For whatever reason, I did not go gang-busters with Halloween this year. (That is really scary!) I did, however, sign up for
Val's Halloween swap, and this year's theme was Zombie Dolls. I got paired up with
Little Messy Missy, whom I have done some very nice charm swaps with before.
Mmmm, a creepy Raggedy Anne? Maybe she should be called "Mauly". Definitely not the type of doll you snuggle up to for bedtime stories.
She also sent lots of sweet extras to accompany Mauly, although it appears she fed well before the trip.
I attempted to put together a nice creepy doll for Melissa, but after several failed attempts I ended up going with a pattern from the Zombie Felties book.
I tried to include some supplies for the potential of a Zombie Apopcalypse. It never hurts to be prepared, as even the
CDC has put together a Zombie Survival Guide.
The truly scary thing, is that now that Halloween is over, Christmas is right around the corner, and I'm so not ready for that.

A couple of days ago, I was just thinking to myself, boy I really miss seeing all of your Halloween swaps. Happy to see one today. That Raggedy Anne doll would give any little girl nightmares. I sent the leftover Halloween candy to work with my husband. I think I personally ate more than I gave out. Somehow I can envision myself frantically looking for a sugar fix at about 2 p.m. today.
whoaaa....these are some scary zonbie dolls!! and yes,,,,I too think the worst part about Halloween is that Xmas is not far away...or the Xmas Art Markets....yikes....I am swamped!! Have a good week!!
Love the zombie dolls. Very clever.
