Velcome, my vriends, to the Ghostly Garden Cottage, where even the flowers can't be trusted. Who says scary can't be cute?

To prove the point, meet Betty Boo. Some might say she's a spoiled bat, but I think she's rather sweet, as far as vampires go. Betty is not too cross to wear flowers -- but she's not too kind to sock-you-one either -- so, stay on her good side.

Come on inside -- no tricks here, only treats. Don't mind the carnivorous plants creeping out the windows.

Today I'm handing out a NEW, FREE PATTERN -- fun-to-make & easy-on-the-thighs. Click here to download my free pattern for a snappy little sock doll. Make your own mischief from one unassuming sock, wool-blend felt, and a few other bits & baubles from your crafting scraps.

Don't go batty picking materials. If you want some help, I've dug up all sorts of spooky socks and supplies for a handful of kits at The Heather Bailey Store (while supplies last).

Win a free Betty Boo Sock Doll Kit. Four winners will be picked at random. (If you're not a gambler, see the Freebie Code at bottom of post.) Leave a comment; make up a Halloween poem, share a Halloween story -- or just say 'Hi'. 

Now, vahtch your step. And Happy Halloween!

Whooo’s Next?  Head to the next house on the street -- or run, run, run, with your candy-bag wide-open. See what the other Trick-Or-Eat hosts and ghostesses have cooked up for you today;  Click on one of the haunted dwellings below:
