Spooky Booky

Here is the apron I completed for my partner in the SpoOky~BoO~ScaRy swap over at Booming Aprons.

The requirements were for 1 apron, 1 potholder, and 1 treat bag. Apparently the apron was supposed to be a full, but I deviated a little (no, not me!) and made a half. I used the pattern for the "Spotless" apron in A is for Apron-my new favorite book that is full of nifty apron ideas.

I used the Chic-or-Treat fabric by Moda...I LOVE it! I seriously had a hard time parting with this one! I mailed it late, not because I didn't have it done (which is usually the case), but because I seriously wanted to keep it (and I wanted to get the batteries in the camera so I could snap the photos).

Here is how it all turned out:

A close up of the hauted house fabric I used for the pockets...

A close up of the cute Halloween buttons I found at JoAnn's...

The treat bag and potholder...

I used the "In the Bag" pattern from Pretty Little Patchwork (another useful book to have around) to make the bag. The potholder I just made up myself.

I have one more swap to go(Recycle Swap) and then I am taking some time off so I can get some merchandise sewn up to put in my Etsy shop.

Happy Halloweeny

Halloween 2007-The Mummy and The Pumkin




The scary mummy and the precious pumpkin. I thought the mummy would be an easy costume to make...I was wrong, but I think it turned out OK.






Halloween 2006-The Skeleton & The Frankenpug

I think this is my most creative costume to date. I cut the bones out of foam board and glued them to a black sweatsuit and slippers. I also painted them with glow in the dark paint so he could serve as his own glow stick while trick-or-treating...lol.



And here is my little Frankenpug...awww:)



Halloween 2005- The Chicky and The Rock







I think this is all I have...the rest of my halloween photos were taken before I discovered technology so they are all in my "photo box" which hides somewhere in my storage room in the basement...lol. If I run across anymore I will add them on.
