Colour Challenge 44 - Charcoal

Missing the Halloween colour post by a week, I had it done in time but then I caught my son's cold and I've been pretty ill and not online much. Didn't get to do much for Halloween itself either though I have extended the rent on my old parcel for a week to enjoy the decorations I put up - I moved mid-October and decorated my castle, but still had back-rent on the previous location so it was a good opportunity to indulge my macabre side!

I could only think of one grey outfit for this colour, but while I was looking through accessories and wondering what kind of avatar I should make, I found a lot of spider hair in the CAHH hunt folders and that inspired me. My Spider Woman avatar is one of my stock-in-trade golden-oldies but I knew I hadn't brought her out for this challenge yet - so what more appropriate time than Halloween? I was joined by the lovely Katlien just in time to assist with the photoshoot and storyline, so I bring you:

Little Miss Muffet ^^o;;o^^ A Seasonal Tale

Little Miss Muffet

Sat on a tuffet

Eating some curds and whey

Along came a spider

Who sat down beside her

And frightened Miss Muffet away!

I suppose the moral of this story is, don't sit down to eat your lunch in a spooky, spider infested greenhouse? Especially not when you are a maid, and spiders have good cause for revenge for all the webs you have dusted away! 

I suggested the spider could have had the curds hurled in her face instead but Katlien didn't want to be so rude. Incidentally I know she's sitting on a bench, not a tuffet; which for those who don't know, is another name for a pouffe or hassock - a low, padded stool with no (visible) feet.
