It's a beautiful day here for Halloween in Southwest Missouri!  It quite chilly with a cold breeze but the sun is out and the beautiful fall leaves are displaying their glory!

Today I wanted to share some other projects that I have been in production here in the studio.  Most of you know that I love to sew, especially for the granddaughters.  Here are the little Halloween dresses and ,of course, treats with Stampin' Up! tags that were packed and shipped to them recently.

Lyla loves comfy dresses so her dress is made from a stretch knit.  Mia's is a jumper in a cute cotton print. Here's a short video and the individual photos are below...

Have a great day and Happy Halloween from "Honey" and her sweet Lyla and Mia!
