Come into my Parlor...

Black Widow Spider

 

"Come into my parlor ..." said the spider to the fly.  Cue scary music.  This spider was so fun to make.  Thanks goes to Brenda Sanker/The Vintage Polka Dot for making this pattern available.  Its a keeper.  Thanks also goes to my wonderful DH for making the base and stand.  He also is my craft critic.  I made 2 and they are 13 inches and 16 inches respectively, from base to signage.

These vampire bats are grungied to the extreme and quite scary with their fangs.  They are a Chestnut Junction pattern.  I made 3 of these.  Despite how they look, they smell good, too!  *snicker*

Hallows Eve Scarecrow

 

My scarecrows are so spooky!  OoooOoo!!  Made of grunged burlap and sticks from the yard Mr. Scary is on the J.O.B.!  He's been stuffed with moss, decorated with Sweet Annie and has some friendly crows keeping him company!  He has a Jack O'Lantern head made of muslin, painted, sanded and stained with features stitched out of floss.  His sign is made of muslin, also stitched with floss, and reads, "Hallows Eve".  Even though he's grungied and dirty looking, he smells of cinnamon.  Made from a pattern by Dee Duncan.

Oh Yeah! Thanks Carla!

Did ya notice that my header is fixed now?  Thanks Carla for giving  me a bit of encouragement.  It was touch and go for a bit as I deleted my background LOL!!  But, I think I have it sorted now.  Whew!

I've been so super busy making orders.  I've made scarecrows and more owls and bats, Oh MY!  I also made some clothing for a Baby Doll named Candi.  She needed some duds and Amber, her mama, had some tea parties long overdue.  So, I made her a few things.  I had a photo shoot.  My dh did the honours.  And we got a couple good ones I'd like to show off. 

So, without further ado, I leave you with the Candi photoshoot!! ta DA!
