I would like to finish up October before I begin moving forward. I had a lot of October stuff that I wanted to post, but my time was taken up with personal things and vacations. I neglected my blog.
HALLOWEEN:

Halloween Pillow Covers:
I had some remnants of Halloween printed fleece and decided to cover my sofa pillows; one is black with ghosts and the other is crazy yellow. There was a little more fabric so I made some small pillows, too, that fit the leftover fabric.
They all have velcro openings so they can be stored easily in the Halloween totes and I can make other covers for other seasons.
I have lots of pillow forms from my days clerking and store managing at House of Fabrics. The small 12 x 12 is supposed to be a gift and the narrow one I filled with a used pillow that I brought home from the mission and washed up. [See link on washing pillows: washday whites on February 2, 2015.] I cut one of these former Walmart pillows in half and sewed it closed then used it as my filler for the narrow yellow pillow. Voila--recycle, reuse, repurpose.

This was a last minute project I threw together just before Halloween. I have more to make next year. See next October.
Halloween Jewelry (a small sample):

| Pumpkin Earrings |

| Swarovski Skull Earrings |
Halloween Wreath:
And finally, my Halloween Wreath that was hurriedly put together from my grape vines late in the summer

when I was supposed to be picking elderberries. Dan spray- painted it black for me and I hung some Halloween stuff on it quickly including one of my necklaces--Halloween Bones.

It was not that impressive, but it is all mine. Perhaps I can fix it up more next year. I love the black leaves on it, but they keep falling off. Oh, well.
That is all the pix I took, but there was so much more. It is all put away now. See you next OCTOBER.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
