Witchy Hostess Gift

So I am part of the Creepy Crawl ....
and I am late because today I dropped my camera... but no worries, it's ok, I think! So enough waiting and all the drama. Are you going to a Halloween party and need a little something to take along? How about a little witchy gift?
 Isn't she cute??? If your costume isn't the best of show maybe the bottle of spirits you bring will be! Wanna know how to make one? It's super easy and you can use scraps of stuff you have laying around the house.
Gather up some supplies. You'll need a fabric for the hat, I used felt. Some kind of fabric for the skirt, I used 2 different kinds of tulle, but ribbon or torn fabric could work too. Some ribbon for the legs about a half an inch wide and a hair rubber band. Oh and hot glue, gotta have the hot glue!
So, I took a piece of paper and rolled it up to make a cone for a pattern, then cut a piece of felt the same size, rolled it up and hot glued it. Next, I cut a couple of circles the same size and glued them to the bottom of my cone. On the underside of the hat I cut a big X out of the flat part so it would fit down over the bottle.
Then I took the tulle and cut it in strips about 10 inches long and an inch wide. I tied them all around the rubber band until it was really full. If you have made one for a little girl probably do it the same way. It doesn't have to be perfect it's going on a bottle! I also cut legs about 6 inches long and cut out some little boots and glued them onto the skirt. Put the skirt on first and then the hat and you have the coolest looking bottle at the party!
Here's the top view, isn't she stylish? Happy Halloween, ya'll be safe!
Don't forget to check out the others in the Creepy Crawl on Sunday and Monday.

Halloween goodies!

Just thought I would share a couple Halloween things that I made for the craft show.
This wreath is the only Halloween wreath I had left so guess where it's hanging now? Yep, on my porch, creepy!
I coped this off of a blog but I cannot find who's, so if you know tell me and I will be sure to give credit where credit is due! I did make a change to the sign.
And these are left over pumpkin pillows, I had to have some too, can't sell all the cute stuff! When I posted some of these before people yelled at me and said they are not pumpkins, see the stems.....duh!
And a floral arrangement I had left, lovely and fallish for your Thanksgiving table! If you see anything here that you want to buy send me an email and I will get it in the mail to you lickety split!

Greatness!

Have you seen the new magazine Stitch, Craft, Create??? It is the most amazing magazine! I accidentally found it yesterday at Michael's. Once I got home I realized it was their first magazine. Every page is just amazing. Check out a few of the highlights.
I love this flower, it's on a stocking. And these fabrics are beautiful, perfect for my house! I had planned on making new ones for the family this year. This fabric is by a designer I am not familiar with. Her name is Anna Griffin, her fabrics are amazing!  They even have a store where you can order alot of these supplies that they have in the magazine. I see trouble!

Look at these trees! They are decorations for the button party, yep isn't that the cutest idea???

You have to get the issue so you can see all the amazing ideas for the button party.

These pillows are on my list too! They are made of t-shirt material.

And they have tutorial on their website for projects to make too, like this headband. I can see this with red buttons for the holidays.

And this little pin, what a cute teacher gift huh?
Anyway, they are not paying me to say any of this, but I can't get enough of this magazine. I keep rubbing my hands over the pages as if that is going to make me absorb it! Funny, with all the blog inspiration I rarely buy magazines anymore but the cover was just so enticing! So go and pick up your own copy, if you don't know what you are gonna make for Christmas you will soon! You can also follow them on FB and thier blog, they have a couple of really cute Halloween ideas. What are you waiting for... go! :)
