I can still get out.  I have always loved car rides. We had dinner at Olive Garden. It was really a nice day.

OCTOBER HAPPENINGS

This material is for the border of the Oriental Quilt Donna and I are going to make for my bed.  I bought enough of this material so that I can make a valance for the bedroom window.

Donna and I went to the Sunbonnet Sue Quilting Club this morning.  The have a meeting every week but we can't always go.  Today they were having a drawing.  I won two patterns, a fat quarter and some thread.

I bought material to make an Oriental quilt for my bed.  I do the buying and Donna gets to do most of the work.  This is going to be the center panel.  We took the material to the quilting club this morning and got lots of compliments and some good suggestions.

These are some of the materials that are going to go with the panel.

Donna and I went to the Stash Dash that 6 quilt shops were having.  We were gone all day last Saturday.  I am still dealing with this Asthma or whatever it is.  I am on Flovent right now and it is helping.  I have an appointment with the Pulmonary Lung specialist but can't get in until November 6th. I really held up very well on our quilting trip.  It was a beautiful day last Saturday.  It was so warm we did not need coats.
