My Homework - Halloween at Home

I go crazy with the Halloween shopping every year, but this year it was slim pickings - and also I didn't have as much time to shop, so my contribution to this year's Professor Z Homework assignment is very small.


I did however find one cool thing in an unexpected place. In the pet section at poundland I found these fleece blankets with spider and bat designs:


I brought 4 - 2 bat and 2 spider ones. They are really quite small so I really want to make them into a patchwork throw. I already have a black fleece blanket and some leftover purple fleece (somewhere in a box...), so I just need to buy a small amount of white fleece fabric and then I will try be able to start stitching.

This is my design, please ignore the MS Paint drawing! The spotted bits are the pattern fleece blankets.


Hopefully it will be ready for next Halloween!

    I agree that this year it was Slim Pickins for Halloween... so we Created most of our own Decor or had Artist Friends Create something for us since the Shops were a Yawnfest this Season! *Sob* I had done my Homework before even realizing there WAS an Assignment *winks* since I only Discovered The Professor Z's Delightful Blog in the nick of time tonight! I Hope you will take a tumble down my Halloween Rabbit Hole at:

      I always thought America had much better choice than we do in the UK! Still it's better to buy local and support artists anyway =]

    Ohmigosh, those are so cute! They'll make a fabulous throw. I had to laugh - Poundland - I assume that's like our Dollarama? LOL

      Hehe, thank you! I really like them
      I have no idea what Dollarama is but I assume it's the same! It's a shop full of slightly random stuff and everything is £1 or 2 for £1! Can get some real bargains but also some utter rubbish!

    SO cute! :) Doesn't seem like this Halloween came and went without much fanfare? It was a really weird year leading up to Halloween.

      Thank you =]

      It really did for me too. Maybe it's because I was busy? But also the shops seemed to be very Christmas focused well before Halloween which I always think is rude - don't ignore the best holiday!!
