I Love My MUMMY

I saw this cute idea for a halloween candy jar and had to make one...I love it, especially the eyes looking out under the bandages.  Everyone needs one:   buy a square glass canister with a lid......fill with candy (I put in halloween taffy)  cut some strips of cloth about an inch wide.....glue on two google eyes.....wrap the cloth while securing here and there with a glue gun.   I finished this off with a little sign attached with rafia that says,  I love my mummy!        So cute!

Autumn leaves

I love decorating for Fall.  It is great because it is not only a season but there are two holidays that you can use alot of the same decorations.  This year I made these fall leaves that I can spread down the table or put around the living room.  They were so easy:   Find some leaves that you like the size of in your yard.  Put them on the copier and make yourself a pattern.  Cut them out of different colors of felt (way cheap).  Then sew the veins on your sewing machine.  (if you don't feel comfortable eye balling it like me  try drawing the lines with chalk first.)    Voila,  leaves........

Now we can sing "It's Autumn Time, It's Autumn Time,
                             the leaves are falling down"

Am I the only one singing?
