Happy Halloween everyone, hope all of you on the East coast are safe after the powerful force of Sandy. We had crazy high winds and rain, but luckily no damage other than the cupola of our shed fell off, which is an easy fix.

Halloween inspired tutu

I just finished this tutu ordered by a women from Bourne, MA, not too far from me! I really LOVE the color combination of purple, fuchsia (shimmer) and orange.  She also asked for  scattered iridescent sparkles which is always fun! I believe this is for Halloween, but this tutu is perfect to wear year round!
