x-ray vision

Usually Halloween is one big fiesta around here chock full of crafting and planning and decorating and gearing up for our annual party we like to throw for all of the little ghosts and goblins in our life.

Not this year. With the Miss Naia showing up so late and me with the gimpy ankle and just plain newborn brain fog, we're barely able to carve out one pumpkin. No party. No boat covered in lights and decorations. And the guilt sets in.

The good news is, Naia is an Olympic gold medal sleeper, so I am trying to sneak in a few last minute crafts and surprises for Zach while she snoozes.

(Hey Lily, recognize that pillow?)

Behold, daddy's brain. It's an old scan from a long ago appointment and for some reason we had it stuffed away in the trunk of our car.

I traced out the rough triangle shape from another banner we had and cut the film with pinking shears.

If you don't have a brain scan laying around... ask at your local vet or your doctor's office for old x-ray films. I hand stitched some orange ribbon along the top, but those who don't fear the sewing machine like I do can probably whip this up much faster on the machine.

And here it is... one creepy looking brain banner for Halloween!

Here are some linke to other Halloween projects we've had fun with in the past:
