I thought I would write a quick post today to say hello.
I hope this finds all of you enjoying the beautiful fall weather!
I haven't posted for the past couple of months but I have been stalking blogs and I love all of the fall and halloween ideas being posted.
I haven't done any autumn decorating at my house (yet) but I have worked on a few halloween projects that made their way into my booths. Decorating old cabinet cards for halloween decor is not a new idea but I thought I would show you one I made that recently sold at my Parkville booth location.
This particular gentleman had such an "evil scientist" look to me making him perfect for a halloween hanging. Using a page from an old victorian photo album as my starting point, I simply added pieces and parts until I was happy with the look.
I really enjoy making these because anything goes....and it gives me a chance to use some of the odds and ends I have all over my studio!
Enjoy your Sunday!
Jane
Oh, I was so happy to see your post!! I miss all your creativeness...hope you are enjoying your break...but not too much!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice surprise to see your post today! Love your cabinet card friend and his pointy hat. The highlighted '31' on the ruler is brilliant. I just scored some old pant hangers recently -- I'm going to have to do some Halloween creating. Great to see you, hope you are doing well. :)
ReplyDeleteGood to see a post from you Jane! Hope you're doing well, all we can do is take one day at a time. As always, I love your creativity and use of simple things to make something wonderful and eye-catching! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI just love seeing your name pop up again ... you are greatly missed ... but I'm sure you were able to do a lot of deep breathing!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogging. I hope you're well and enjoyed the break.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cabinet card you did with the material that was in your studio.

jane, it makes me so happy to see a post from you. I've missed your creative ideas, but mostly I've missed your friendship. You've been in my thoughts, and I hope that you have found some peace and comfort and perhaps some joy has returned to your days. Good to see you creating again.
ReplyDeleteWith sincere thoughts..........Sarah
Hi Jane! I saw you on the side bar and did a little happy dance in my seat! I love the upcycled cabinet card, some of them do look a bit scarey! I still haven't decorated either, but possibly this week... enjoy your Sunday! love, t.xoxoxooxo

Hi...I join all of your other blogging buddies, to say that I was also happy to see you return. I hope all is well with you, and happy to hear you still have your booth and are still crafting! This project is so unique and clever! Missed you and your ideas!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jane! So good to see a post from you!!! I've been "stalking" your snowman post from last year. I've been collecting spice bottles to make a few for our Christmas Open House. So happy to see your latest creation!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy to see your post..I love the idea you have here and it will not last long in your booth I am sure..Have a wonderful day..
ReplyDeleteJane, so great to see you posting. And I'm happy you've felt like crafting. Sometimes I think crafting, whether it be making cute things, painting, needle works, it really helps calm our hearts and our heads. I love your creation. The best part to me was the $1 tickets, they added even more humor to it.
ReplyDeleteJane, it is so nice to hear from you. I hope you are doing well. I miss you and your creativity. Love this Halloween idea,
ReplyDeleteHow cute and creative!
ReplyDeleteJudy
Jane I was so excited to see your post on my Reader today!!! Love this project and he does have an evil look about him! So glad you are doing well. Miss you! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Jane! I just love all the possibilities with these pants hangers...and with old photos. Another creative idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you and your clever ideas again.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Looking forward to more of your terrific creations and posts!
ReplyDeleteOH I love this, Jane! I can see why he sold so quickly! SO good to hear from you!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to see you pop up on my sidebar. Your evil scientist/warlock guy is too cute. I've missed your unique projects!
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you back... if only for one post.
ReplyDeleteThat's what's good about blogging, it's OK to take a break. I have slowed down a lot too. Hope you are well rested from blogworld. You were missed. I saw your sweet Dad passed away, I'm so sorry for your loss. It really leaves a whole in your heart.
ReplyDeleteLove your creepy man here.
So clever {as usual}
ReplyDeleteand so good to see you back . . .
Nice to see you again, Jane. I hope all is well with you. Your Halloween craft is just superb and inspiring. I love the funny touch of that jaunty pointed hat! We look forward to more posts. Stay well, Victoria
ReplyDeleteNice to see you popping in to say hi! Thanks for sharing your awesome Halloween craft. He DOES have a evil scientist look about him!!
ReplyDeleteOh Jane, so glad you popped in! I have never seen cabinet cards decorated for Halloween, so it is new to me!! I think most of the old photo's look kind of creepy anyway so, making them into halloween art is perfect!!! I love it and I see why it sold! PS: I haven't done any fall decorating either, heck I did not even know people did until I blogged......SHHHH don't tell anyone!
ReplyDeleteCarol
How lovely to see that you had the energy to post again. I do hope that the break & the crafting has been restorative & has helped you gain some equilibrium.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more posts when you are ready.
Warm regards
