I’m putting a lot of thought into my Halloween costume this year. There is an amazing neighborhood party every year that we are lucky enough to get invited to. The first year I went as Bad Betty. Dressed up like a zombie that was in their yard.

I won the grand prize!

The next year the theme was “Pirates”.

I dressed like a Tampa Bay Bucs Fan.

I didn’t win anything at that one. (The Bucs never win either. Oh well.)

2018 was the year of the “Aliens”! Terry and I went as characters from “Men in Black 2”. He’s Agent T. I’m Serlenna. And that’s my pet Alien. I thought we looked pretty good…..but we didn’t win. Again. The competition is really getting fierce!

Our host and hostess are REALLY into Halloween. This was their front yard last year. The year before there was a pirate ship.

And this year’s theme was just announced. Insert drumroll right here….. it’s “Witches and Warlocks”. And the competition is on!

Last week, Sew4Home.com ran a bunch of Halloween ideas and one was about a witch’s hat and there were a bunch of links to other witch items. Woo Hoo. This will be the best costume ever! (Although I seriously don’t think I can beat “Bad Betty’)

So besides finishing up a quilt (or 2 or 3)….I’ll be posting the progress on my costume. Here are the links to the patterns on Sew4Home.com in case you want to follow along!
