Don't Know How You Do That VooDoo That You Do So Well...


Friday night was supposed to be opening night for Cinderella's school play.
But because Mother Nature SUX! school was closed on account of "freezing rain" and all after-school activities were canceled.
These final weeks of rehearsals and preparations were not without some added (unnecessary) drama - opening night was pushed back a week to accommodate mid-terms, flu befell some cast members and threatened their performance, parental tempers ran high over the late nights of rehearsals - so this last minute cancellation was not taken well.
Cinderella's drama teacher needed cheering up.
So, what else does one do on a rain day but make voodoo dolls to put an end to the bad juju?

All that is needed were two bamboo skewers, some cotton batting, twine and fabric (I used an old pillow case).

I used this pattern for inspiration.

Ha! The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that picture was that you had made a voodoo doll of Maleficent. :)

LOL. I'm shocked! You all should be ashamed of yourselves. ;)

What's funny is that, after all these years, the thought has never once crossed my mind.
