At Target today in Indy and they’ve started getting things out. Lots of the same old stuff but here’s a few picks of some new stuff I don’t recall seeing last year. I bought the terra cotta skulls and pumpkins at $10 each, the reaper blow mold at $15, and especially liked the 4 pack of blow mold tombstones at $15.

I kept seeing these tassels online made out of salt & pepper shakers, so I picked some Johanna Parker ones ($10). Found a bundle of ribbon ($5) from Michaels and made my own. I used floral wire thru the holes, because the wire will be hidden by some bows I'm making. I'm going to hang them as a garland over my tv with one bow and tassel on each side and the garland between them. If the wire wasn't going to be hidden by the bows, I would have taken more time and used pretty ribbon as the hanger instead. But this was literally a 15 min craft (4 songs on my music streaming service lol). I had to sort the ribbon because the bundle was pretty big so I took a few of the messy ribbons out. They were the kind that kept getting wound around the other ones and knotted up. Then I just tied the tail of the wire around the ribbons and pulled them up thru the plug hole.

These are some of my favorite candy pails from my collection.

Hey all! Just wanted to share something I have been working on for this upcoming season. We all loved, "Five Little Pumpkins," growing up and I repurposed cardboard, paints, tape, and glue to make these little guys!

I'm just happy because this is a story my mom used to read to us when we were little and it's a WIP for our little apartment doorway but just finally put it up!

I hope some other folks enjoy the nostalgia of it!

Here are some more candy pails from my collection.

I made this with ink and watercolors and was told it that it would find some friends here! So excited for spooky season. I’ve drawn 4 witches in a week. 🧙‍♀️ I’m not selling anything so I hope this isn’t breaking the rules.

Could not choose which one so you guys are gonna decide for me! Please pick ONE! will buy the one that gets most votes.

Last season our Skelly was out for Halloween. Then it got cold so we decided he could stay out for Thanksgiving. Then it got snowy so we decided to buy him a dog on clearance and have him help put up the Christmas lights. Well then it got windy and one of his arms broke off.

I searched online and I found a bunch of 3D printed ones that were all made with cheap filament but no one had the actual files for me to print it myself. So long story short I designed replacements myself for both the male and female side and have released then 100% free for anyone that has a 3D printer to print. The files are available on MakerWorld: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2238590-skelly-the-skeleton-replacement-connector-discs#profileId-2436406

If you print them or have someone print them make sure they use something rated for outdoor use like ASA so they hold up. If you don't have a printer see if your local library can print them for you, make now have maker spaces. You can also buy some, including mine, on Etsy and I'm actually posting because I've sold a bunch lately so figure people are preparing for the holiday. Due to the no promotions rule I won't list that link but just make sure if you do buy 3D printed ones they are made of ASA which is outdoor rated and not the cheaper, and more prone to breaking, PLA or PETG.
