This year has been absolutely insane, like an end time sci-fi horror movie … and it doesn’t look like next year will get any better anytime soon.

I mourn the parties and conventions that didn’t happen and hope that at least a few of them can take place again in 2021.
I had the biggest “party” this year on Halloween: A double birthday party with my best friends. There were six of us and we had pumpkin soup, pumpkin muffins and pumpkin omelets and two of us were even in fancy dress ;-)
The picture is the only one (cell phone picture) that was taken at the “party”.

I wish us all an end to this pandemic and that we can meet again in person with all the dear people in our lives, hug them and celebrate together :-)

Take care, stay healthy and feel hugged!

Yours,

Do you remember?
Back then? So four weeks ago?
Back then you could party with your friends.
Like in the pictures from our Halloween Party 2018.

I miss that very much….

But I think the measures to minimize contact with other people in this situation are necessary and correct so that our health system does not collapse and we do not have to lose too many dear people to this virus.

The world has changed… and very quickly.
We will adapt… just because at this moment there is no other way.

Take care and stay healthy!
Keep calm and carry on ;-)

Yours,

At first sight it looks like a cross between a nightgown and a wedding dress.
And then again more like from a Jane Austin movie.
But no, this dress is actually made to be a Halloween costume, it should be the robe of a ghost, a white ghost lady :-)

This is one of the later versions of the famous scarf that Doctor Who was wearing in his 4th reincarnation. From 1974 to 1981 Tom Baker had many adventures in his role as the 4th Doctor with various variations (and increasing length) of this scarf.

I decided to knit this version, simply because I liked the colours the most. The other 7-colour-versions I would surely not wear in everyday life ;-)

This kitschy bracelet is more of a carnival accessory than real jewellery ;-)
Rose coloured fecetted plastic pearls in silvery bead caps are bound together with transparent elastic band.

Completed: 2011

This diamond-decorated two-coloured costume is complete with the Harley Quinn Choker and the matching gloves. A bit cheeky and punky this costume is definitely Harley Quinn-worthy.

Needless to say that this costume is most effective in combination with someone wearin the Poison Ivy-costume.

This fake-ivy-decorated costume is complete with a firey red wig and with the Poison Ivy Choker and also with the matching long glove. Even some ballerinas come with the outfit. Asymmetric and with seamingly organic fabrics this dress is definitely Poison Ivy-worthy.

This three part fantasy dress is made out of a bright red shiny pattern-teffeta. The top is corselet-like cut with black lacing on the back and black lace straps.

There are two different matching skirts. The first one consists of two plain ankle-length rectangles whith are bound together with black lacings on both sides.

The second skirt has two lacings at the front down to the knees and a little train.

This full-length midblue panne velvet dress with wide belly sleeves has an open skirt part at the front, which gets long in waves at the back. The outfit is complete with a long black underskirt and a corset.
