I love October! I love Halloween! I love scary movies, carving pumpkins and homemade costumes! I love fun decorations and I love dressing up all month long in not-quite-costumes that I can pretend are my normal clothes…

My Skully Necklace is inspired by Mexican sugar skulls, since Dia de los Muertos kinda jumbles in and becomes a part of the Halloween festivities in my neck of the woods. I like the message behind the holiday, since having a family memorial day gives us a chance to talk to Mims about our family members who have passed on. And, I just really dig the Mexican Folk Art style…

The supplies are really simple, just some embroidery floss, a hook, a needle and a plain chain. You could probably whip out 3 or more of these in an evening! Hmm, sounds like a grown-up Halloween treat…
