Crafty

I was in San Antonio recently at a store called Home Goods. This place is the nicer of the TJMax and Marshalls family - in my opinion - with very good prices. I was thinking of buying a Halloween door deco for my niece. It was a wooden crescent moon with a witch. As I looked at it I thought, "I can make one."

Although I did not make the crescent moon design, I found pieces of scrap lumber that have been hanging around for much too long and started cutting. Here is what was left after I cut away the scraps.

I am thinking that my niece can use it in her classroom or inside window of her apartment.

The pumpkin stack is for my sister. It is versatile. The "jack-o-lantern" design is with duck tape. You can continue to use it through November. The color is a bit off in the picture and in reality. I was mixing colors to create a better orange and ran out of paint.

 The two upright pumpkins are from last year. The third is laying down waiting for the glitter glue to dry. The color is a bit different from the other two but then again so is he.

I started making this for my other niece but thought she might not appreciate it as much as I did, so I kept it.  I have always liked these seed pods as decorations. When I carve my pumpkins one will have the serpent tongue as well.








I set up the witch in front of the house. A tree branch adds a touch of witchy-ness. The broom is the remains of my dead rose bush roots.

Okay. This is all the deos until Christmas. Now that I have found how easy it is to use the jigsaw creatively, there are no limits. If you would like a yard deco, submit your request as soon as possible. I still have some scarp wood laying around.
