I've made 4 very different ones this year, but I know I'll be making more next year. :) jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-87689662727366978942015-10-24T00:08:25.486-05:002015-10-24T00:08:25.486-05:00I will have to share the photo of your La Calavera...I will have to share the photo of your La Calavera Catrinas with a friend. She loves that kind of stuff. She really is beautiful.<br /><br />It's been nice to see our temperatures finally getting lower. It's been record hot in recent weeks. I worry about the future generations too as well as the earth.<br /><br />I've missed visiting your blog, and I apologize for so many comments at once.

La Calavera Catrinas and sugar skulls are symbols of the the Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations, and I've had fun making some characters in that spirit. :) jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-43652759676535993592015-10-21T10:07:03.453-05:002015-10-21T10:07:03.453-05:00What a lovely creation!

There are more Halloween Eccentrics on <a href="http://bayouquilts.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">my other blog</a>; I've been up to my ears in orange and black. :)<br /><br />Strange weather, for sure. I thought 96 was bad, but closing in on 100 is awful!<br /><br />jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-85916626009542357232015-10-19T19:46:56.096-05:002015-10-19T19:46:56.096-05:00Jenclair your Catrina is beautiful!

Can't wait to see more of your creations.<br /><br />I am with you on climate change. We broke a record last week I think. It was almost 100! Insane. I'm taking note of some of these mysteries I kind of like the sound of the last one even if it had some flaws.

I made one for each of my daughters and need to get the second one in the mail.<br /><br />You are right about the consistent damage, year after year, of climate change that we don't even realize until it becomes seriously problematic. It's frightening. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-70527412465902567152015-10-16T13:15:54.073-05:002015-10-16T13:15:54.073-05:00Oh jenclair!

Your...Oh jenclair! La Calavera Catrina is amazing!<br /><br />Your October weather is messed up too? We were 84 degrees last weekend. Minnesota in the middle of October! We are finally expecting a frost tonight, two weeks later than when it should be but the cold has not arrived to stay yet as we are forecast to have a couple 70 degree days early next week. The damage over the years from things like this happening is already being seen in forests here which need cold weather and in the animal populations. It breaks me heart.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943596258182968212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-45284671594491295662015-10-16T07:10:50.897-05:002015-10-16T07:10:50.897-05:00Thanks, Stephanie!

At least here, we don't have a problem with haze! <br /><br />The underskirt for Catrina's dress came from a witch hat that was in sad shape, so I cut it up and it made all the difference to the outfit. :) Thanks for the kind words, Melody!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-62542947104796587212015-10-15T19:34:36.120-05:002015-10-15T19:34:36.120-05:00That La Calavera Catrina is beautiful!!That La Calavera Catrina is beautiful!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-37539366786779450692015-10-15T19:06:50.789-05:002015-10-15T19:06:50.789-05:00Our weather has been getting quite hot here, not s...Our weather has been getting quite hot here, not surprising since we get summer all the time but it's October so it's a bit weird; plus the haze condition is making it all the much hotter. Hopefully there's some rain! <br /><br />The La Calavera Catrina you've shared looks lovely! I love her dress! Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.com
