Spooooooookkkkkkeeeeeee!

We had family staying with us this weekend so we had our Halloween Party on the Saturday night rather than Sunday, means kids can go trick-or-treating tonight!  Compared to our American cousins we do hardly anything for Halloween but as a family we like to have a party and eat disgusting food and get dressed up!  Here's what we did this year......

Dead Flies in the cupcakes

Cauldron of crisps!

Pepperoni pumpkins

even the gerbils cage was decorated!

Worms in a bun were really disgusting!

Miss M getting into character

MIA!

Ok so I know I've been gone for ages, I know its taken me a long time to get anything made but here we are at last!  Drumroll please...........
I made a banner!  Whoohoo!  We do a Halloween party for the kids and each year we gather a little more Halloween decor, usually plastic spiders and the like so I decided that it needed to be fabric.... and I HAD to buy some Halloween cotton. Searched around and found Robert Kaufman Eerie Alley so that and a bit of black twill and orange thread and we have a banner.

Ok I know its not the most amazing creation in the world of crafty blogs but I'm back!  I also have bought some purple corduroy to make a skirt for myself (maybe with a bit of reverse applique if I can find a suitable fabric from my stash to contrast it), a lion costume for Miss M for school (need to get some fun fur!) and a little business venture for a friend.  I also made some curtains for our study which I decorated the other week which ended up having to be hand sewn as the fabric was too thick for to do a blind hem on my machine!  Took ages but done now!  I want to decorate Miss Ms bedroom and make her curtains, pillows, duvet etc but I think I'll wait til after Christmas as there is enough to be doing without making life more difficult!!!!
