Halloween party, part 4: Dining room decorations!

And last, but not least, the dining room!


Shhh...don't pay attention to the fact that I made two left hands. Oops!



I didn't have time to paint these, but I thought they looked ok as they were. Closeups of completed skeleton sconces:






There were also mice hiding on the stairs leading up to my sewing room (though they were a bit hard to capture in pictures):


And my favorite, bats in the greenhouse! (Unfortunately, we didn't think about the fact that there aren't lights in the greenhouse, so once the sun went down, no one could see them. Oops!)

Halloween party, part 3: Living room decorations!

An overall shot of our fireplace wall. Here's the right side of the fireplace:


Aaaand the left:


The candelabras, wreath, tiny skeleton hands, little stuffed ghost and gargoyles are all store bought. I made the little garland over the fireplace.

There are also some little mice running around in the bookcase. Can't see them? Let me zoom in a little:


There's even a little mouse hiding out at the base of one of the walls, welcoming our guests into the dining room. :)


We also had some little bats hiding out in our lamps!

My peaceful morning...

I like this snow fall on Mondays thing we've got going on. Just enough to make it pretty...not slick.



I finally have the decorations up and the living room is mostly clean. I might add some little red garland to the fireplace...we'll see. Doesn't it look so cozy though? :)
