Popping in for a late, happy Halloween

Or popping up? I'm really into this little ghostie, which I found on Alice Grimm's Tea Party, one of my very fave tumblrs. ❤

Alas, I had no chance to wear a costume this year, as I wasn't at work for their celebration on Friday, and none of my friends threw Halloween parties ::pointy stare::. I did, however, manage to catch a local showing of The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, which I had never seen all the way through. Fabulously hilarious, though the old cartoon at the beginning CREEPED ME OUT completely. My other big thrills included wearing stripey tights, painting my nails black, and listening to the Halloween XM station Scream. Hehe.

Please tell me you did something lovely, adventurous, and spooky?

Wands and Bottles

What would I do without Instructables?

These are my people, the DIY-ers, and not just your run-of-the-mill DIY-ers who can tell you how to fix your leaky sink or hem your corduroys (though these are lovely folks). My fave tutorials are about making appealing things that you didn't know you needed, like wands:



These are billed as Harry Potter wands, but a wand is a wand is a wand - you could do anything with the basic idea. The glue gun details are genius.

Also - and here I thought I had shared these with you - one does need potion bottles:



Lurrrrve that celtic motif. Again, the tutorial is Harry Potter-inspired, but you could obviously tailor the bottles to your aesthetic preferences. And to think, you'll never have stale beetle eggs again!

I am desperate to get back to writing, to blogging, to communicating. I haven't lost touch with Faerie, in fact I think working in an office has driven me further in. And I have things to write about. For the moment, though, I'm just stopping by to say hello, see you soon.
