These batty babes are headed out to the Vampire’s Ball in celebration of this evening’s lunar eclipse.

She’s a ten but she walks her pet, Bonez through the cemetery after dark under the moonlight.
My New Gourd-Friend
Meet my new gourd-friend. His name is Jackson but he goes by Jack. Oh, he can be a bit seedy at times, but I won’t let that squash our relationship. I just tell him to “Cut-It-Out!” and toss him some spiciness of my own. I admit I keep him on a tight vine.
He says we are a “patch made in Heaven.” Awe…
The thing about Jack is he is a bit of an agourdaphobic. He prefers to stay in and get lit at home. But at least once a year or so he feels comfortable with going out. And boy when he does, he gets smashed and really lets loose.
He’s no prince, he’s a Pun-King.

I spent pretty much all day Saturday making those tiny diy witches hats for BB’s Sanderson Sisters toy dolls and while the details are mostly lost in the photo, here’s what I did. Also, I only noticed we forgot to include BB’s witches broom after I told her we got the shot. And yeah, good luck mimicking that stellar catch light and perfectly perked ears. So it is what it is.
I found the witches’ hat template online (here). I decreased its size to 70% and printed it on standard printer paper. I cut those out and used them as my first set of stencils. Then I traced the two pieces on heavier card stock sheets and cut those out. I rolled the pieces around to give them movement. Then I used those cardstock pieces as my new set of stencils and traced them on black glittery adhesive foam sheets (here) and cut those out. I adhered the foam to my cardstock pieces, stuffed the top triangle into the bottom ring, and then used whatever random things I had on hand to decorate. For Mary’s hat, I use some adhesive gold pyramid studs and scrap pieces as stitching for an interesting fashiony detail. Winifred’s hat I wrapped a small piece of a charcoal loofa I had and secured it with black electrical tape and also added the tape and the same gold pyramid studs around the base of her top. I love electrical tape because it looks like leather on small projects. And for Sarah’s hat, I kept it simple. I took a bubble gum pink rose bead I had and colored it with a black sharpie marker then took a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and stamped the ridges of the flower so it would smear the black marker into the pink and turn it into a gothy deep purple color. Then I just simply hot glued the rose bead to her hat base once it dried. I also added scrap foam pieces to make the back have the appearance of stitches, again a detail you don’t see in a one-dimensional photo. You could use the same template for any size witches hat you’d like by increasing or decreasing the size before printing it out. I found the mini brooms from the fairy/dollhouse section at Michael’s, (here). I was going to make them but my supplies alone would have cost more than $4.00 and they were thee perfect size for these little witches.

Dear Diary,
Today, during the golden hour my mom and I did a photoshoot @ the old Central School building. She is so not a professional model like me. Every time I was perfectly posed she wasn’t “ready.” Ugh!
Well, we did manage to capture a few good and somewhat interesting shots.
