Macabre Monday - A Nightmare on Elm St

This week for Macabre Monday at Haunted Design House the challenge is something to do with a nightmare on elm st. 

I painted freddy and added a clay hand and I wrote this is just a dream like Nancy said.  He is melting from behind but can you be sure it is just a dream!!!

Oh Alice Chapter 40 - Hooka are You?

Well over the past couple of months I have seen some of the amazing creations that Creepy Glowbugg has been making for the oh alice challenge blog and was totaly wowed.  I have been meaning to enter for a while but have been so busy lately that crafting is a big rarity.  So when I saw this weeks challenge could be to incorporate butterflies I knew I would be able to enter as it is my daughter's 4th birthday in January and she wants a little tea party so I have been thinking of things to make her and she loves pink and butterflies and princesses and fairies etc etc (very girly, unlike Mummy dearest).

I cut the butterflies some out of glittery pink card and some out of old cereal boxes and painted pink and added some stickles.  I used some funny type knittingy wool stuff (hmm even sounds strange to me) to wrap around the top main part and added some pink feathers.  I made the roses out of cardstock and added them to the end of each side.  For the main butterfly I made a bead body and added a head bead with antennae.

Anyway my daughter caught sight of it and was so delighted so the main person pleased.

Simply Betty #6

At Simply Betty Challenges this week it is a thanksgiving place setting.  Well we don't celebrate thanksgiving here so I thought I would just do a ta place setting.  I am very thankful for my family, crazy as they are...

Very plain and simple as I couldn't dare to detract away from the image.  Can you tell I love these images...  Can't wait to use the other five I bought hehe.

I coloured him using copics and promarkers.

The back just states ta and matches the front.

Oh and Ta means Thank You

I promise to do better soon, just am time limited at the moment and my two daughters are not very well and extremely clingy little monkeys.

HDH - Ravenous Ravens

This week at Haunted Design House is to incorprate ravens into your project.  I just love the new simply betty steampunk images and had to have them all, so I have used one for this challenge and he is lamenting his lost love Lenore, the raven I outlined is sitting on an outline of the bust of Pallas, anyway I placed them on a photograph that we purchased about a year ago in a gallery in Kirkudbright.  It's actually a crow's foot but what the hoo still looks cool to me.

I really have to apologise for the photograph but it is so dull here and I am terrible at taking photos at the best of times, the hubby is the photographer in this house and he is working so....

Attitude

OO er missus!! Can you believe that Creepy Glowbugg has passed on an attitude award to me and 4 others (one that she is very deserving of hehe).  Well a big thank you.

Click Here

Now as a result, I have to list 3 things that make me different, and then I get to nominate 5 blogs of boastful attitude:

1.  I come from a family of weirdos, my hubby is weird, my kids are weird, my brother is weird, my parents are weird and lastly I am weird, and we wear our weirdo badges with pride.
2.  Housework doesn't even get a look in when a craft project comes to fruition let's just say that the house looks like a craft bomb has been set off.
3.  I'm not well liked outside my family and I don't even care (see point 1):

So now for the five people I would nominate of which Creepy would defo be on itand Barb  (but Creepy also picked her)  from Haunted Design House  but alas she gave me the award so....

1. Netty she's not really attitude as much as different and cool.
2. Another MD Crabbie her creations are full of attitude
3. Popsicle Toes she can do attitude with a lovely twist of slightly dark
4. Susan's Crafy Chaos her sentiments are ace and stocked full of attitude
5. Blackdragon's Craft, she has a very dark way of creating wonderful things
