Here are a few pics from Halloween night. Click here to see the rest.

I’ve been searching for a really good looking Witch hat for a while now. I found nothing that was reasonably priced and all were made poorly. So I decided to make one.

I used acrylic felt that I happened to have. Next time I’ll use better material. Wool would have been nicer. I doubled up the felt as well as added a heavy interfacing between the layers. Then I decided the use my free hand embroidery foot to sew the squiggly lines all over. This, along with the interfacing, helped give it some stiffness. I wrapped tulle around the base and stitched it in place. Then I tucked black feathers under the tulle and stitched them down. In the back I pulled up one of the pieces of tulle, gathered it and sewed it in place. Then I added the crystal button.

Still gearing up for Halloween. Check out our Hallowindow.

Finished another tombstone this weekend.

Completed tombstone for this years display. It stands 40″ tall and is 11″ wide at the base.

I started a new blog that will post all of our Halloween projects. It’ll be a great way to keep that stuff all in one place every year. I’ll always post one pic here for each entry with the link to the blog to see the rest of the pics and post.
