Welcome to the first day of the
Gastly Ghouls Blog Hop!
I'm happy to kick things off with
A Pterodactyl Halloween
Carol at Just Let Me Quilt presented bloggers with the challenge to make something spooky, kooky, or anything wickedly Halloween. Of course, I was in. This is right up my alley.
Thank you, Carol, for inviting me to join this super fun blog hop!
I'm keeping up with my tradition with this one.
I have 1 very special girl (my daughter) that loves Halloween
and her daughter loves it too!
So I started a tradition to make a little doll to look like
my Granddaughter in her Halloween costume every year.
She has the last 3 years of Halloween Friends and loves them.
When I texted my daughter to ask what my Granddaughter was dressing up as this year for Halloween,
this is the picture I received:
Well, that was a surprise, but I put on my Grammie panties and got to work. lol
I designed it by tweaking an original doll design.
Lizzy put on her costume for a little Boo at the Zoo action.
Perfect timing for the hop!
So I gave her the new Halloween Friend.
I think she likes it!
I have yet to make a bag to keep all of the Halloween Friends.
That has to be a priority for next year, but for now, she plays with them year-round.

It's so fun to get inspiration from Blog Hops.
This is my favorite time of year for stitching.
That is such a wonderful tradition! I love the previous dolls and of course the ferocious pterodactyl :D I think little Lizzy likes her new Halloween friend too! Happy Halloween!

ReplyDeleteSuch sweet dolls! I love this idea. I might just have to make them for my girls! My youngest is going to be Captain America and my oldest is going to be Black Panther. Thank you for the link to the pattern.
