Blends in well????

I was in the other room one day and I heard this loud "scrambling" sound......went into the livingroom and couldn't see anything. I went to walk out of the room and from ABOVE I heard this "meow".......looked over at the coffin and there was FOU!
He had jumped from the back of the chair to get on top...the scrambling I had heard was his hind feet as he pulled himself up onto the top section! LOL
I had a bat hanging from the ceiling that was on a wire and spun around.....he was trying to catch it! LOL

My Casket

I have always LOVED HAlloween!

Many a birthday present or Christmas present was some halloween object for my collection. It was really getting to where it needed a place to be stored. I asked Eric's dad, Charlie, if he would make me a bookcase. He said SURE...then I told him I wanted it shaped like a coffin! LOL

He built me this awesome casket! I painted the inside a deepr raspberry color and the rest is a flat black. I kept it out all year round with more and more goodies being added all the time!

Such an ice breaker when new folks would come to visit for the first time! ROFL

Smell that???

SMELL THAT???? Aromatic herbs like rosemary, cinnamon, lavender can keep clothing and shoes smelling fresh. Cedar can even help protect woolens from moth damage.
**For your in your dresser, spoon a small amount of herbs into a beautiful old handkerchief, gather the ends, and tie with ribbon or twine. You can even hang this in your closet from a hanger!
**For your shoes, create a sachet that will help them retain their shape as well as freshen them... simply stuff herbs into a sock. LOL

Do you hate the disp soap on the counter????

Dishwashing Liquid Bottles

When it’s kept in an attractive glass bottle, dishwashing liquid doesn’t have to be hidden under the sink. Decorative bottles and pour spouts are available at most housewares stores; vintage bottles work well too, as long as they are perfectly clean. Simply fill the bottle with dishwashing liquid, and top it with the spout. So much more pretty sitting next to the sink!

Crunchy!

and this time I'm not talking about the autumn leaves! LOL
I am a huge fan of music and always have something playing on either my cd player or computer.
Right now.......the cd being played over and over is NICKELBACK.

These Canadian boys have it going on and I just love them!
I think I know all the words to their song "photograph"! LOL

Now I'm not talking...."tossing your head up and down crunchy/can't make out the lyrics thru the electric guitar"........just good old fashioned rock and roll crunch sound.

My sewing machine works really well when I have the pedal rocking to NICKELBACK! LOL

You can pretend.........

that it is warm outside.....but you are fooling yourself!
The air in the afternoon is crisp. The leaves crackle under your shoes when you walk outside.
I have taken to wearing my sweaters and a light scarf around my neck to ward off the chills.
All my sandles have been boxed away till next summer......My fave boots come out this time of the year! heehee

The sun pokes her head thru the clouds some days...but her summer warmth is nowhere near close. Pumpkins sit upon the porch waiting to glisten with the frost.

Whipping.......

The autumn leaves are all turned and whipping around the yard. There are reds and golds floating all over. A fave game at night for the cats is chasing the odd leaf that made it into the house stuck to someones shoe. LOL Across the kitchen floor and under the table.....too funny to watch.
I love this season!

Pip Berry fun

I was so excited to also recieive from Sheila some pip berries!
(Thank you so much Sheila for spoiling me rotten!)

Pip berried are AMAZING! Its no wonder that so many prim artists use them in their goodies.
I have only seen really bad knock offs of them in my area and they still wanted an arm and a leg for them.
She sent me an array of different colors and I can't wait to start playing with these ones.
I have a strong feeling that you all will see them in my newest creations for my shop.
A couple ideas also will be showing up on the craft show starting next week.

Plain-n-Simple Creation

My friend Jackie(Plain-N-Simple) has outdone her self on this creation. She takes my breathe away and I asked her if I could blog about her. I want as many folks to see her as possible!

She is inspired by TimBurton's Corpse Bride!

Jackie....you are such an inspiration!

John William Waterhouse

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917)

"Although often classified as a Pre-raphaelite for his style and themes, Waterhouse is truly a Neo-Classic painter. Some of Waterhouse's earlier works were focused on Italian themes and scenery, reflecting his love for his birth place. Later on, his works picked up the styles and classical themes of Pre-raphaelites such as Alma-Tadema and Frederick Leighton. Waterhouse went on to paint well over 200 paintings depicting classical mythogolgy, historical and literary subjects, particularly those of Roman mythology and classic English poets such as Keats and Tennyson. Femme fatale is a common theme in his works, as most are of beautiful elegaic women and of many men are victims."

I adore looking at this man's paintings and creativity. I find the imagery somehow touches something within me. I wanted to share in hopes that maybe it would touch something within one of you.

Autumn in Nova Scotia

Autumn has fallen upon Nova Scotia strong just within the last week. The evenings are cooler and there is "almost" a frost some mornings. A real frost will be just around the corner for us.
The leaves are all changing into their fall brillance! I recharge my own battery when I start to see the reds and golds appear in the leaves.

I need to get some pumpkins to set out in the yard! I love this season most of all!

Missing

Sorry for the lack of writing! I had to take some time away as the words just were not flowing in my head the way that I wanted them to. Too much craziness mixed in. LOL

But the time away has me feeling refreshed and charged back up again. I am feeling creative both in my sewing and in my writings. Be ready to sit for awhile! LOL THANK YOU to those that emailed me and said you were missing my writings....it really meant alot to me.

You have lots to read!
