“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

Three ghosts & an art desk

How has your week been so far?
It's been pretty warm here,
 but the nights are nice..high 60's low 70's.
So I think my creative block is gone for now!
This is what I made this week:











Soon as I get a chance, 
I'm going to re-open my etsy shop and list
these little guys.
 .............................................................

Here's the picture of my desk..
I  feel so much better when things are organized.


 I'll post some more next time.
............................................................................

We went to watch 'The curse of La Llorona' a few days ago.
It's been out for a while already, 
but I enjoy going to the movies
 when there are less people in the theater.

 

.......................................................................................................
 Do you have any plans for this weekend?
I plan on creating a few more paintings and 
starting a junk journal:)
Well,
It's almost 1a.m. & I think it's time for a nap,
talk to you later❤

New Art

Good morning!
Hope your weekend was great.
I had a quiet one, but it was very nice.
Thank you all for your kind, encouraging comments on my last post.
I actually had a little inspiration and created two new (simple) canvases.

This first one is called 
'Halloween Night'


This one is 
'Haunted Garden'


They're both created with acrylics and oil pastels/crayons.
I had fun making these...
I'll most likely make a few more since they 
are so easy to do.
............................................................................................................................
Another thing I did this weekend is tidy up my bookshelves and glitter cabinet.
I love seeing all my slightly dusty and disorganized supplies, books and knick-knacks
cleaned up and straightened out.
I'll post a few pictures here when I get a chance. it looks so much better:)
.........................................................................................................................

Well, I'm off to make a cup of chamomile tea,
 then I'm stopping by to visit your blogs.

Have an magical day💫

Looking for my muse.......

I mentioned having a bit of a creative block on my last post..
Feeling like I couldn't start anything from scratch, I decided
to play with some old Starbucks bags..
 
After I altered each image I cut it out
 and glued them to 5x7 canvas.
This is what I ended up with

Coffee Witch
 
Coffee Vamp

 
Coffee Goddess



I Think these creations might help me get out of my slump.
What do you do to get inspired??

I'll be back soon!

hello!



It's been about five months
since I've been able to post anything
on this blog.
Between having trouble with the computer itself 
to not being able to log into blogger
time has rushed by.

I miss visiting everyone
and finding out what they are up to.
  
Since I have (hopefully) 
fixed what was broken and found what was lost,
(laptop & passwords)
I will be able to post and visit regularly again.
 
Here are a few things I created recently..
there haven't been many, I seem to have a 
creative block lately.
 
This is a mini 4x4 canvas
with a bitty witch and her cat






These are wands made of felt and orange tree branches...







Has anyone watched Pet Sematary?
If so , what did you think of it?

Okay, I'll be dropping by your blogs this weekend..
I'm so glad to be back:)

Birthday Palooza for a King

Hello again!!
The day has arrived!
I woke up today, feeling like it's MY birthday! 😀
The first thing I do is put on a movie..
Guess which one!

Afterwards we watched
Creepshow
Cat's Eye
then Pet Sematary

If this is the first time you have visited one of my 
Stephen King Blog parties,
I'll give you a quick run down on why he means so much to me.
Three simple words..
He's Always There.
.......................................
good times and bad times..
His words are in my head and in my heart.
 ............................................
I'm grateful for the times he takes my hand and leads me through the darkness,
and for the times I take his hand & find myself back in the light.

.............................................
So, with that being said, let's get to the party.
oh oh! Looks like we will have to go through 
the closet door to get there... 
It might be dark at first, just stay close.


It's just the boogeyman..he's okay, he likes to talk:)





Everyone is here:
(Side note..Helena and I created all the art here, mainly with recycled items
These puppets were made out of old egg cartons and newspaper)


Zelda 2

Mr. Barlow says hello!
(chocolate milk bottle)


 The Annie Wilkes are here, one even brought her favorite book!

  The Manglers arrived just now...

Last year I wrote about how I kept having dreams
about dancing the Tango with Stephen King..
I don't know why!!
well, I created a little digital art to go along with that
and since I've had this dream a few more times This year,
I thought I'd share it again.


Thanks again for stopping by..I hope you had as much fun as we did!!
