Lovely Frankenstein's 31 Days of Halloween: Shark Trick or Treat Bag

So, for kids going for more loot than a small bag would contain, this might not be the one.  But, for little kids who are only out long enough for a little candy, this is adorable.

Lovely Frankenstein's 31 Days of Halloween: Better Worms!

Remember at Halloween parties as kids there was at some point that gross out table where you'd be blind folded, or the table contents hidden, and you'd have to reach into bowls of food and guess what it was? Or, you'd stick your hands in the bowl to feel you know, brains or bugs or whatever and it was just like, pudding?  I'm sure there is a name for this activity that isn't coming to mind....but invariably that "bowl of worms" was cold spaghetti.

But hey, you can kick the gross out up a notch by not doing the cold spaghetti....

Jello worms. Just some straws and some creatively mixed jello and you have some too-real looking worms.

You know I'm not wild about primitive quilts, but this embroidery from Primitive Blessings is adorable.

CLICK HERE for the pattern - a side note - when I was getting this post together, their website was having some issues loading correctly for me.  It would sometimes load and sometimes error out.  I have seen this on Pinterest before, so if the links aren't working correctly for you, check it out there.
