Getting Ready for Halloween

I have had ideas tumbling around in my head of late, but there has been much drama in finding my three dear cats a new home. My allergies have been off the charts and I am just unable to keep them any longer. Throbbing headaches that never end and daily puffy eyes are just not my idea of a good time. :( Thankfully friends and family have adopted them, so I will still get to visit my sweeties from time to time.

Enough drama, on to crafting!

Over the long weekend I felt inspired and thus wandered to the fabric store to take advantage of the holiday sale and pick up some more felt. I have a few ideas sketched out for Halloween, but here is the first one to be sewn up. Without further ado, let me introduce you to my little snaggel toothed bat.



It is about six inches wide from wing tip to tip. Sewing black on black is a challenge but Saturday's bright sunny weather was just the thing I needed to stitch this cutie up. I've stuffed it plump and used little buttons for the eyes.

As soon as storm Hermine gets done pouring rain around here I am going to try and take some better snaps out on the porch. As soon as that's done I'll be posting this cutie up in my Etsy Shop.
