Guarding the wands

Hello dear readers

We are approaching Halloween and still no sign of Baalatova the ancient witch.
Skella and Skelly are worried.  They sent out their cat Catiushka, Catty for short, to hear news. She came back telling them she heard rumors that
Baalatova is recuperating and on the way to full recovery. Poor Baalotova
is limping about with the aid of two new brooms.  The only trouble is
she lost her wand in the accident and cannot function without it.

Skella thought it was a good idea to send out Catty again to look for the wand. If she
finds it, they'll be able to gain some good points with Baalatova.

Catty who knew how important her mission was, enlisted friends to help her.  With joint
forces there'll be more chances to find the wand.

.

Here Catty and her friends  are deciding how to spread out.

Two friends came back with a wand.

Then, two more friends came back with a different wand.

And a third wand!!

Three wands?? Now which will be Baalatova's?  Big problem!!

Let's guard the wands until Skella and Skelly decide what to do.

Let's hope that at least one wand belongs to Baalatova.  The Skellies are so eager to become ghosts and believe the old witch will be able to help them.

Speaking of ghosts, here is a cute pair.  Thanks again to the friend who sent them to me.

After making the wands, I played a bit with making slippers from pigtail bands.  They came out
quite cute.

We are all happy the dust storm is behind us.  For 4 days we kept our windows shut so as little as
possible dust will enter.  It didn't help much.  It was a lost fight with dust which covered every
surface.  I do not remember a situation like this.  It is believed the last time it happened was 75 years ago.

Happy New Year to my friends who are celebrating and blessings to all of you.
