Riding the Rails

With Halloween right around the corner I've been trying to narrow down an idea for a costume, well I do believe I've decided on the perfect one... an old fashioned hobo. Yep, tonight while shopping with my sister at Target we stumbled across the perfect felt hat that inspired us to be old fashioned hobos for Halloween. I then proceeded to mention the costume idea to my boyfriend and now we are all going to be a happy little trio of hobos.


Oh to be a happy carefree hobo!


A few necessary hobo items, a five o'clock shadow, a kerchief knapsack, a beat up hat, patched up clothes, a can of beans, fingerless gloves, a bow tie or suspenders, a rolled up newspaper and perhaps a scruffy dog.




Hobo soup, who knew?

The Fruits of My Labor

Yes, the pun is intended. After two hours I managed to make this little strawberry cutie and she's sure to look darling adorning any cell phone. My mom bought it as a kit for me while I was in Korea, and after viewing this lovely blog, I was inspired to finally make my project a year later.
I wish my camera didn't take such blurry pictures.
