i just finish my halloween bed!

Wow!

That looks great.

I am getting my library of old Halloween magazines out tomorrow and see if there's a project I might want to start.

Awesome!

But now I really need a nap....

That is the greatest! Wonderful job!

The night pumpkin, I love your bed! Did you make everything yourself? If so, how long did it take?

Andy, I do the same thing. I save all my Halloween/fall magazines from over the years and during the summer I'll look through them for project inspiration. If I'm going to make something, I like to start it over the summer so it'll be ready when it's time to put everything out. I hate when I'm already in decorating mode and I'm still working on something.

One project I think I'm going to try is with those miniature trees that come in a package of 10 or 12 that you use for display in miniature Christmas villages. I did this for Christmas last year and saw something similar for Halloween on a website. You bleach the trees, then dye them. For Christmas I bleached them and then glued on glitter and miniature glass balls. They looked like vintage bottle-brush trees. Some of the Halloween ones were dyed orange and black, or just one color. I'll have post the link when I find it. It's so much fun and easy, and you can get very creative with this project.

That is so sweet! I love the pattern choices! Are you going to leave it up all of the time, or are you only leaving it out for Halloween?

( I would have to leave it all all of the time!)
