SEW KATIE DID:Halloween Heads

Halloween is my favorite holiday.

It is a creative holiday with its costume and decor.  Some go for scary, vintage or gruesome.  I just go for what I love.  And you get to walk around and check out what people decided to be and how they decorated their houses.

I hunt around every year for a few unique, high quality pieces and then try to hold out for the sale.  Some places like Crate and Barrel are obvious, but I poke around in less creative venues as well.  These pumpkin heads I got one year at Safeway and they still remain my favorite.

SEW KATIE DID:Halloween plants

I love it when I enter someone’s home and my eye keeps moving from one thing to the next without being overloaded so I try to remove the other distractions.  I also like to have something displayed before it is put to its actual use, thus the candy and punch bowls become ‘planters’ until Friday/Saturday.

SEW KATIE DID:Napkins

I resisted fabric this year and created with what I actually have.  There are still some napkins to be made.

SEW KATIE DID/Quilt as you go trick or treat bag

I pulled out the quilt as you go trick or treat bag I made Roan last year.  He requested I make a larger one.  I suggested he might need a larger pancreas.

SEW KATIE DID:Halloween Skull

My mother-in-law even got me some bling this year.  It is perfect for the hallway.

SEW KATIE DID:Planter

And even something for the bathroom.  It helps distract from the wallpaper that I’m resisting until kitchen is done;)

The crows like to congregate in my fir tree so I’m all set on the wildlife.

I’ll let you know next year what I find at the end of the season.  I’ve got it all saved to my Pinterest board for a quick look Sunday.

Happy week peeps;)
