How to Make a Human Pelt

The legal way...

" I turn around and there's this door, this big old door and lights comin' out blindin' me, real gold and I'm thinkin': 'This can't be, this can't be.' So I close my eyes and I count one, I count two, I count three I count four-five and I open my eyes... and it wasn't there. Haaa..."

There's probably one thing in the world that terrifies me more than rabbits... and that's babies.

The ultimate nightmare...

"Get Leafy" with Aunt(y) Peaches

One of my favorite, super crazy craft-savvy blogs to lurk about and peruse regularly is that of Aunt Peaches-- I say "aunty" because whenever I type it into my browser, my finger almost always slips and adds that pesky "y". Just FYI and to thoroughly (un)confuse you.

ANYWAY...

Aunt Peaches is pretty well known for her coffee filter roses. Chances are, if you type her blog name into google/bing/what-have-you, these big technicolorfully frothy bouquets will be the first thing to pop up in your search results. Not necessarily the kind of thing Daddy's Little Corpse is about, but today Peaches has come up with yet another fabulously crafty project that seasonally, is right up the DLC alley. Even better, as with all Aunt Peaches projects, it's super easy and made on the super cheap:

Genius!

Sure, the crinkling-paint-in-the-bag part stirs up quite the horrendous dogwalking flashback of Max (the sweetest, biggest German Shepherd you'll ever meet) and his stomach issues, but that's all part of the adventure! The end product's worth it and I can already think of a ton of different spin-off projects. I'll be tackling this one tonight.

Thanks Aunt(y) Peaches!

ShellHawk Scores

After posting ShellHawk's newest Raku babies, fresh from the Mistress of Mayhems kiln a few weeks ago, my Mom and I decided to pick up the lovely Jack Skellington-esque jack'o for my sister-in-law (hence the paper still stuffed in his head) and, well, I kind of snuck in another beauty for myself.

Don't you hate when things just fall into your etsy cart like that and you don't notice till it's too late? Funny that. :)

Pier 1 Halloween

Tagged along with The Brother to Pier 1. He was on the hunt for a new wine key (= fancy corkscrew for those of us who aren't fancy wine and dine bartenders...) which they didn't have, but they had a whole bunch of Halloween and autumn out on the floor to distract us. We snapped some crappy cell pics and enjoyed taking it all in...

Cute little wind-ups. They had a mummy too!

Sooooo much glitter, but I thought these spiderweb tea light holders were pretty cool.

Ummm... is glitter flammable?

Cutesy and corny. A continuing theme... I like the design of the cauldrons in the middle however.

Ornaments.

More ornaments... I'll admit I considered adopting a couple. They're so goofy, it's hard to say no sometimes.

Lights? I didn't pay too much attention. They were mixed in with the bath salt and toys (kind of a weird combo, right?) I love the face on that jacko...

Hand soap! Resisted it, only to find myself face to face with it again at Home Goods... for $4 less. Still resisted it though. They also had jack-o-lanterns.

no comment.

Taper candles. Too sweet. Looking at them now I kind of wish I'd bought them.

My favorite thing in the store! Flameless candles. Kind of pricey, but I may go back for the skull.

Not a single thing made the trip home with me... at least not yet. Overall, I saw a lot of things, that, let's be honest, I could probably make myself, but plenty of the good kind of cute to make you smile, even with the glitter.

I'm wondering where the hell all the werewolves have gone this year. I don't think I've seen one yet this season! Have you?
