Funny how when you have more time you get more obligations - not less. It seems there is just never enough time to do the things you like instead of the mundane stuff like washing and cleaning.
Well, I managed to sneak a few hours in to do some crafting and preparing for Halloween. Of course I had to start out with making more of my favorite cloche projects. I have a few left over from last year and decided I needed to make those first to make room for other things that I want to make and sell. My biggest problem though is photographing the little spookies. The shiny dome reflects even minute amounts of light and since I use my little phone to take the shots, I have a dickens of a time getting a clear shot.
Next, I worked on my second most favorite projects - paper Halloween houses. I did 3 or 4, each a little a different. I sold two of one style and was thinking maybe I should make another of that design. Hard to convince myself to do so though because I always want to make each one unique.
New this year are small, paper, vintage inspired, Halloween shadow box ornaments. I made about 4 to see the response before I make more. I think they are super cute. They can be hung up or free standing. So far I got a ton of "likes", but no purchases.
All of these were cut on my Silhouette.
Stay tuned for more...I plan to get a few more hours in of crafting this weekend if I'm not too tired from ends.
