I just discovered this thread! I love Halloween! Here are a couple of things I’ve made so far.
This I made for one of my Halloween Swap partners.
A cute ghost. Thinking about scaling the pattern up and maybe try to make a pillow. Has anyone scaled up a pattern? Any suggestions on how to do it properly?

I love the skull and coasters!
Also, for your little ghost to be bigger, You are going to have to increase the number of increase rounds. If you started at the bottom, just make the circle bigger to the size you want (keep track of how many more stitches you added because you are going to have to reduce them at the top) then decrease the extra stitches along with the pattern decreases. You can make the hat and eyes by adding more rounds as well.

I am in full Halloween mode. but it has been such a busy month. This really isn’t a “craft” that I made, but I did have to put it together. I bought these floral picks and three bags of plastic skulls at the Dollar Tree. I thought I had a bunch of plain glass vases, but I must have given them away when I moved! I went through the recycling bin and found an ice tea bottle that I thought would work. I just cut it with a box cutter and scissors, filled it with the skulls, then arranged the floral things.
I got the idea off Pinterest.
The whole thing was just under $15!

These are crafts from years past, but I finally put up my bike shop Halloween decor…
My Beanie-o-lantern, reusable version. Apparently I tortured a young former employee by having her untangle those string lights and feed them through a hole in the back. Lol…
A string of dead cyclist tales, look closely and be warned…
My cauldron of candy and a couple of my plastic calaveras. They’re all over the shop…

The Summerween Swap S/U 6/25-7/10 S/O 8/10 has inspired me, I’m having visitors next weekend and I might throw a Summerween party! It will be a very low-key thing but some fun decor would be nice.

That sounds fun. Please share pics!
I’m not sure if I’ll have enough time and energy to do much, but I did just add greengage cordial to my grocery order.
I tried finding a translation for it in English since I thought this was a common thing everywhere, but it isn’t. We call Greengage “reine claude” it’s a plum that happens to be green. Cordial made from greengage plums is widely available in Europe, but the internet tells me cordial (sweet fruit syrup that you add still or sparkling water to make lemonade) isn’t even common in the US, let alone in greengage flavour. Cordial is basically the standard kids-drink here, and many adults like it too. A big glass pitcher of bright green greengage cordial looks very Halloween but is also a really refreshing drink in summer.
