Southern Scraps

Old t-shirts or cheap Dollar Store shirts make easy, inexpensive projects. Here are three projects using t-shirts on my must do list! Shirt to skirt by I Am Momma- Hear me Roar Braided scarf by Making Lemonade T-shirt to vest by How Joyful Have a great Halloween. We're busy preparing for a Zombie Apocalypse at our house tonight! (Edited) Check these other great t-shirt projects: t-shirt bracelet t-shirt scarves t-shirt dress 

Today I'm excited to feature a super cute shop- Maddie Mae Lane . Jersey Ruffle Scarf

I tried out this recipe for pumpkin cookies. Yummy! I made a batch with butterscotch chips and one with chocolate chips. Both were very good. I ran out of baking powder, so I made the second batch with self-rising flour and omited the baking powder, soda, and salt. There is always a way to tweek a recipe.

My hubby is also a creative type. Unlike my projects, which are usually just to look pretty, his projects involve some type of working mechanism. This year he made a skull fountain to add to our Halloween decor.

I made myself a fun little shirt using my Silhouette SD and the heat transfer material. This is my first heat transfer project and I had a little trouble getting it to adhere. I had to go back with the iron a second time after I put the shirt on and attempted to wear it because the transfer was peeling up, so if you've got any tips for me, please share.

There are several button jewelry projects out there that I'd like to do. Since it's getting time to think of Christmas, I thought I'd highlight a few. They would make great gifts: Fabric button necklace from Blue Cricket Design

We've finally gotten the majority of the Halloween projects and decorations up. The hubby will tinker with his things in the yard daily until Halloween, but I'm done inside the house. All that's left is to share with you in case you need some last minute ideas. Here is my dining room centerpiece for this year, inspired by a project at Michael's . I already had items on hand, so I didn't have to go to Michael's this time to make it. Here's the whole table. I used the same mats and napkin rings from last year . I've got a piece of creepy cloth from the Dollar Tree under the tray for a table runner. This is a quick and easy project, most of which you can get from the Dollar Tree or Dollar store. Throw some moss on the tray and a few bugs and spiders to add to the effect.
