By this point, you’ve all heard about Friscovania, right?! While we here at Model Behaviors and in the Frisco community are all looking forward to this event, I dare say that there may be no one more excited than I am! As I mentioned last year in my Yarn Ghost DIY Tutorial, Halloween holds a very special place in my heart as both my wedding anniversary in 2009 and the day I became a mother with the birth of Trent Fox on October 31, 2012.

It’s official! We’ve got some exciting news to share. Model Behaviors and FC Dallas present one of the most epic events of the year on behalf of City House of Collin County—Friscovania! This Halloween extravaganza will be filled with tons of fun for everyone, in memory of our dear friend Kelly Whaley.
As you many of you know, Kelly was unexpectedly diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in April, and in less than two months after her diagnosis, she passed away, leaving behind her four-year-old son, Gunner. She was a single mother and a well-known hair and makeup artist in the fashion community here in Dallas, but what some of you may not know is that she was also deeply rooted in the rock music scene and had a passion for Halloween and special effects makeup.

It’s no secret that yarn is my jam. And with both my wedding anniversary and my son’s birthday falling on October 31st, it’s no secret that Halloween is also my jam. So when I found out that my spooky yarn ghost DIY would be kicking off the month of October here at Model Behaviors, my head almost exploded.
Our inspirational word this month will be “explore,” and it gave this project the perfect direction. While I love to work with all different kinds of materials and techniques, I’m always looking for new ways to use some of my tried and true favorites. I chose to focus on exploring the possibilities with yarn this month. I use yarn nearly every day in some way or another, and I am still constantly finding new varieties, textures, and weights of yarn along with original ways to incorporate it into my pieces.
I also knew from the get-go that I would be using a piece of nature in this DIY, so I wanted to make a family affair of it and go on a little adventure to let the kiddos explore their surroundings and enjoy these first few days of fall weather we’ve had here in North Texas!

With Halloween past and Thanksgiving looming around the corner, the holidays are no time to sit back and relax. At the same time, it’s way too easy to get sucked up in the mad rush of it all and forget the truly important things—family, friends, love, and decadent turkey feasts.

As many of you know, I live and breathe Halloween! Mainly, I love the gore and drama of it all. This year I definitely kept it PG, but dramatic nonetheless…
