Ding Dong, I Stole Her Shoes!

I've always wanted Dorothy shoes ever since I watched Wizard of Oz as a little girl. Now I have them. Well...I have some that I can't actually wear lol. I've been trying to make my own Halloween decorations ahead of time and I saw a picture over at Pinterest that was a DIY Wicked Witch leg's & ruby slippers. Okay...so I have the patience for some things, but not for all of that so I grabbed an old pair of heels that are too small for me, bought red glitter and starting on my shoes. I'm pretty sure I ingested a crap load of glitter after all this was done!

Sigh. I love them! If I hadn't painted the inside of the shoes black (they were a weird greyish plaid color before) and if the shoes weren't too small then I would totally be wearing these...like everyday. :-) One Halloween decoration is done...now only five hundred more to complete. Haha!

Monster Ball

So I've been inspired by Pinterest.com to make these little monsters for fun! I went to Michaels, got some felt and started drawing out some monsters. I suppose I would have a million of these guys if I just pulled out my sewing machine, but I have thoroughly enjoyed hand-sewing them while chilling out to one of my favorite shows. They look so silly and are very easy to make! There isn't a particular reason I'm making them except that I have a ton of fun doing them and I thought it might be a fun idea to make more for Halloween, stick them in a basket with a cute sign saying "Adopt a Monster" and hand them out while I trick or treat with my nieces and nephews. :-)  Dorky...I know, but I thought it would be cute.

Here are my "Monster Ball" creations:
