This Halloween it seems, I have a bit of a bat obsession. The front door wreath that is in progress has bats, there is a bat garland in my dining room and by this time next week I'll have hanging bats all over the house. Pictures and tutorials to come, I promise. It has been a long work week for me and pictures taken late at night after working at 12+ hour day don't really come out well enough for blog posting. In the meantime, here are a few of the inspiration pictures for my bat … [Read more...]
this is halloween – sparkly skulls
I'm not sure what it is with my cats but apparently all the Halloween stash items are considered perfectly acceptable toys.

The bottles on … [Read more...]

Engagements are a time to celebrate. Our good friends, I and M, are newly engaged so I decided to dress up a little bottle of champagne for the occasion. Standard bottles of bubbly are pretty but I wanted to personalize the gift. I'm not a fan of gold and had some silver stickers to use so silver spray paint was in order. I taped up the edge of the label and covered the bottom of the bottle with a plastic bag.I was not the neatest with my tape work around the edge so I had some paint seeping … [Read more...]
paper wine charms
Wandering around Michael's I found packages of these earring hoops and realized they look just like the ones used for charms I once had for my wine glasses. You know, the ones that everyone gave as housewarming gifts years ago with little beads on them. I was never a fan of the look but I used them because admittedly, wine glasses are hard to keep track of when you've been drinking ;) Problem solved - I could make ones that would be more our style. Paper would be the easiest option since I have … [Read more...]
