Halloween Ornaments

Mr. Skellie out on the town, he's 4 1/4" tall.

Scary Scary Pumpkin Fairy, 3 1/2" tall. They have clay heads and spun cotton bodies.

I came across a picture of some antique Vege People ornaments awhile back and decided to make them.

Peapod Man, Happy Carrot Guy, Old Green Onion Man, Mr. Parsnip and of course The Mushroom Man.

This Is Whats Bugging Me Today!

And this is the reason I won't be eating anymore tomatoes from my garden this year. Yuck!

All my plants are going into the garbage, I can't eat any of them anymore knowing that this thing (and his friends), like something from a nightmare, may have touched them!

They ate the leaves off of the branches and chewed the tomatoes in half.

And this is whats bugging me today!

My Spun Cotton Halloween Ornaments

Its gloomy and rainy outside, kinda reminds me of fall and with fall comes Halloween. So I thought I would post some Halloween ornaments that I made.

The Frog Witch....

She is 6" tall from the tip of her toes to the tip of her hat.

The Evil Clown is 5 1/2" tall from the bottom of the box to the top of his hat. His head and hands are made from clay and painted, as is his little partner in crime, puppet.

The Frog Sorcerer measures 7" tall from the bottom of the box to the tip of his hat. In his hand he's holding a marionette made from a freshly picked pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. The pumpkin is also handmade and handpainted spun cotton.

I purchased this little group of vintage spun cotton Halloween cake picks at one of my favorite antique shops, they are from the 30's 40's.

I'm feeling in the mood to start getting out my Halloween decorations!

Around My House

In the woods behind our home there is a small cemetery that has about 30 stones dating back to the 1800’s.

Its said that if you come alone to the cemetery at midnight, on a Friday, you will hear very loud whispers in the woods of the little country cemetery. If you're brave enough to stay longer the whispers come closer until they're right in front of your face.
They must be the whispers that we hear in our old colonial home.

We found this old cement piece with the lion's head in some over grown bushes on our property and attached some tubing and made it into a fountain.
We thought maybe it came from that old cemetery. Its kind of creepy looking.











I took a picture of a rock in my garden.

I found it in some old bushes around my home shortly after we moved here, see what it looks like to you..

Its been a while since I've been on my blog

Its been awhile since i've been on my blog. I have been having reoccuring problems from a back injury. So sitting by my computer has been a real pain!
So the other evening I'm thinking, what can I post about?
I know, I can talk about my "cemetery feelings" since I had a couple this week. What I call cemetery feeling is a psychic flash, and all of a sudden I feel myself standing in a cemetery. I can see it all around me, feel it, smell the flowers, hear the birds in the quiet peaceful space.
And after a few seconds I'm back. This happened to me a couple of times this week, so I told my daughter someone we know is going to pass to the other side. That was tuesday, wednesday evening a dear friend of mine called, and in a very sad voice she told me that her mom had died.

I'm Never Alone

As I laid down on my bed the other night, I just put my head on the pillow when I heard the key in my antique cabinet door turn and as I watched, the glass door opened all the way, slowly. The next day the shower upstairs turned on, which hasn't happened for quite awhile. I guess we have a clean ghost!

One night as I was talking on the phone sitting at my kitchen table, I felt something at the nape of my neck (which I thought was a couple of my long hairs that maybe got caught on the neckline of my nightgown). It was as if you took your index finger and wrapped a couple hairs around it and kept twirling them. So I ran my hand down the back of my neck and kept talking. Again I felt that twirling of my hair on the back of my neck and then realized thats exactly what was happening except no one was home but me, and as I ran my hand down the back of my neck again it (the spirit) brushed the top of my head as it flew right over me and left.
