Halloween dinner!

I LOVE Halloween foods! Each year I cannot resist making a few fun things for the special day!
Breakfast:

spider web eggs: (martha stewart) Add a bunch of blueberries (frozen) at the same time you add the eggs. boil 10 min., take eggs out, crack with spoon, and return to pan- put in fridge (still in water) to cool down to desired temp.


Saturday Night Dinner:

Mummy Dogs

Carrott Fingers (kraft)

Devilish eggs (martha stewart)


Sunday Night (HALLOWEEN) Dinner!

Candy corn Jello (martha stewart- only I'm going to just make mine in solid layers)


Breadstick bones (Kraft?)

Bat meat pie (Meat Loaf) and Ghost potatoes (martha stewart)



Dessert:






We have to bring cupcakes to the ward trunk or treat, so we're going to try these 2 out:

Brains (martha stewart)

Witches feet (BH &G) boots made of tootsie roll.
Made thse fingers for a halloween party this week- only take about 10 min. from start to finish

Halloween Owls


My sis Kelly came out to visit a couple weeks ago (I'm way behind on posting so I'll probabally post on that a bit later) we made these cute owl pillows! We saw a photo online of some like this and created our own. Only took a couple hours.


1. cut out pattern of desired size (we used some type of upholstry valor, the original used cordoroy but we didn't have any on hand)

2. top stitch felt eyes, and beak

3. iron edge of wings under and topstich them in place (I like to stich 1/4 inch from edge of wing and then press under along the stich- helps the press look nicer)

4. sew right sides together

5. Flip, and stuff

6. hand sew on feet.
