Well, I would like to say that I have been busy with all sorts of exciting things and new ideas, but the real story is that I am still stitching. Yes, it is taking me a long time to stitch the rose throw cushion by hand, but I am still convinced that it will all be worth it in the end (at least that is what I keep telling myself as the clock ticks by and I am still stitching). So, while I am busy finishing up this project, I thought that I would offer up another couple of cute ideas for Halloween next week.

Last week, a friend of a friend of a friend on facebook (I am sure you know how that goes) shared a link to a really fun little idea for a kid’s craft (although, I might be tempted to give it a try, and it has been a few years since I was a kid) that was posted on Crafts-for-all-Seasons.com. This little skeleton is made of Qtips! Who knew that when you put Qtips on a black background that they could look so Halloween-y?

The other neat idea I came across was an invisible lolli-pop. This is a truly fantastic idea for any kind of Halloween party (although if my imagination runs away with me, I can also envision these lolli-pops as favours for Christmas, New Years, Birthdays, or even just a really cool gift for that person who has everything) or for something to do with the kids to keep them busy during the long wait for trick-or-treating. These lolli-pops are posted on MarthaStewart.com. It is almost mindboggling the things that you can put into one of these lolli-pops. If you really want to disgust someone, I am sure a plastic bug would do the trick, and I like the idea of Halloween candy, as posted on the instructions at MarthaStewart.com, but I keep thinking that there might be other funky things to include too… the possibilities seem endless! What do you think? What would you be tempted to display inside a lollipop this Halloween?
