There was a crooked house...

We made this glittery vintage style haunted house out of an .89 cent bird house from Michaels!! Don't believe us?? Check this out! 

Our inspiration was this adorable house from Pottery Barn...so cute, yet so expensive. 

We bought this birdhouse on a whim years ago...it had been waiting patiently amongst the other misfit craft items we haven't figured out what to do with.  

We snapped off the bottom of the birdhouse and the little birdie perch and painted the outside black.  

Then got creative with some cardstock.  

A cute copy-cat crooked chimney, a door and a little side add on, just to change the look as much as possible. 

Glueing the cardstock additions was time consuming, it took patience and steady hands.

   
We used spray adhesive for the glitter...lots and lots of black glitter.  And added an electronic tea light inside the bottom. 
We chose spray adhesive over glue because glue would warp the card stock. 
For you apartment dwellers like us- we sprayed and glittered inside a shoe box. 
Barely any mess!

Enter if you dare...

Scullpicks!

These creepy little scull toothpicks are frightfully delicious!

These little guys are filled with inspiration. 
Our good family friend Sherri has these adorable ceramic scull toothpicks, we didn't know where she got them, but we knew we could make them!!! 

Of course these little guys are very Burton-esque, but we also got inspiration from from our friend Nick AKA BrickArts on Instagram.  He also has an Etsy Shop! www.etsy.com/shop/BrickArts.  He's an incredible artist!

We used Sculpey clay and found these great beads for his "little beady eyes"!  Before we baked them (using the directions on the package) we poked holes on the bottom of the sculls for the toothpick to stick in.

After they were baked and hard....ha.ha....we watered down some acrylic black paint and painted in the little details. We sealed them with some Sculpey sealer then glued in metal toothpicks, so we can use them year after year!

Nice work, bone daddy.

Vintage felt pumpkins.

One little, two little, three felt pumpkins!

They came out so cute!

But we don't really know what to do with them.

Happy October!!

Y'all come back now. Ya hear!?

Fall into my frame.

We love to bring the outside in!

And that's just what were doing with this simple branch frame.

Whoooo goes there?!?!?

We went on a mission to pick a few of our neighbors branches.
We we're incognito, so no one saw. 

We cut them to the size of the inside of the frame. 

They fit tightly so we didn't need to glue them in.

Then stapled card stock to the back of the frame for a pop of color.

POP!  It creates a great silhouette effect!

Very Fiddler on the Roof...ya think?
Tradition!

Apple me Timbers.

We all want fall to be here, but it's still so freaking hot in NY!!!!  
We're enjoying a taste of fall while trying to stay cool!

Whiskey, spiced apple cider and an icy shaved topping! 

For this unexpected fall garnish we filled a glass baking dish with apple cider and a splash of whiskey...for good luck.  

Popped it into the freezer overnight.  

Then scraped the frozen cider with a fork to turn it into a shaved ice. 

And piled it ontop of our whiskey cocktail. 

Okay...that's enough summer...we want hoodie weather!...but we are in no way ready for winter. 

Tie-dye mini leaves!

Fall is here and our refrigerator is loving it!

No, seriously, these handmade mini watercolor leaves are a great way to "fall" into the season!

We sloppily painted on watercolor paper and cut out mini leaves.

To finish the look we traced the edges with a golden Sharpie.

I got a golden sharpie!

We made some into magnets and kept some for leaf confetti around the apartment!

What a re-leaf! 

Muppet Mania!

You guys!!!!  The Muppets are coming back!!!!

We couldn't have thought of a better way to celebrate than making this canvas art out of our favorite Muppet t-shirt!

This is pretty simple and a great way to hold onto your favorite shirts you can't part with.

It's time to play the music!
It's time to light the lights!

HIIIII-YA!
