Friday Night Sew In

A while back I came across this on the blogosphere, Friday Night Sew In, run by the blogs Handmade by Heidi and Crafty Vegas Mom. I thought it was a neat idea, its Friday leave me alone and let me work on stuff!

Its no secret that Halloween is one of my favorite times of year! This year I am so thrilled to be able to decorate the house! I have a few ideas already and thought since I had the time why not get some stuff done while I have some time.

Pinterest is chock full of decorating with bunting. For those not familiar bunting are the little flags on string. I decided to get some Halloween bunting going by using some burlap and the freezer paper stencil technique. It comes out looking pretty nice and can be used for other occasions, such as weddings.

Be sure to check back soon and I will have a tutorial posted!

Also if you want your kids to get in on the crafting action I made some bats. This was for a Summer Reading club program I did, Bats at the Library. I loved the bats and thought they were so cute (and easy to make) I decided to make a few for the house. Also they are made with a clothespin so you can clip any old place you want.

I will also have a tutorial for my bat friends. So check back later!
