HaPpY HaLLoWeEN EvEryOnE !!!!

Happy Halloween everyone....I hope everyone with snow will still have a good time tonight...I know it must be strange to deal with snow before Halloween.  This is the pumpkin that Selina and I carved....she thought it would be fun to have some of the inside pumpkin shavings coming out its mouth!!  We also put plastic eyeballs in his big round eyes.

This is my daughter Selina....also known as Goldie locks and her one tiny bear!  She wore her costume to middle school today...I had to make sure everything was pinned up.  She had a BLAST at our Halloween party Saturday night....she and her friends lived it up.  I was dresses as Bewitched and my husband was Barnabus Collins from dark shadows.  It was a very fun party with lots to eat, Halloween costume contest, and dance contest. 

My cat Trix says.....Be Safe tonight!!!  I unfortunately will have no trick or treaters....we live in an area in the valley where no one comes....too dark I think ....with no neighbors. 

Turkey & Candy Corn - Freebie friday

Here is the Freebie for Friday this week....Turkey & Candy Corn.  You can easily stitch this up into a pin before Thanksgiving...great to wear while cooking your Turkey.  I don't know about you...but....I love Candy corn....I just can eat only a few because it is so sugary.  I have no tummy problems and I love sweets and eat sweets too much...but when it comes to Candy corn... alittle goes a long way.

I also love turkey, stuffing and gravy with taters.  I like to look forward to the differences of each holiday throughout the year!

Come to the Whipperberry friday flair party

Heart of Halloween

This is a Spooktacular Halloween Etsy treasury.  I love treasuries on Etsy because you see a carefully selected collection of whatever the etsy member picked out....this way you see lovely items you would not have normally come across.  There are some very talented people on etsy making unique handmade items....so nice for Christmas gifts.

Freaky Franky Halloween freebie- stitchery design

Happy haunting....this is the Friday freebie pattern.  Franky has a thing for candy corn.  Between scaring the villagers and finding his mate...he eats candy corn.  This franky isn't scary, more goofy than anything.  He would make a cute pin or fridge magnet.  Next Friday I will have something for Thanksgiving....so come back. 

Today is my hubby's birthday.....I love him sooooo much, he is wonderful.  We already gave him gifts, so we are going out to dinner later...going to have fun!!

Have a great weekend!!

Needle felting fun for Halloween

MEOW!

Hello everyone....it feels like fall now....that chill in the air and the changing colors on the tree!

I just wanted to show you projects I have made by needle felting....for Halloween.

Needle felting is fun and easy....you use a barbed needle and poke wool roving (loose wool...in hunks) into wool or felt or just blending the fibers together.  Wool fibers have jagged edges...you can't see it with your eye, but it does.  This needle hooks the fibers together.

I made this witches head by blended wool roving together...even her hair is wool roving...attached at the scalp area.  Her eyes are so funny!

I love making pumpkins and then needle felting the pumpkins features.  Plus I love using twigs and sticks from my yard in projects.

This pumpkin man's head is needle felted and I gave him a fabric body with felt collar and feet.

This toothy guy makes me laugh.

This is one of my patterns....lots of fun.  I went alittle nuts making tons of them.

This crow looks furry...lol.

This witch doll is 100% needle felted wool roving....it was a challenge.

   I had to keep her.

Another one of my patterns.....this is one big crow...he was just at the quilt show.

This huge skull sits on my bed...I made a Halloween quilt and he just looks like the centerpiece. 

If you have never tried needle felting...I encourage you to try it....poking a needle into wool is a satisfying process....it is like a lil bit of magic!
