So what does one do at a Halloween party for 9 first grade girls?
- Decorate your own paper pumpkin (big hit)
- Make your own salt dough creation (big hit once we added enough flour to get rid of the stickiness)
- Run around outside (big hit)
- Eat a snack (always a big hit)
- Guess what's in the bowl by touch (so-so, the runny jello received the most aaaaaahs)
- Costume runway with winners such as Funniest Costume (not really a good idea even though everyone was a winner and they all received the same prize)
- Duck, duck, goose (the kids' idea and a BIG hit)
I decided to do some Halloween decorating and yes, these are both super trendy right now. Or maybe they're not and I'm just late to the party.
It is double-sided. After experimenting, I ended up using an overlapping zig-zag stitch.

LOVE the decorations!
super cute! sounds like all the kids had fun.
I just love how you captured the girls' happiness through those pictures!
The decorations are adorable. I remember you saying before that you had a Brother sewing machine. What model is it and does it work well?
Thanks!
Kathleen - I do have a Brother sewing machine. I bought it in 2005, I think. According to the manual, it's an NX-200. It's okay for what I do. It doesn't like anything thick and definitely isn't as sturdy as an old machine. Also, the tension is overly sensitive. I grew up sewing on a machine from the '60s and '70s. They don't make things like they used to.
Your girls are just too cute!!
