For an afternoon project with the kids we baked Halloween sugar cookies and pushed bugs into the raw dough to make impressions, then added orange and yellow sprinkles. I am so grateful I have two bug loving girls!
For dinner we made a batch of Halloween bat and pumpkin pasta.

As my t-shirt yarn kick continues I created a two layer wreath using ribbon and t-shirt yarn. I love Halloween and one can never have too many wreaths hanging around. I think it might be time to investigate some table top wreath stands.

A few months ago I picked up a crappy, plastic, cupcake stand kit at Target on clearance knowing something would come of it. Out came the spray paint this past weekend and I knew just what needed a coat. I assembled the stand and spray painted it black. After it dried I glued orange velvet flower ribbon to the edges. Now it is time to get to baking so I can fill it up with some devilish desserts.

I picked this plain gourd up last year at a day after Christmas sale at Pottery Barn. I have had it rolling around my studio since then and finally the inspiration came to me for how I wanted to paint it. I went to the Tim Burton show at LACMA this summer and was so inspired by his imagination and characters. Thanks to my friends Jill and Scott for taking us. I channeled Tim Burton for this wonky little guy that now inhabits my dried gourd.

I created this Halloween Hounds-tooth Wreath by wrapping a grapevine wreath with black ribbon. I then used purple velvet ribbon and black and white hounds-tooth ribbon cut on an angle and glued them to the bottom. For the skulls I used the top of plastic rings that I found at the dollar store and spray painted them black and white. I added more ribbon at the top to hang it from and now I have it to enjoy for this, my favorite holiday.
