Halloween Bags

 My son made treat bags for this class.  These used the Sizzix treat bag die and several Tim Holtz Halloween stamps that he colored in.  I embossed the bags and then he added all the embelishments.  








Cards: Halloween Cards

 I used several Tim Holtz dies for these cards.  I also used the Sizzix ScoreboardsXL as the base.  I had a lot of fun making them.





Costume: Bearded Dragon

 This is my son's Halloween Costume this year.  This is the DIY Bearded Dragon Booklet for Head and Body by Valerie-Sew Thrifty Couture, LLC.  He is wearing the size small.  I had a lady at my church give me a bunch of double knit and I just picked up anything that looked lizardish and it worked!  I picked up the eyes a few years on clearance for like $.75 so the only cost was the pattern.  I really loved how it turned out and my son is very pleased as well.







Halloween Porch and Bench Yarn Bomb

I have been wanting to yarn bomb my porch for years and I finally got it done this year.  I have 4 metal supports that I bombed with my Halloween monster singers.  They are singing "Happy Halloween!"  at the top of their voices.  They are all out of tune😊




Here are two benches I monster bombed.  The bottom is mine and the top is a friend.  The feet are from a wonderful pattern called Monster Feet Yarn Bomb Crochet Pattern by Knits for Life.  I used a whole skein of the pound acrylic yarn for the bench piece.  These were super fun to make and they make the bench quite comfy.
