Matilda "Gussies Up"

Matilda (that's what I named the wooden figurine on my mantle...doesn't she look like a Matilda?), likes to change her look with the seasons, just as the rest of us do. But being on a limited budget, she tries to use what she has and change up the accessories. I think she has been reading the fashion blogs.

So when she saw me pulling out all of the Halloween goodies, she got to work on herself!

Luckily, her wardrobe color scheme is right in line with the season. She just highlighted her waistband with a couple of rows of purple ribbon, strung a new fall, beaded necklace, and donned a sparkly witch's hat (borrowed from one of my dollar store floral picks). Her broom is a twig from the backyard and a bit of yarn, and at her feet is a tiny felt pumpkin (which she saw me making for next week's tutorial!).


I think she looks rather snappy! Hmmmm, I guess I'd better get to work on myself!
