Blazing Black Nails

In honor of Halloween, and also because I don't think there are enough different types of black nail polish on he market, I created this look using 2 coast of black nail polish as the base (I used Sinful Colors "Secret Admirer" and 2 coats gold and red glitter nail polish on top (I used Sinful Colors "Pumpkin Spice". 

I know it is hard to tell by the picture, but the color looks different depending on how the light catches it, sort of like a burning fire.

Fleece Lap Blanket and a Fleece Project Roundup

This is just a quick and simple lap blanket made with two pieces of fleece and for under $8. 



I went to Hancock Fabrics as I needed to pick up sewing machine needles and had a 40% of notion item from their flier when I spotted the tiger print above on the $3 a yard remnant table and it turned out there was 1 1/4 yard and I dug through and found the black piece that is on the back and there was 1 2/3 yard.  I knew this would be perfect to make a lap blanket to put over my lap this winter while at the computer as the desk is near the front door and always cold in that area.

I didn't take pictures as I went as it is so simple you really don't need any.  I pinned right sides together on three sides and instead of cutting the black piece down to size I folded it over at the top and pinned the edge right sides together and stitched all the way around except leaving and opening around 6 inches wide at the top.  I then turned it right side out and stitched the opening shut and it was done in less than an episode of the X-Files.

Hancock Fabric is also having its "Fleece Fest" right now has most of their fleece fabrics on sale for $3.99 a yard, which would be great to make an inexpensive Christmas present like the above blanket, or here are some other projects that could be made:
