Hats!
This morning I'm heading to an event hosted by our Rug Hooking Guild that they're calling HOOKOWEEN. I'm not much of a Halloween fan, but everyone is encouraged to wear a hat of some sort (witch preferably), so to make it more fun for me I decided to participate in the hat competition. I bought a hat at the Dollar Tree and embellished it by making a ruffle and flower out of newspaper. Then I added words by cutting letters out of the paper also and spelling out Spooky, Eek!, and Boo. Found a black spider and VOILA! Here's what I'm wearing today for a grand total cost of $1.35! It will be fun to see what the other ladies come up with.
It's a potluck lunch, so for my contribution I made some witch hats using Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies and some Hershey Kisses attached with orange icing - Yum!
I'll post about the day's activities as soon as I can. There will be a rug display showing fall & Halloween themed rugs, so that will be fun to see!

Love you hat, Gayle. So clever!
I've never been a fan of the spooky side of Halloween. Years ago I decided all Halloween decor at my house would be pumpkins, and scarecrows. No ghosts, mummies, vampires, etc., etc. So I guess it is maybe more harvest themed than Halloween, but I use the orange/green/black colors for Oct., whereas I switch to more "Fall" colors for November. May seem silly to some, but that is where I am comfortable.
Gayle, I think that your Hookaween hat is adorable and I like that you spent very little money for it. It looks like a friendly witch hat. Have fun at your Hookaween hook-in weekend.

Oops, I'm always too much in a hurry to push publish and I almost forgot about the little witch hat cookies. They look yummy and perfect for the occasion.

Your hat turned out spookily cute. Very creative and cost minimal..what more could a girl ask for.
Love your hate and those treats.....they look fabulous!
What a great day! Love the name, your hat and little cookies! Yum! Enjoy and take pictures!
Oh my GOSH! This is just darling! And what a bargain ... especially since the going rate for diva witch hats is $20-$40!! Great job -- I've no doubt you'll be the belle of the ball!! :)
Sounds like a fun time. I went to a all day sew-in where we were to dress as witches. I made a getup that I thought was a contender. Mine was nothing compared to the lengths that some went to. Some people have WAAYYY too much time on their hands! LOL Can't wait to see pictures.
You are so clever and creative, Gayle...LOVE the witch hat and the witch hat cookies!!
Hugs, Linda
