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:






And here are my jars, ingredients and the staging of them:

Here is the picture of a jar with Bezoar stones, magic pied pipers flute, dried potion ingredients, poison dart frogs, spider venom, etc.:

Dragon Shopping Bag

I had this idea for a shopping bag for a while. I embroidered the words on to a pocket. It holds quite a bit.







I love the way it turned out.

Cat and the Hat Clothes

I made Colin and Gavin a pair of Cat and the Hat pj bottoms each. I also made Gavin a Cat and the Hat shorts outfit for school. I used the pattern in Sew-n-Go Kids. Here's the results:

Alien Washclothes

I made these knitted washclothes for my dad.



I'm planning to make a lunchbox to match.

I'm melting, I'm melting!!!

Well I think like all moms, I have tons of crayons laying around. I decided to melt some down and reuse them as gifts. Here are the results:



I used 2 different silicon baking pans to make these. I love the way they turned out. The smaller squares are candy molds, the larger flowers are for cakes, etc. I decided to make color "themes" when I did these instead of using just random colors. After they were melted I used a toothpick to swirl the colors.

Close up of the flowers:

The green is my son Colin's favorite one that I made. He keeps taking it, LOL.

Wrap Pants

I finally got pictures of my wrap pants.

I had enough left over fabric that I made a matching head scarf with this set of pants:


These are my favorites:

These cost a whopping $5.00 to make each. I got the fabric at MallWart for $2.00/yard. I think they turned out great!!!! They are very comfy.

Halloween Ideas
