Candy Corn Bunting


Candy Corn Bunting, originally uploaded by RusticOkie.

Can someone tell me where October is going? When we were leaving the valley this week I made the comment of not seeing anyone again for a while since we were tired of traveling and was shocked when I heard "Well it's only 2 weeks until Kinsley's birthday party". Um...WHAT??? This can't possibly be. I haven't made anything for the party yet. I haven't even mailed the invitations! And wait, that means its only 3 weeks until Halloween. I haven't done anything for Halloween yet either. And my baby can't possibly be turning 3 in a mere two weeks. Ugh. I need a pause button. Now.

I had lots of pretty decorations in mind to make for Halloween this year but it looks like this might be the only one that gets completed since I'm going to have to get it serious party crafting mode in a hurry. I think it's pretty cute, although I'm not digging this photograph of it. Sort of boring. It needs to be hanging in our little window with lots of other decorations underneath but that might not happen this year. Thankfully this was super easy to sew together or we'd have no decorations at all.

I can't even just pull decorations out of a box somewhere either. I've never really been a fan of decorating for Halloween. I'm not sure why, it's just not something I've ever felt like doing. Hubby loves halloween decorations but I think they're creepy and gross. I guess that's the idea really but it's just not my thing. Plus the creepy decorations scare the heck of of Kinsley so they're a no go anyway. I had envisioned lots of candy corn, silly-faced pumpkins and a friendly ghost or two but not this year. Maybe next time...

  1. I love the candy corn. I'm like you, I don't really like Halloween decorations so instead I use pumpkins and candy corn, cutesy stuff that will last until Thanksgiving. I guess, fall decor is what I'm going for. We will carve pumpkins and I have a Halloween door mat and one little light up ghost but that's it for holiday specifics. I sold the rest of the stuff from our party last year at our garage sale this weekend.

  3. Not sure why that posted twice, but, I forgot to add, Target has candy corn dish towels 2 for $1.50! They are really cute and in their "deals" section.
