Welcome back to the FINAL day of our Halloween Blog Hop! Before we begin, I would like to give a BIG THANKS to all the wonderful designers who worked with me to make this hop possible for YOU! Remember, they don't have to do this... they choose to!
All the projects were so FUN! It was also awesome to have a variety of projects from a stuffed black cat... to a stitched Halloween tag! We can't forget all the wonderful wool projects either!!! I sure hope you printed off the patterns and added them to your stash, in case you don't have time to make them this year!
If you recall, I am a huge fan of Halloween! I have the best childhood memories of Halloween! I grew up in the country & took the bus home. The bus would drop us off at about 4:15... All of us neighbor kids would run home and get our costumes on and meet up shortly to go trick or treating together! But... before we went anywhere, we had to make the 1st stop, up the hill, at both grandma's! {I was blessed to grow up with them in our same yard!} They were soooo excited to see us all dressed up! Lily had the little bags filled with candy, while Avis gave out king sized candy bars! Then, us neighbor kids went around to all the neighbors, before we headed into town to go trick or treating! This was HUGE! It was like hitting the jackpot! Many times mom would drive us (as Halloween night tends to get cold here in MN) from block to block! As we got older, they dropped us off and we walked for hours trick or treating! It was just the best night of the year!
I also remember enjoying these seasonal cereals that only came out for a brief period of time! My favorite was BOO BERRY! When my daughters were younger, they too, enjoyed these cereals! Which was your FAV?
Since we had a local dime store in town... we were also able to enjoy some unique candies. I can just remember blowing these wax whistles like it was yesterday! So fun!
Of course, Halloween would not be the same without the traditional pumpkin bucket to gather all your treats in! I am actually surprised that they still make them these days!
We also got to experience and attend a lot of Halloween parties through 4-H, youth group & Women of Today. We would ALWAYS make caramel apples with the sheets of caramel!! I wonder if they still make these?? I still love a good caramel apple!
I also loved all the cute packaging and variations of candy we would receive! These were always so cute and a "big hit" if we received these!!!
If you recall, I had mentioned I would share with you some of my Halloween costumes{that I remember} that I wore for Halloween! My mom always made my costumes! The biggest undertaking was making a SMURF costume! Not only was it made out of fur, but you had to stuff the head to make sure it would stand up! That costume was so hot to wear! I can't tell you how many people borrowed that costume! I was also a record one year! Yep! You read that right! We stared with a hula hoop and then used black felt, I believe... and went from there! That was a fun one to get on and off. I can't believe mom just tackled any thing I sent her way! She was awesome! As I got older... I wore my great grandpa's striped bibbed overhauls and went as a bum. I also had his hanker chief hanging out of the back pocket! He died when I was little... so I think I always thought it was special to wear them! Such good memories! I hope this post stirred up a few good memories for you too!
So back to the HOP! Here is my little old owl ornament that was originally a stitchery pattern. It is so cute that we made it into a wool ornament! He is quick and easy to make! He can also be left out all year too! We also have kits available for $6.95 or 3 kits in one pattern for $15.00. We thought it would be cute to hang a few on a tree, too, so we gave you a good deal if you wanted to make more then 1!!! You can click the link below the picture for the pattern... and click this link if you would like to order a kit!
