Husband and I spent an evening at Brothers Drake Meadery. I looked up as we
tasted the wonderful locally brewed mead and saw these.

Make Solar Milk Jug Ghosts for Halloween
The rechargeable batteries in the solar garden lights I repainted last summer heaved their last breath.
While I am searching for outdoor rechargeable batteries, I need something to light the way for the Trick or Treaters.
Luminaries are simple and festive. However, I don’t want to with traditional candles in case the kids accidentally walk into them. Husband says lighting your neighbor’s children on fire is rude. What-ever.

10 Handmade Halloween Costumes for Adults
I am ALL about the costume on Halloween. I don't decorate the house much because I'm usually working on costumes. I start thinking about my costume a least a month or two in advance. I want my costume to be something clever or different or just plain crazy - hopefully all three. Last Halloween's Little Edie from Gray Gardens costume fits the bill. It was super easy to make too. Yay for easy!
"Easy for you Lisa," you say, "You know how to sew. I can't sew. I can't make a Halloween costume. I'm just gonna to buy one at the pop up Halloween shop."
Stop right there! You do not need to know how to sew to make a great Halloween costume! Last Halloween I went to a party. I saw tons of clever homemade costumes. Some were home sewn but most, like the Little Edie costume I made were not.
Nine No or Low Sew Halloween Costumes for Adults
STAUNCH!

Welcome to the Green Pet edition of the Green Moms Carnival! October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month as well as National Pet Wellness Month. I thought of no better way to celebrate than to ask my wonderful friends to share their stories about greening their pets.

Hello everyone! I realize Lisa saying I am the guest editor is trite blogging device.
I humor her because she pays me in dog treats to pose for blog photos.

I am Designing My Bathroom Around a Faucet
![]() |
My new bathroom faucet! |
I haven't decided what or if I should revamp the vanity or the sink. Knowing me, reworking the vanity/sink will likely snowball into a remodel I’m not quite ready to put on my punch list.
I have no idea what I want in those areas anyway. Except for the bathroom faucet.
