Haloween Crafts

by Kelly

Halloween is coming. Are you ready?



This little ghost is so cute you just want to eat him up. And that's okay, 'cos he's completely edible. Yes, even the googly eyes. Find out how on  Hungry Happenings.




Cross Stitch pattern from Krenik. Krenik is an awesome place to buy your crafty supplies or get inspiration from their free patterns section. 


And finally, Red Heart has a new way for you to decorate your pumpkins if carving them up is too messy or traditional for you. Simply crochet them a costume instead.






here at the Red Heart site.

Love that pirate pumpkin. Arrr.

Now that I've gotten the hang of things, I find cross stitch kits a little dull because there's not a lot of room for creativity. Embroidery and crewel work kits are still fun, because I can experiment with new stitches.

I just bought a Trish Barr Needlepainting kit that I am excited to try. Needlepainting is a whole new thing for me to learn. But first I have to finish my current knitting project. Meh.
