Hey everyone..Happy Halloween

I have the perfect Halloween post, but first I have to say two things....Number one is if there were a dingbat costume I would've humbly wore it...Lately I put something away so I can find it and then I cant remember where I put it!
The second thing is I cannot follow a quilt pattern. I made a table runner and it turned out gorgeous..However, the pattern said you could pour a cup of tea and by the time you were done with it, the top would be done...Let's put it this way, I couldve grown the tea, harvested the leaves, dried them and drank a gallon...I had to take it apart five times to figure out what I was doing wrong...jeesh...
I had some of the cutest little trick or treaters tonight...One little guy was so precious...I miss my grand kids...I miss trick or treating with them!
I joined Aunt pitty pats halloween tote swap and she was my partner! We both have our packages so I thought I would share....She sent me the most adorable bag and mug rug with a zombie on it...I have used it as a book bag all week and taken it to work and everyone thought it was adorable!

















And here is the whole package....She sent me a cellophane bag of candy too...It is not here in full, because I either ate it or forgot where I put it...I especially love the little black cat pin keep!


















I sent her a tote, a mug rug with the same fabric and some little goodies...


















The mug rug actually was an accident, but it ended up with little pockets on one side and I thought it was really cool!






















Here is the whole thing before I mailed it....















I really enjoyed this swap..it made me feel like a kid and I LOVE orange.....


I also have made THE tablerunner and I was in the shabby chic fall bag swap and my partner an I both just loved our bags, in fact I immediatly cleaned out my blackhole of a bag and switched...I will post the other two swaps in my next post...Watch out for zombies......
