What you missed - Halloween 2020


 I thought I'd post some of the pictures that I took from the past few years.  So here are some of the decorations that I put up Halloween 2020. 

First of all we got rid of a ton of decorations from the past.  Mostly the really heavy jars that we used to display.    It was getting a bit too much carrying all that up and down the attic stairs.

Here is the bookcase decoration for the year plus upclose pics:


I tried to make the 3D photos look better so I put them in different picture frames that I collected.

I repainted the 3 owls on top of my display cases.  The ceramic owls were from the Goodwill years ago.  I've never been a fan of brown, so I changed them to grey.  The white one in from is plastic from the dollar store.  I just repainted it.





Here is my Halloween Tree for 2020:


The bar:

The decorations that I made for the Halloween tree:





Pipe cleaner picks for the tree


And last but not least, the wreath that I made out of Dollar Tree pumpkins.  The back is made of cardboard.

Masks - what I did at the beginning of Covid.

 Yep I made masks.  Hundreds and Hundreds of masks.  I gave myself sewing burn out.  I actually haven't sewn much since.  But I thought I'd atleast show off some of what I did. 

I donated a ton and sold a few more.


I made two kinds of masks, a fitted mask and a more generic gusset "one size fits all" mask.  I made the fitted masks to be reversible.  













































So I also made some ear savers.  I had nurses asking me to make something that would help ear fatigue.  This was my solution.


Here are some of the snap options that I had for the ear savers.








This is only a little bit of the masks that I made.  I didn't get pictures of everything.  Some went out faster than I could take pictures.
