Boo Moon


Boo Moon

You saw us scared and alone
With no direction to go
Without a light of our own...
BooMoon
You heard us cry out to you,
You knew just what to do...
And shined your light for us too.
Boo Moon
We're no longer scared or alone
With no direction to go
With your light as our own, we can make
our way home.

Frostie



Frostie Folk

Christmas comes but once a year
But Frostie Folk,will stay right here.
Welcoming dawn as the day breaks
Wrapped in his coat of downy snowflakes,
Flurries abound but this we know,
He's a steadfast friend through ice and snow.

Bunny Foo-Foos



Two Foo-Foos

It's always hard for one to choose
When you only have two Foo-Foos!
So you can take the pink, since there's only two...
And as for me , I think I'll take the blue.

Isn't this a sweet picture of them together?

Proud owner...

of a baby dragon!!!!! Made by none other than Sprite !!!!
Look at all the cute cards and wrapping paper and box with a skelly trinket too!!!
A better shot, He really is such a sweet baby isn't he?


One more!!!
So sweet and adorable just like a real baby!!!! How did I get so lucky you ask? Well I will tell you, we did a swap together, but my swap piece isn't anything like what Sprite sent me,I sent her a bonehead cause that's what she wanted, go figure.... I know I made out like a bandit
but don't tell her, ok?
The details are amazing, she used real silk threads for the cobwebs and it is a luminescent figure too, I charge it under a light then turn off all the lights and it glows!!! The eyes are glossed and they look so real that when the light hits them
they sparkle!!! Sprite even added little bones for Baby Boo to much on, too too adorable!!!
I'm so glad he finally made it home, we had a bit of a scare, the post office
wasn't too sure where he was? Sprite and I called around and found him!!!
Thank goodness there wasn't too much drama!!!

blessings,Flora

Updates......

They are done!!!! YAY!!!! I'm hoping that this coming year I will learn how to
manage my time better.....I've got some ocean front property in Arizona....

Here ya go,

White-Bearded Bandit

I caught him red handed, that white-bearded bandit !
I'd waited all year for him to appear.
And there he was, like a thief in the night.
He caused such a ruckus it gave me a fright.
So I made a mad dash , but he was too fast
then gone in a flash !

Frosties


Zacharias



The Great Pumpkin

As an Autumn wind begins it's nightly call ,
that an early frost will surely fall.
All goblins, ghosts and sprite a like,
excitedly do hear...
“ Do not tarry, be prepared ,
All Hallow's Eve is near ! “
Tis' the time the witches cheer ,
for “ The Great Pumpkin “ to appear !

by Flora Thompson


Krampus



" Krampus Visits "

The truth will out come Christmas Eve,
When many a child shall be deceived!
As stockings still hung and filled... quite meagerly,
Are opened by the naughty child, so eagerly!
No toys, nor trinkets, not even a sweet,
Just chunks of coal tumbling to their feet!
With a naughty list and switch in hand,
The laughing Krampus shouts " How grand! "
No Saintly Nick with his bag of toys,
Just old Krampus, visiting naughty girls and boys!

by F. Thompson


I'll leave you with a few before pic's...

Something wicked this way comes...


The devil is in the details....


speak of the devil and he appears

Magical.....

Old Man Winter had come to town
bringing with him a magical gown.
Delicate snowflakes all earth bound,
which glistened and glimmered as
he placed it round...
Gently,softly to blanket the ground.
Mother Earth gasped as she looked down
at this wonderous beauty that he had found.
by Flora Thompson


SNOW!!!! SNOW?...Yes!!! It's snowing in Texas!!!! This afternoon we saw an accumulation of a few inches of that wonderous snow, some places got more than others.I know you northern states are used to it but it is a rare sight where I live,I do hope it gets heavier, but I can see that it is starting to melt....sigh....









Simply beautiful...

Busy busy busy....

and never enough time....I just barely finished my newest updates for SpookyTimeJingles

Senor Vampire




Clueless Male

A cautionary tale about a clueless male,
who took a shortcut through an
ominous trail !!
He did not tarry but quickened his pace,
heading towards his appointed place.
Much to his relief and delight,
he welcomed a stranger that fearful night.
Resplendent in costume, he did say
he too was going that way,
to the very same soiree...?

By Flora Thompson



Chilly Willy



Winter Folk

Winters chill is in the air,
A glimmer here and a shimmer there!
It's frosty harvest laid out bare,
when winter folk begin to appear.
It's a time for merriment and
Good Cheer,
for loved ones far and near.
This is that time of year
for all that we hold dear.

by Flora Thompson

So scoot on over to our favorite place , at SpookyTimeJingles and make no haste, or you'll miss all the goodies,cause that would be such a waste....

I'll leave you with a few wips ....

TAODA..

Had a storybook Challenge again this year!!! My doll was my own interpretaion of
Susan Pearson's "Grimericks" Ghoul and Goblin love. I went for a cuter ghoul and green ( what else could he be?) goblin than the scarier ones of Gris Grimly...
and I called mine "Love At First Sight".

It was on display at the Houston International Quilt Show that just passed.
Joyce Patterson took this picture,from the show and I was so excited about
going after speaking with her a few days prior, but it was not to be...



I was unfortunately, not able to go, I was in charge of caring for my sweet grandies while their mama was nursing a flu. None of the grandies came down with the bug, that is except for all of us adults ....

I will be doing a small Christmas show with the group, this Nov. 21st at Holly Hall, here in Houston, my Kris Kringle was used for the invitaions, isn't that grand?
So I've been busy making dolls for the show or at least trying to do as many as I can...
Blessings,Flora

Happy Halloween..

This IS Halloween!!!!!
These are the Halloween baskets for my son and grandies, this year....






Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Halloween , with lots and lots of yummy candy!!!
blessings,Flora
