Wordy Wednesday: You Should Make This

Now I don't know if I'm up to this or really plan to do it but... when I saw this blogpost I thought it was the cleverest thing around. Especially if you have little girls! Now if you have a little boy and think he'd like it, I have no problems with that. Fun is fun!

In fact, I think this would be fun for an adult too! like me...LOL I'd say Holly is one clever woman!

12 Days of Halloween - Day 12

If you are still at a loss for ideas, there is always Martha with enough ideas to take you ahead several generations.

I do love this winner from the Great Pumpkin Contest. Could you have said no???


Finally, for those who ARE thinking ahead, how about next year's quilt?

The Quiltmaker is your source for this one.

I hope you have enjoyed reading these 12 days of Halloween as much as I have while making them. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays...even without the candy. Well, maybe not without ANY candy.... Spook on!

12 Days of Halloween - Day 9

Serious thought should be given by now costumes, and I know if you have children, you have all theirs ready and waiting. You DO don't you!?!?? Since my children mostly grew up in lands where Halloween was not celebrated, this mom was off the hook usually.

But what about other family members? You know, the 4-legged kind?



Pinch My Salt didn't neglect the family pooch. What canine would not be happy with a skeleton coat?

12 Days of Halloween - Day 7

Now this one appeals to me and reminds me of funny things we had at parties when I was young...the kind of thing that had us giggling and acting as if we (girls!) were appalled. Of course we enjoyed it but we had to pretend to be scared!



For all the directions for an eyeball machine, go to Michaels' for the project sheet. Not too many things needed and the skill level is 2 - one step up from the Huh? level.

12 Days of Halloween - Day 4

Are there wee ones in your house who still like coloring? Well, you can find pictures like this over at DLTK .

In fact you just might want to make one for yourself, especially if that Witchy Woman longs to emerge about now!

12 Days of Halloween - Day 3

Now everyone needs a craft or two to make the holiday new. How about some creepy spider napkin rings?


You can use these all October in the future unless you are one of those people skeeved out by spiders (and I know who you are!!). Making Friends will show you the how to. Just don't eat those spiders!

Ikea Hack for Crafts Table

I really like this hack on Ikea bookcases done by Kimberly Michelle. Look at the link to see the rest of the work she and Mr. M did on it. Nice up to date look with basic stock.
