Haunted Humpday, gypsies, fairies, flies and Kings

Welcome back to our second Haunted Humpday of the season!

Did you do anything spooky this week?

We watched some really creepy movies

but the one that really stuck out was this one:

I don't know how you feel about Djinn, but they scare the Hell out of me!

you can read about the movie here.

If you plan on watching this movie, watch it with the lights off :) 

So I have been under the weather a bit lately and I wanted to show

 you some get well gifts I've received.

This amazing collector's edition of

Entertainment Weekly..

A new toad to keep my more mature toad company..

And this gorgeous blanket.

It's so soft and the sugar skulls on it are pressed into the fabric..

It goes well with my regular room decor don't you think?

Since I have been pretty much stuck at home for a while

I've made a few more crafts..

I created the Lydia painting a bit ago, but recently changed her up a little...

Recently after doing the laundry,

 we found a stocking mixed in with our freshly

dried clothing...

I didn't even give it a second thought..I cut that stocking apart and

a fly was born..lol

  

Here's a little Fairy-witch

I created with a Lisa Kettell Designs
Lulu doll...

When I was a little girl, my absolute favorite thing to be on Halloween was a gypsy ..
I loved the lipstick, the flowing clothing and the jewelry..
(I've not changed much, haha)
I painted this because it's true for me.

I mentioned before that I didn't get a chance to
gather many stories for this year's HH
But I do have a weird one for you...it's not scary, just strange..

We used to have a cat named Baby Tuna.
He's in a few older posts as a matter of fact.
He was a stray, part of a all black litter of feral kitties that were born
under my dad's old truck.
We favored him because he was the biggest, most friendly kitten, who would often
climb on our lap to grab a slice of turkey or chicken, purring all the while...
He grew up to be a gorgeous inky black mini panther
who showed us much affection.
rubbing his fat face against our legs whenever he was around.
He was always the first one to run into the yard to eat.
One very cold, rainy afternoon
when he was about a year old,
my dad told me he had just seen a dead cat in the back alley..
I went outside and called for Tuna and he didn't turn up..I put food in the dish
and he still didn't show..
I finally went and looked at the cat in the alley and saw it was a large black cat.
it had a scratch across it's nose like Tuna did.
Heartbroken, we buried him in our yard, next to two other beloved pets that had passed.
We hurt so much for him..every time we fed the feral cats..many of them, his siblings, we would ache.
One night about a month later
I was out in the garden
when I felt a cat bump up against my legs...
I looked down and saw a large black cat.
it looked exactly like Tuna.
it even had a scratch on it's nose.
I called my daughter and my niece outside and they agreed,
especially when he climbed all over us to get some turkey slices..
We weren't positive but we decided to bring him into the house that night,
the next day I made an appointment to get him fixed.
I wasn't going to take any chances..whether this was Tuna or not. 
His behavior was very Tuna-ish.
The vet estimated that his age was at least a year old.
We had him for three more years,
 he had a wonderful life indoors but ended up with a liver issue that was inoperable.

We always joked about him being buried in the Pet Sematary...
 we still miss him.

So next Thursday is the big day..

I hope you get a chance to stop by and celebrate with us!
we're having dinner, cake and crafts!!
You can just visit or maybe share a story about your favorite book or film.
We're SO excited!!

Have a wonderful week!!
