Bats in the Belfry, Cats in the Attic

I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday (whatever holiday you do or don't celebrate). We celebrate Christmas in my household, but I wouldn't really call it celebrating...more like going through the motions. Regardless, I got some gifts I'm excited about! This is a neat little crushed velvet backpack-purse. I'll be decorating it with patches and pins in the spirit of DIY. So..many...books. I'm looking forward to reading Zak Bagans' (of Ghost Adventures) book. For any new followers, you must know that I regularly partake in making fun of this "ghost hunter." It's all in good fun. I think I'll do a post about his book when I get around to reading it.  This is such a neat little necklace. It makes me wonder how they punched the cross out of the coin...It must be Christmas Magic! ;) These lipsticks and the lip brush are Make up Forever brand from Sephora. The colors look lighter than they actually are. I tried these two colors in...

It's the first of August, which means It's my best friend's birthday! Happy birthday, Justean! Being the zombie fanatic she is, I thought I'd make her a present to feed her unhealthy obsession with the undead. The first thing that came to mind was...Zombie Feltie! I'd seen them online, and you can even purchase the book of how to make them. Mine wasn't as elaborate as some of these in the book, but they're still fairly simple to make. source Here's what to do if you want one of your own: Step 1: Sketch a plan of what you want your creature to look like. This may not seem so important, but if you don't brainstorm, you might end up with something you don't like as much as you would've hoped. Step 2: Cut out (in felt material) the pieces you need.  Make sure you don't accidentally forget to cut out two pieces for the body.

     I find my self on the internet frequently...way too frequently. One site that I wanted to share is Cut Out + Keep. It's a website dedicated solely to DIY projects and tutorials. I love browsing it to see what people have done, so I can get inspiration for future DIY projects of my own. This site has clothing, purses, accessories, dolls, hats, make-up, food, and everything else you can imagine. These projects are fairly simple, and they are affordable alternatives to many items from online stores. Here are some really awesome projects I wanted to share: (Click on the links for the tutorials)  Zombie Kitty Platform shoes like Kerli's Nylon Parasol "Bite Me" Choker There you have it.  Now go out there and DIY to your heart's content.

I’d like to wish everyone a merry Christmas, Saturnalia, Winter Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and end of the fiscal fourth quarter. I think I’ve covered every holiday. May you all Wassail and find spooky gifts under your tree. This year, I received a Nightmare Before Christmas Monopoly, a few interesting novels, a blood-drip choker, eyeshadow, and Jack Skellington pajamas. Here they are: I will definitely enjoy my gifts this year. I still have to finish The Lovely Bones and Lolita before the library charges me and before I start my insanely huge reading list. >< Anyway, I leave you with this: One of the only good Christmas songs I know of.
