DH decided a couple of weeks ago that he was going to be a pirate for Halloween. His work always does a Chili Cookoff for Halloween and his department was participating, and they had all decided on a pirate theme. Which meant that I was volunteered to make some of the props and costume....yippee (can you here the sarcasm?)
So, I made some sails for the pirate ship DH built - that was pretty easy. Then he handed me this fabric:
Any ideas what he wanted me to make with this stuff? It felt like plastic wrap....eww!! Here's a hint:
Yup! A sash for his pirate outfit! As you can see, he's pretty pleased with the result :)They didn't win any of the prizes at the Chili Cookoff, but I think they still had fun, and that's really the point, right?
So yesterday we decided to get everything set up for Halloween. I carved a pumpkin for the lap of our scarecrow:
And DH set up his scary ghoul that popped up by remote (some of the littler kids didn't like him at all - especially our nephew!) and his fog machine. Mom, DSis, DBiL and nephew came over for dinner before the trick or treaters showed up (they live in the country and get no kids coming over), then we spent 2 hours handing out candy to roughly 250 trick or treaters. Wow - that's a lot of candy!
Next post I'll show a pic of the scarf I've been working on, as well as an update on my circle quilt.
I hope you all remembered to turn your clocks back!
