For those unaware- I love this time of year. In the previous post I outlined the comfort to be found in jeans and sweatshirts and the simple pleasure of crunching a good leaf. But underlying all these idyllic comforts are the magnificent trio of holidays that round out the end of the year: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I love them all! Cooking, decorating, and shopping for the elements of these holidays cheer me during these shorter and shorter days.
And yet, I have very few decorations for Halloween. These two have been my only addition for the last four years! Meet Ghosteo and Ghoulia- so named by TY, not me. I do adore them...
Given my recent interest in wall hangings, I decided to indulge in a bit of Halloween fun via fabric.
I started by hunting the internet for Halloween clip art that I thought would be cute together. After sketching out a rough plan on a piece of paper, I set about transferring these doodles onto fusible web and from there, onto scrap fabric from the stash. I sewed everything down with decorative stitches from the machine and in a week of evenings, it was finished!
My first homemade Halloween decoration! And you want to know my favorite part?
The little creepy mansion and it's neighborhood bats. :)
