I found these little cuties over at 6 Bittersweets via Design Editor.  These would be a great last minute Halloween treat for your parties on Sunday.  Love, love, love!!

This is a sneak peak into our guest post for Jen at Tatertots & Jell-o Friday, but I just couldn’t wait to share!

Not too long ago, I discovered some fabulous sweater flowers made by Linda over at Craftaholics Anonymous, and thought I would give them a go.

First, you will need some old sweaters.  I found mine at a thrift store for a few dollars, I just couldn’t stomach cutting up my sweaters knowing how much I paid for them.

Take the sleeve of the sweater and cut roughly a 4 to 5 inch section off.

 

I double thread a regular sewing needle and tie a knot at the end. Fold the sweater round in half, right sides out.

 

Hand sew a basting stitch along the bottom 1/4 of the sweater round, making sure to catch both layers of sweater.

I like to pull the thread while I continue the basting stich.  I find it’s much easier to gather, and it lessens the likelihood of the thread breaking.

Once you have completed the basting stitch, tie a knot to secure.

Flip the flower over.

Now you can embellish the flower center however you like.

With a button…

…or another type of fabric flower.  This is a twisted muslin flower.  Aren’t they fun!!!

The ideas are limitless!!  I have visions of a Sweater Flower Christmas Wreath in my future!!

Last night I went to a super fun Halloween get together and it got me thinking about all of the amazing treasures I have found out in the blog world, so I thought I would share some of my finds.

I LOVE these bats from Crafty Sisters.

Photographer Rebecca Cooper gave great tips for photographing your little ghosts and goblins this Halloween via the lovely ladies at Eighteen25.

These just look sinful! As one of those strange people who adore candy corns, I have put this one on my must try list.  You can find the recipe at BakedBree.com.

Ok, so this is from a Fall post, but I thought it looked sooo yummy to have after a brisk night of Trick-or-Treating.  It’s even starting to cool down here in Vegas!  Check out their other amazing Fall goodness at Kara’s Party Ideas.

There they are again, those tasty little candy corns!  This comes from another candy corn lover, Jennifer from Shutterbug and the Sweet Life.

Happy Haunting Everyone!!
