Rainy nights & painted rocks

How has your week been?

It's been pretty great here!

Our monsoon finally gave us a lot of rain last night

plenty of thunder rumbling and lightning flashing

it was awesome!

We baked toffee cookies and watched a creepy movie. 

(This movie is rated R and not appropriate for children) 

'Hagazussa'

.......................................................

Lot's of things happened this week,

we have a new pet.

This is Walter.

He was emaciated, terrified, dehydrated and all alone.

He now has his shots and is set to be fixed in a couple of weeks,

(once he gets to a safer weight)

He's so very sweet..doesn't really know how to play with toys

but is steadily gaining

and learning to navigate in a house full of 

very large cats:) 

We love him so much already.

We went to the grocery store last night and found these!!

I'm so excited to see some more Halloween goodies 

popping up around town!!!

This was at Michael's craft store recently

I'll show you what I actually got there later!

...............................................................................

                                          Helena and I made a painted rock village.. 

complete with a creepy house for the edge of town:)

You can find examples online or

 just make whatever comes to mind.

It was a lot of fun. 

............................................................

I think this is it for today, 

but I'll see you very soon💖

This is for the 

Take A Word challenge this week☺

mini ornaments

How has your weekend been?

It's been very toasty here..
  Monday and Tuesday are supposed 
to have a high of 114.

As you can imagine,

we don't venture outside much during these months 

I prefer to stay in and create.

..................................................................................................

I finished up a few ornaments I started yesterday.

this first one is made out of Sculpey and pipe cleaners.

I made this with pipe cleaners,

paper flowers and a Lisa Kettell doll face.

This little box ornament holds a tiny girl, glittered trees & stars.

.........................................................................................................

I have to get going now, hope everyone has a  
great Sunday.
I'll be dropping by your blogs for a visit really soon.

 

Wild Things, Stranger Things and sad things.

Well, it's July!

How the heck did that get here already?!?

I swear, it seems like I post

then I get back on a few days later 

and two weeks have gone by!

........................................................

You know how I'm creating

 a 'Where The Wild Things Are' altered book? 

Well, the other day I made this little clay piece.

He reminds me of my cat, Peeves:)

 This next piece is a wall hanging made for

the Hellgnome's Deathdigis design team...

 .............................................................................................

We celebrated the 4th by having a 

'Stranger Things' party...

Do you watch it?

We had a few friends stop by for barbecue, dessert

and a few episodes of the third season.

I had to carve this, it's easier to do than a pumpkin

because I'm allergic to gourds.

But it's way messier. 

.............................................................................

Today is a sad day for me, it's been seven years

since my beloved pup, Kane, passed away.

He was sweet and happy all the time, never barked,

helped bring the groceries in and would pick up

his toys off the floor at the end of the day.

He was the best dog and i miss him terribly.

................................................................................................................

Well I'm off to watch another episode of 'Stranger Things'

Ive been informed that the popcorn is ready!

Have a nice weekend.
