Ok for sure you should ignore the scratches in my table, it's definitely something I need to work on redo-ing one of these days but it's a big project so it will probably have to wait until we buy a house and then I'll care! That and my coffee table. Kids sure know how to ding up wood furniture! 
I made this table runner for Halloween because I couldn't find one to buy that I really liked. My husband actually suggested this and so I got right on it. Anytime he suggests I do something, that gives me the free will to spend the necessary time and small amounts of money to complete these projects - all with his support and sometimes even his assistance. I love him!

I love him!One thing you hopefully will notice is I'm a frugal hobbyist. I like to make things using stuff I find around my house or recycling things (in a non whimsical (or ghetto) way). I will hopefully be able to show you that in the upcoming posts. 
I thought it would be fun to have some Halloween pillows. Mostly because once I got all my halloween decorations up, I was really annoyed with the color of my pillows for my normal decor so I thought I'd just make some pillow covers for them. So I made these three pillow covers. They each called for a 1/2 yard of fabric (depending on your current pillows). All I had to do was one stitch down each side and that's it. They took 5 minutes to make each. For real! And you don't have to be a seamstress either. And you will feel super awesome that you accomplished it! I also got this fabric 50% off!
My husband loved them and told me he wanted me to make more! He's so funny! So I did 4 more. I think 7 halloween pillows on our couch was definitely overkill but hey isn't that what halloween's all about anyhow. I have zero regrets because I love them!
I just took up close pics so you could see the different patterns in the fabrics. I used all coordinating fabrics that had glitter in them. There were so many other cute halloween fabrics that I wanted but I had to stick with the ones that all were in the same design line.
Candy!
The one on the left here is probably my favorite. And in case you didn't notice, they match my table runner as well!
The orange one here is also in the running for my favorite one! Probably takes 2nd best!
This probably took a total of 45 minutes to make! Easy peezy!

I'm just starting to make the pillows for my harvest/thanksgiving decorations and while I do that, I'll take better pics to show how I made these pillows so easily and then perhaps you could make some too! Christmas pillows anyone??
If you do try any of my ideas (not that making a pillow is really MY idea, but you know what I mean...), I would love love to see your results!! So please share!
