A capital F

.......for FUN!!! Miss M's Hallowe'en party was a screaming success.
We decked out the house...

A little bone action in the roses....(did I really say that?)



                    

Miss M's friends looked suitably ghoulish!

...........as did the ghostly shadows taking the photos!

Don't get me started on the freaky food!

Enough food colouring was ingested to make for some very amusing Mummy Wrapping.....



.....and as all sugar-fuelled games go, it very quickly went "pumpkin" shaped!



After a very successful Trick-or-Treat around the neighbourhood 7o'clock hit, the ghouls went home, the washing up was done and Ms.K had a date with a cheeky vino in a darkened room! Can't wait till next Hallowe'en!!

Happy Hallowe'en!!

Come on....we've all been there! I've had this pic in my stash for years but it never fails to amuse me...hee hee!!! I know Hallowe'en isn't for a few days yet but Miss M is hosting a Hallowe'en party tomorrow night and, as I'm in the throes of putting up the decorations (no excuses needed), I thought I'd pull this one out to get me in the mood. Box ticked!! Best be off to put the finishing touches on Miss M's "scary fairy" costume and sharpen my tail! Watch this space for pics of the goings-on at the party. Can't wait!

Fruity Fun

While technically not all fruit, they ARE all fun! I know these food savers have been around for yonks but when I saw the four different types all together in a big basket at Kmart with a $2 sign above them I could no longer resist picking up a few for true Kitchen Kitsch! ....and the proof of their value is in the (tomato) pudding:



This sad half of a tomato has been sitting in it's protective house since Wednesday. Look at it....still fresh as a daisy!! Gotta love that!

You know, if you didn't want to use these as food savers you could put all sorts of treasures in there such as buttons, paper clips, spare change....or just split them in half and use as a whacky bikini at the beach this summer. Now there's an idea........

Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Mrs.N!!! I made this just for you my sweet; I hope it goes well with your new Cape Cod deck chair.....This is my first attempt at sewing bunting...I promise it does look better in real life!

And we have a couple of new family members. Pleased to introduce you to Miss H's new friend "Berry":

You'd look cranky too if you were plopped into a very pinkly furnished new house. Lucky his mates can't see him! And Miss M's new buddy "Cristal":

Hilarious!!! I know, he looks like he's smiling; I think he quite likes his new pink glitter palace or is it just the water neutraliser??! Charge your glasses, be upstanding, and here's cheers for a long and happy life in the Kitchen Kitsch house!!! Ha!

P.S

Just an add-on to last night's post. The piano recital brought back memories of my piano concerts when I was Miss M's age; in particular the "after party".....I blocked out the actual piano performance! We would adjourn to Mrs C's dining room where we would all share in an afternoon tea of epic proportions served on her lovely china....I'm talking REAL afternoon tea like ribbon sandwiches, cakes, scones with jam and cream, cupcakes; all homemade of course, but the part that has stayed with me is that she had the best crazy tea set I have ever seen. So it was then, back in the early '80's that my Mum started my china trio collection for me. If memory serves me correctly, this was one of my first!

Please be reminded that this post is a P.S done in haste so sorry, no ironing of fabric today!

Tinkle the Ivories!

What a lovely afternoon I had today. Miss M had her end of year piano recital and we were privileged to hear a sample of a year's hard work. I was so proud! She didn't play a note wrong and she was even given a trophy to prove it. Well done you beautiful girl, you are destined for great things. Biased I know but you would feel the same if you met Miss M....
