Fall and Halloween Decorating

This is a bench my husband made from old wood

and old window. This is at the back door in garage.

 

Scarecrow door in garage

Primitive Welcome banner. I just repainted

the bench using a textured paint..before color

was white

 

                                      

Witch Parking sign

Pumpkin patch...I took a break and did a "me" project

there are 9

This is a bunny pattern from Sweet Meadows that

I made this year at Easter.  I think his little

round tummy is so cute. 

(vest was not included in pattern)

Halloween candy canes I order on Ebay.

I put them through the prim process and found

this jack-o-lantern on line.

I made this little mouse last year

Candy corn I ordered on Ebay

Wax corn ornies..these were made by Sandy

@ Olde Country Cupboard.

I found this old sock in the untility room

and turned it into a pumpkin, with

a twig from the yard.

 

These are pumpkins that I made.. I made the grungy jar with

a spider legs label..Paw Readings and coasters were bought

on Ebay.

This is a wool pillow I bought this

past summer at a Going out of Business Sale 

at a local gift shop.

 

Back door going to garage...he holds a

battery operated tea light

This is a birdhouse I painted..probably about 15

years ago when I was learning to paint...as I type

this, I'm thinking...I am still learning. I am trying

to perfect painted eyes on dolls....it's like the old

saying...practice..practice..practice

I love these guys..they are from a Sweet Meadows

patern. I had some at a craft show last year and

several mothers told their kids.."this is what

happens when you eat too much candy".

I made 2 or these bats last year..there is lots of top stitching

and I added wire so the wings can be posed. The eyes are

suppose to go underneath, but I wanted to see them so I put

them on top.

This is a wire frame and we decorate for the season.

My husband made a stand (not shown) so he

doesn't tip over so easily.  Our neighbor was watching the house

and feeding the animals while we were away..he lived

just across the road.  He saw a car at our house several

times and called the Sheriff's Dept. I wish I could have seen

this...the Deputy wanted to look in the garage...so the

neighbor pressed the button to open the door and as it

came up slowly...this wire man was dressed for Christmas

at that time at the back door...and when the Deputy saw the

bottom of the overalls he pulled his gun and when he

saw it was a snowman...well... my neighbor and the Deputy

 had a good laugh.

Fall display on my mother's old sewing machine

and cabinet. The items in the drawers are just

like she left it.  I have had it for 6 years.

 

I hope everyone has a great weekend...and I hope you

have a very successful craft show season.

Until next time...
