My Pinterest remakes!

I am so in love with Pinterest! I have also just started sewing. So you put both together and with the fact that I have a small little one..... and you might have a trifecta of crazy projects!

First Project:


This was pined but it was pictured from http://www.etsy.com/listing/156403538/girls-toddlers-skirt-and-shirt

I thought hey I can do that.....
 
This is my take on it.... Not too bad right?
I did a circle skirt with fabric I got from Wal-mart. Found the black shirt at target. Used Fusible web that I cut out with my free handed ghost. (tip... Make the eyes and mouth bigger! Or use buttons
for the eyes.) Then I sewed around the ghost, and around the month with a zig zag close stitch. After, trying many times with the eyes I finally just hand sewed black in the eye holes.
Next was fall décor...
I looked at this and thought please! painters tape and white spray paint easy!
AHHH NO!!! This took a few days to get right and then it still is not as pretty as this one... but I guess that's the love of pinterest right!? It reminds me of the Martha Stewart magazine I use to get and the crazy things I tried and cried because nothing ever looked as good!
What do you think? Small TIP: Make sure to use the green frog tape it doesn't breed as much as the blue tape... PLUS... I just found out that the frog painter tape comes in chevron!!! That would of been nice to know about a month ago! 
 
Plus the other pumpkin was painted by my little one and half year old. I found glow in the dark paint and let her go to town. Then it never glowed! The paint worked on paper but never on the pumpkin.... Try again next year...
 
Now on to Thanksgivings..... I think a runner is a must and another outfit for my little one....
THEN COMES CHIRSTMAS!!!!
