Candy Corn

Happy Halloween!  I can't believe how fast September and October went.  I've been feeling a bit bummed recently that I wasn't able to make new hamster Halloween costumes this year.  I really love the whole process of coming up with ideas, making the costumes, creating the sets, and photographing the hamsters.  So on a whim this morning, I decided I would grab a couple of costumes from previous years and take pictures.  The truth is, I really have way more important things to do that I'm not wanting to do, so that's why I was suddenly so eager to do these pictures instead.  😁😅  And you can see how unprepared I was for this as I don't have any actual candy corn or other candy to add to the bowl.  Oh well.  The hams did great, so even though these are fairly lackluster compared to previous years, I still wanted to share them.

I thought Glorfindel did a lovely job of showing off the costume.  He's a great little model for me.  💗

I probably have mentioned this before, but in case I haven't, y'all should know that I'm obsessed with Olórin's giant ears.  I mean, just look at them!  He could probably pass as the easter bunny.  😂

New Yarn on Little Bed

I rarely go to Hobby Lobby because it doesn't open until 9 AM, but I am already home from running my errands by then and I don't like going back out.  A few weeks ago Joe and I were having a lazy Saturday morning and after getting breakfast out, we decided to stop by Hobby Lobby because I wanted more sawtooth hangers for some projects.  Obviously I bought so much more than just the sawtooth hangers.  The yarn was 30% off so I grabbed this gorgeous green to make a little blanket for an upcoming photo session.  Since it had been so long since I last bought yarn, I underestimated how much I'd need for the project in mind.  So, the following week I went back for more yarn and bought some Christmas stuff that was on sale.  And then I went back a couple days later because I was regretting not getting more of the Christmas stuff while it was on sale.  So I ended up making 3 trips to Hobby Lobby in the span of less than a week, all the while being simultaneously frustrated that I had to interrupt my work day to get there since they open so late, and grateful that they don't open sooner or I'd probably be there weekly and spend SO much money.  😅

I love how silky Glorfindel's fur is.  He is such a gorgeous boy.  Although I realized that as soon as I see him, I always pick him up and smother his forehead in kisses, which makes his head look wet in pictures.  😂

 

This big boy has gotten a little less timid, but in general, he seems to prefer to be left alone.  I don't see Olórin or Glorfindel very often.  I go to bed well before they get up, but I have caught them awake still when I get up at 5:30.  I still kinda want to get a camera to see what they get up to at night, but I haven't done that yet.
