My partner for the latest Little Stuffie Swap received her bitty stuffies today. I ended up making 3 of them because I kept not being happy with how they turned out.
So, my first idea, because my partner said her favorite thing about Halloween was the costumes, was to make a stuffie with several different costumes that she could wear.
She could be a kitty:

a wizard:

or the headless horseman:

Although I am happy with the way the bunny herself came out, I wasn't fully satisfied by the costumes. So I decided to make another little stuffie. Something I was convinced I'd be able to do well. So I made a little black cat.

Although I think he's cute, it didn't feel like my best effort.
So, as a last ditch effort, I made a tiny mummy:

I kinda love him.
Finally, as the extra gift, I painted this domino pendant (a medium I am very into right now for some reason):

Received an awesome package from my Halloween swap partner. Check out all the loot:

2 cat toys w/ catnip, hand painted wooden skull box, "monster" wreath, stenciled pillow, pumpkin carving kit, Friday the 13th shot glasses, candy.

Closeup of the felt cat toys and stenciled pillow. Absolutely am in love with the pillow, and the squidjees are enjoying the toys very much.

Inside the skull box, with extra eyeballs!

Best. Wreath. EVER.

My Halloween swap partner received her goodies, so I thought I'd post some pics.
This is the graveyard jewelry box:

and inside:

A foam skull mobile:

Spiderweb candle holder (purchased from a thrift store and painted to look all pretty and stuff):

Crocheted slippers (these actually ended up fitting the recipient, which I was worried about, because they seemed so small, but she wears a size 5):

The "zombie attack" hoodie:

And a stenciled Jack tote bag:

Have I mentioned lately that I love Halloween?
