Good morning fellow hoppers. It is wonderful to be back and hopping with all of you again. Thanks so much Carol and Joan for taking the time and energy to host these 2 hops.
When I signed on to this hop and started to look for a new idea or 2 I tripped over this unfinished table runner. I know I made the bulk of it at least 11 years ago but never did the binding. I assumed that I had started it for a Halloween Hop back in the day but I can't find where it may have appeared. I do know that I used it for several fall seasons on my dinning room table.without the binding and no one ever noticed.
Sew in honor of this hop, it is officially finished. Ya Hoo,
Next up, Bouncing around the internet I found the Free Pattern for this adorable Ghost. If you look her up you may see a slight difference.
I have a very, very bad habit of seeing a pattern and breezing through the instructions a little tooooooo fast. My little Ghost is stuffed, the patterns adorable ghost was not stuffed. Hers holds its goody box well, mine needed a few props to get her to remain standing. I did do all of the stitches by hand as in the pattern which is something I haven't done in quite some time.
Well that is what we came home with from the trick or treat part of the evening. Yes it is more than average but I need to get something for my money. I worked diligently on finding every candy location that there was in the park, a couple more than once.. tee, hee, tee, hee.
We were at the park for 3 days. Michael loves the Haunted Mansion and we always visit it every day we are at the park. I decided that I would memorialize this trip by taking a couple of the photos that were taken while you are on the ride and making them into Placemats.
Michael loved them but I don't think he understands that they are for him to look at not eat on. That they fall under the heading Halloween decoration.

I love your table runner! You made quite the candy haul;)
ReplyDeleteI love the placemats with a picture on them! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteSome days, it's the tiniest things like a binding that finally gets put on a project. LOL!! I have so many of those around here. Your runner is absolutely gorgeous and even better bound! Love that ghost candy holder. You know how jealous I am of your Disney visit. The placemats are such a fun way to commemorate it! You always inspire me!
ReplyDeleteGreat Halloween projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tradition! My first trip to Disney World was in early October one year, and I was amazed at the wonderful decorations everywhere. Very cute idea to use those photos on placemats!!
ReplyDeleteGoing to Disney for Halloween has always been on my wish list. Maybe someday it will happen. I love how you made placemats with that picture. Finishing a project, no matter how old it is, is always a winner in my world. It’s a really nice table runner, with or without the binding. That ghost is just the cutest! Nice job with all these fun projects and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I wish I was at Disney with you
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects! I think your stuffed ghost is just fine--I would probably do the same thing. :) Very cool placemats--terrific memory maker! I didn't know Disney World did Halloween themed things. How fun that would be!
