Wildly Wicked Blog Hop

This Wicked Blog Hop marks one year that I have been following Madame Samm's Blog Hops.  I found her blog by accident while surfing the internet and have enjoyed every single one of her blog hops, as well as her other creative blog posts.  It wasn't until May of this year that I started participating in the blog hops.  What fun it has been.

Thank you Mysterious Madame Samm and Wicked Wendy for hosting this spine-tingling blog hop and for cheering us on.

Before I show you my creations, please feel free to grab a little treat ... if you dare ...

 
Muah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

My first creation is from a pattern called Pumpkin Party Bowls by Poorhouse Designs.  It was difficult to photograph because it's meant to be a shallow bowl.  I used a heat-moldable interfacing so the shape of the bowl stays the way I molded it.



For my next creation I used my original tissue box cover pattern, which you can find here on Craftsy, and turned it into Frankenstein.


I made the cover as shown in the pattern, then just sewed the mouth and stitches using a straight stitch on my sewing machine and sewed on two 1-inch buttons.  As you can see, I used rick rack instead of pom poms for the trim.  The green fabric is from 1997!  I wish the manufacturers/designers would still print the year the fabric was created/released on the selvages.

One last look at everything together.


Grab another treat on your way out to visit the other ghoulish gals in today's lineup.

Peace,
Jan

    First, I had never heard of heat moldable interfacing. This is one of the things I love about these hops. How much I learn. The Frankenstein tissue box is adorable and very creative. 1997 - I can't remember what year any of my fabric was birthed. You are good. I don't even know what is from this year and just because I bought it this year doesn't mean it came out this year either. It might have been sitting in the store for some time, too. You are very creative not only with sewing but also with baking. You very deservedly belong on the wall of fame today. Congrats. Thanks for participating and sharing your creativity.

    Did you make those ghoulish cupcakes, too? Too real for me! :) I'd recently heard about the moldable fusible and it's great to see you project using it; really cute and can be used all fall season. Frank is cute...(say that quietly, please)...I'm sure he'd not be happy with my terminology. Love the idea of tissue box covers.
