Happy halloween

Thought I would make a haunted house for the front door this Halloween. Got a cereal box, drew a design and cut it out.
To make the sides I cut a long strip about 5 cm wide and cello taped it to the front. To make the corners a bit sharper I scored it a bit, not al the way through, and then folded. 

I am a big fan of quick crafts and this one did not take too long.

I covered it with tissue paper and added some black card for roof and around windows and door. Also a giant bat on the roof. Also te windows are cut out to be able to put some lights in the house to make it even moore spooky. I was going to but the battery operated fairy light did not work. Have got millions of fairy lights at home but half of them does not seem to work. Think I might have to buy some more now that the darker season is uppn us.

Hamging by a thread

Is'nt this the prettiest thing you have seen. Fills me with joy to look at it. Not a bad thing either that my husband bought it for me.

Buttons

I have seen a lot of button craft around but never tried it myself. So when I had an afternoon to spare I gave it a go. 

Nd what a nice afternoon it was. I am very partial to quick crafts and not much tidying and this is it! Very quick and endless possibilities. Bough a big pack of buttons from brilliant Swedish craft supplier craft & creativity so I have got many hours of button  craft to look forward to.

Painting china

Today we have been doing some scary painting and some fun painting. Since I bought a box of fabric and porcelain paint (I bought mine from pebeo but I am sure there are other brands out there) we cant really stop painting!

You can either buy fancy, and if you ask me, expensive money boxes or........

you can buy cheap china at your local supermarket. We bought these plates and bowls for £2 each and they turned out fantastic!

The only problem now is that the china drawer is getting really full. Lucky Christmas is not that far off....

This sunny plate would definetly brighten up your toast on a gloomy January morning.

Better go off and do some drawer reshuffling to fit the new ones in.
