Halloween Costumes

I can't believe I forgot to post the boys in their Halloween costumes this year (I didn't get a picture of my husband and I in ours).

My oldest is Ben 10, my youngest is a Jedi Knight. I put together both costumes, though the Jedi Knight took alot more work. The Ben 10 costume was just painting a white shirt and finding green pants and the Omnitrex in the toy department for him to wear. I sewed everything for the Jedi Knight costume except the lightsaber and the boots.

Gingerbread monsters

I made gingerbread men monsters for my husband. He wanted some to take to work. I think they turned out awesome. I'm hoping I get a chance to make more. I drew up the pattern. I cut out the patterns in felt and embroidered on the details and added beads and buttons. I put heavy card stock and a ribbon in between 2 gingerbread man shapes.

Wizard's Apothocary

Well I made alot of Halloween decorations this year. Most of them were apothocary jars and incredients. I actually didn't get around to labeling everything. Most of the wet ingredients have shampoo of liquid soap in them.


This part wasnt't really part of the apothocary, but I had to share it anyway.
I found these signs at Hobby lobby and Michaels:
