Out of the Dark - Blog Hop

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.

The pattern included the design for our sweeties treat bag.

On an annual basis we go to Disney World to celebrate at their Halloween Event.  We went earlier this month.  I feel that their price for this event is a bit much even though you can trick or treat throughout the park. They even give you a bag.  Did you notice the candy displayed around my ghost?

 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.

  

Well this has been a wonderful Hop.  Sharing again with all of you. Thanks again to Joan and Carol . I do hope to visit with you all again for the Virtual Christmas Hop.

But before we get to far off track please take a few moments to visit with everyone participating in this hop and if possible leave them a good word on their wonderful work. They are all listed below for your convenience.
