Bratcher Fairytale...

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who lived near the woods. Everytime she went out, she put on her red cloak. Therefore, everyone in the city of Walnut called her Little Red Riding Hood...

One Halloween morning, Little Red Riding Hood asked her mother if she could visit her grandmother, who lived at the end of the woods. Her mother thought that was a great idea and sent her on her way with a basket of goodies...


Of course, Little Red Riding Hood always gets distracted and found little, wonderful things to put in her basket that she didn't notice the little creature lurking behind her...

Suddenly, Little Red Riding Hood found her self face to face with the Big Bad, I mean, "Brave" Wolf. The wolf said, "Little girl, where are you going?" Little Red Riding Hood replied, "I am on my way to visit my grandmother, who lives at the end of the woods."

Then they parted ways, but little did Little Red Riding Hood know that the wolf was still keeping an eye on her and was planning to take a shortcut to her grandmother's house...



Little Red Riding Hood was having so much fun in the woods that she didn't realize how late it was, so she hurried as fast as she could to get to her grandmother's house...
At last Little Red Riding Hood made it to her grandmother's house and she knocked on the door. Then, she heard a soft, scratchy voice say, "Come in..."

When Little Red Riding hood went in, she could barely recognize her grandmother...

So Little Red Riding Hood knelt besides her grandmother and asked if she felt alright. The Big Brave Wolf disguised as her grandmother replied, "I just have a cold, my dear." Little Red Riding said, "Oh grandmother, I brought lots of goodies that will hopefully make you feel better." The Big Brave Wolf replied, "You are all I need, my dear."

Then, Little Red Riding looked closely and said, "My grandmother, what big eyes you have!!!" The Big Brave Wolf replied, "The better to see you with, my dear."
Little Red Riding Hood, didn't notice the wolf's tail peeking out from under the cover. So innocently, Little Red Riding Hood thought that her grandmother might feel better if she laid down next to her...

Then Little Red Riding Hood said, "My grandmother, what big teeth, I mean gums, you have!!!"

Then the Big Brave Wolf replied, "The better to eat you with!!!" All of a sudden, Little Red Riding Hood realized it was the Big Brave Wolf in disguise and quickly got out of bed and ran out of her grandmother's house...
Little Red Riding Hood decided to hide in the woods and watch her grandmother's house from afar. She waited until she saw the Big Brave Wolf leave the house...
Once the wolf left, Little Red Riding Hood went looking all over the house for her grandmother. She couldn't find her. Then, she looked on the fridge and saw a note. It read...

"Dear Little Red Riding Hood, your mother called me on my cellphone and told me you were coming. So, I went to the closest market to get some soy milk and whole wheat flour, so that we can bake some healthy cookies together. Will be back soon. Love, Grandmother."

Little Red Riding felt relief knowing her grandmother was not harmed and that the wolf was out of the house. She immediately thanked the Lord for the trial and for keeping her and her grandmother safe. So Little Red Riding Hood made herself comfortable in her grandmother's house and waited for her to come home...



THE END

Happy Halloween!!!

More things mama-made...



I made these using a pattern (I don't really follow the pattern, but just draw my own similar to it) from one of my craft books... so lovely!!!

Then, the girlies were sporting them at church...

Etsy inspiration...

I saw something similar to this on etsy, I just changed it up to have the top be a buttonhole. It is a reversible halter and the inside is red with the fruit trim. I think it is cute and thought it could be a layering piece over a shirt, Ben doesn't... What do you think?

The lovely designer of this is so creative... I can't take credit for this. Credit must be given to whomever it is due...

More Cakies...

I had to make new tags because I ran out of stickers, so I used my new acrylic stamps that I got at the Craft Fair on Saturday. We will have a more permanent logo soon enough...

Now, I just need to make a trip to Rattle 'N Roll.

I have a few projects to make:
1. A Betty Shopper
2. Another clutch to be sent to Korea
3. Thanksgiving dresses
4. A Christmas stocking for Brave.

and I am sure the list will grow...

I want to get these done before we move because I know I will be busy packing, then unpacking... and then packing to go to Texas for Christmas... so I need to get these done!!!

Babylegs...

We love them and I went onto their website to order one for True's Halloween costume and saw the winners for the Halloween costume contest. True was one of them. Way cool!

Then, I did a search for more babylegs on google to find a store that had free shipping and I found this. I guess she is on another website that happens to sell babylegs too.
We love babylegs!!!

Good times...

On Saturday, us Bratcher girls had some fun Jane time...

Then, I had mommy-alone time, which was very much needed. So, I went to the quilt, craft, and sewing fair. Mostly, quilts and older people, but it was really a blessing to have leisurely time to walk around, take pictures, and buy a couple of goodies...




Sunday, was Sabrina time and for True it was A.J., I mean Alex time...



And it looks like it is time for Brave to start wearing big-sister hand-me downs...

October 19, 2007

Done...


Didn't follow the pattern I bought exactly, but it will work. And they are just wearing it for one day anyways...

Retiring...

True's orange, snake-skin leather shoes...

But now she has new gold ones that are mama-made... Well, I can't keep buying them because they no longer make it in True's size, so Ben bought me some leather so I can make them!!!

Even Brave has her own mama-made pair to join her sister...

The Bratcher girl signature shoes stamped and approved by their cool daddy!!!

But Tiny Bubbles are the original creator of their shoes, but they just don't make enough colors and sizes and for my girls, so Ben suggested I just make them. Anyone know where more Tiny Bubbles can be found? I just love their stuff.

One down...

And one more costume to go...

This is the one I dread making. I get a little nervous just thinking about. It shouldn't be that hard, but cutting out patterns from one done for me by someone else, makes me nervous. I need to create the pattern, so that I can visualize it in my head, but I can't create this pattern. The costume is not fancy, but it is not as easy as making a dress or skirt. I will get started tomorrow and Benny keeps reminding me that I am doing all this sewing, but what I really need to be doing is packing... yikes!!!

So, I was a little elf today and worked on something...

It is finished (It will only fit Brave one more day), but I want to make another tomorrow. Wait and see...
