Crafty Witches TableScapes...

All Hallows Eve TableScape.....

 I loved how this table came together....

 The tablecloth is actually a sheer curtain...it work amazingly well and I got the results I wanted...

 I found my WITCHES at TJ Maxx, along with my pumpkins and crows...

I love her WART!

 Target was my store for the Paper plates, napkins & coasters. I used my simple Pottery Barn plates as chargers....

 The candelabras were found at Ross....

I love my sparkling Spiders!

 I found the purple battery operated LED lights at Target and wrapped them in my ghostly table runners...They added an extra special touch to the TableScape

 My crystal wine glasses added a glamourous look. I CAN'T believe I have PAPER NAPKINS & PLATES mixed with my CRYSTAL!!! BUT...it LOOKS great!

 Too CUTE! And so in STYLE with her OWL!

All in All it turned out pretty darn CUTE!

 The friends & family that have seen the table have LOVED it!!!

My Kiddos this Halloween

Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween. It rained here, but we didn't let that stop us. We took the kids to the mall, and trick or treating in my cousins neighborhood.  Luckily my cousin, Laura had umbrellas. YEAH!  They had fun dressing up the most I think.  They haven't even eaten that much of their candy. Glad they don't obsess over it.

I wanted to share some of the fun photos I took. I shared most of these on Instagram (@tarajo4) already. In case you might have seen them there.

We had some fun with this photo. "No Tricks, Only Treats" LOL

He really didn't want to dress up but there was a little FB inside joke from a friend, so we took this pic. You will see more below. haha

My cute little Cave Girl

Corpse Bride - Hubby took the two littles to pick out costumes. I was a little nervous at first but they look so creepy and of course cute!

My Scary Ghost Girl - can you tell I had fun with these edits?!?

The FB inside joke - a friend commented on a photo of my two here was....

An aborigine and the missionary who is visiting the tribe!

I couldn't stop laughing.  The original picture did not have our service book in it. I had to retake it with him holding it. HAHA Thanks for the laughs Brandon!

They wanted to pose for this. Sister doesn't get to attack her big brother to often. ;)

And lastly, I had to get a sweet, smiling photo too!

How was your Halloween? If you have photos, please share!!

Halloween Breakfast

~ Goblin Boogers with a little Ghost Sneeze ~

We made a fun breakfast the other morning from a simple recipe. Remember Jamie's post about scrambled pancakes? You can see it here.  The directions are simple, we just added one thing and changed the name to make it fun for Halloween! LOL

Mix up your regular pancake mix according to the boxes directions. I used Bisquick. It called for 2 cups of bisquick, 1 cup of milk and 1 egg.

My extras....I add in cinnamon and sugar, and a little vanilla. I also add in a little more milk to make the batter thinner.

Now to make it fun for Halloween, just add in the green dye.

To cook...add a few pads of butter to your pan, pour in some batter and stir as if you were cooking scrambled eggs.  Keep cooking until all batter is cooked.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and its ready to serve.

All that is left is coming up with a funny/gross name for your treat!

We decided on Goblin Boogers for ours. Then once the powdered sugar was added, we thought it would be funny to say a ghost sneezed on the Goblin Boogers. LOL

Hope you enjoy this fun Halloween Treat!

Guest Post - Pumpkin on my Bumkin

Hi, I'm Tricia from Made By Me. Shared With You, a little sewing blog that I try to keep up.  I'm excited to be here sharing one of my favorite projects, the Lil' Pumpkin appliqued bodysuit.  Being a mother of two little ones, I like projects that are quick, simple, and easy on the budget.  This little appliqued bodysuit can be made up during a nap time, and will have your little bundle of joy ready for Fall.

I call it the "There's a pumpkin on my bumkin applique".  There are very few times in life when it's okay to have pictures or words plastered on your bottom, but the baby stage is one (if not the only) acceptable stage. Having boys, I don't get to indulge in ruffled bottom tights and bloomers, so an appliqued onesie will have to work.

It's a simple little applique that I designed.  I'll share the file with you so long as you respect that it is for personal use only.  The template is designed to fit a pre-washed Carter's 0-3 month onesie.  You can feel free to adjust it to different sizes.

My applique is done with some scrap knit fabric that I have had stashed away, heat and bond fusible adhesive,  some embroidery thread, and lightweight fusible interfacing.

Begin by applying the heat and bond to the wrong side of the fabric.  

Next transfer the image to the front side of the fabric using pattern marking/transfer paper. Cut out your pieces.

Adhere the applique pieces to the onesie.  I had the small pumpkin in the front, and the large pumpkin on the behind.  It should fit right in line with the seams and snaps on the onesie.

 I used my embroidery thread to do some hand stitching.  I feel that it adds some visual interest to the applique.  You could do some machine stitching around the images if you prefer.  If you are using a fabric that frays (knits generally won't) you will want to ensure that you either satin stitch (tight zig zag) around the image, or apply some sort of fray check or fray block to the raw edges.

Once I was done with the applique and hand stitching I used some fusible interfacing to secure the embroidery threads, and prevent the thread from irritating babies chest.

That's it.

A fun little applique for the season.

You can find the template here.  Once again, the template is for personal use only.

Thank you so much Tricia for sharing this adorable lil bumkin with us today! We loved having you.

Please make sure you stop by and thank Tricia for sharing this with you. You can find her HERE.
