Halloween Party Invitations

I saw this idea somewhere, even recently, but I couldn't find it again when I went to make them, so I don't take the credit for the cute idea, but I did like them...so I used the idea for my party invites this year....
I think a size smaller wiggly eyes would have looked better, but I just used what I had. Hopefully the ones I mailed will hold up to the abuse of the postal service.

Our Scarecrow

Finally...I've had this done for a while I just needed a stand and this weekend John helped me make the stand. He did a great job. And the best part is that we used stuff around here to make him. I love how he brightens up the yard!

I am a Child of God Baby Gift

I loved this Idea from: Made with Love and Glue and thought it would make a cute little addition to a baby gift I was sending to one of my friends.

Fall Table Runner

I really liked how this turned out. It really helped pull some more fall colors into my front room. Yeah...I put it on my piano that is in need of a refinish job...something that is on my to do list....a ways down on the list.
I used the tutorial on Diary of a Quilter. She also has a tutorial on how to do binding something that was new to me. Hopefully that part will go a little smoother next time. I had some issues with the corners...but I'm hoping it's something that gets better with time.

Halloween Pillowcases

I took the kids to the fabric store and let them pick their very own fabric. They were really excited, esp. Nathan...he chose the eyeballs :)

Brown Paper Bag Pumpkin Treat Bags


So these would have looked much better with orange paper bags, but I couldn't find any at Target and didn't have time to look everywhere else just for bags....so I just used brown ones. Kyla still recognized them as a pumpkin, so I was good with that. I filled them with some Cinnabon popcorn and gave them with visiting teaching last month. (I used floral tape for the stems)

Fabric Pumpkins

ok...not as cute as the ones they posted, but I like them.
I found this on Ucreate and followed the tutorial on Blogging with Holly . My favorite part is the felt leaves. I got that pattern from here.
