Halloween Vignette

Hi, I am so glad that you are here.  I want to show you a small vignette we made in honor of Halloween. 

 It started with a trip to the dollar store. My daughter, Beth found this Witch Parking Only sign. The bottom line says All others will be toad. A little corny but funny never the less.
Wine Candle Holders and Painted Pumpkins

 My daughter printed the bottle labels that she found on the internet. We have The Graphic Fairy to thank for arsenic label. I couldn't figure out where she found the other two labels.

 We also bought the orange drippy candles at Dollarama. I don't know about you but I love the way candle wax looks when it has poured over and dripped down the sides of the candle and the holder.
Poison Labels on Wine Bottles
Oh that store can really suck you in. And before you know it, your cart is full. LOL

 The last two items in our little vignette are painted pumpkins. Honey Bunny and Sweetie Pie and loads of fun painting their pumpkins.
Painted Pumpkins
Honey Bunny's pumpkin is on the left and Sweetie Pie's pumpkin is obviously on the right.
Honey Bunny thought a lot about her project and carefully placed the paint. Sweetie Pie just dove right in and slathered paint onto paint and more paint. I wasn't sure it would ever dry but it did and it looks pretty cool.


Well, thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed this post.

    The painted pumpkins are great, and I love the labels for the bottles! =0)
    I've been wondering how you've been doing, and I hope you and your family are doing well.

      Hi Marty, the bottles turned out pretty good and it was super easy.There was enough glue from the old labels to attach the new labels.

      I've always loved the look of candle wax drips and accumulated in a messy pile.

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh...

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas...
