99 Days Till Halloween 2021... I think!



OMG I miscounted and almost missed writing my first 2021 post on my 99 Days of Halloween blog!! In my defense I think I either counted today or didn’t count Halloween. Or maybe I'm a day early… whatever. At least I caught my mistake. It’s sorta hot (since it’s July) and tho I ❤️ Halloween I don’t feel very Halloween-ish right now. But my car's tellin' a different story!


I'm an avid thrift shopper & crafter. The photo up 👆🏻 shows 3 of my recent finds. The family hasn't seen the clown mask before today... I expect some objections to its presence in my dining or living room, lol! 

That's a vintage 50s Madam Alexander doll behind the clown face. I don't think she's a creeper but she DOES need eyelashes. If you're part of the group that says 'OMG creepy doll' any time you see a vintage doll, well... to each their own!

99 Days of Halloween, sort of

 Ideas... I have SO MANY ideas for Halloween projects because I'm a maker/crafter. But once the new project excitement has worn off work begins to slack off and I rarely finish them.

The pressure sorta takes the joy out of the season if you know what I mean. This blog should be named 'whole buncha stuff about Halloween throughout the year' and it would be more accurate. But since this is mostly (or all) an undiscovered blog I'm my worst critic. It's not new but since I haven't been active or promoted it, no one's seeing it. This year I'm being kind to myself, keep up the best I can and call it good. This is my first post for 2024 and this season I'm on a mission to complete my unfinished projects while allowing myself to start a few more. In August '22 I found a H...

98 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN

On July 24th there were 99 days left until Halloween. Yeah, basically the name of this blog. But yesterday. I got busy and missed the date again. So HAPPY 99 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN a day late! It's true- there's less than 100 days till Halloween and you know what that means? Code Orange!! No not that guy. It means that Halloween merch has started showing up in stores. I've seen pix on Instagram at Home Goods. It's arriving at Michaels (tho lots of it is pink & black). I know what you're thinking- let's have a moment of silence for the loss of Joanns stores- they're missed by many!! If you have any independent craft, fabric & yarn shops near you be sure to support them if you're able cause you'll miss 'em when they're gone.  I've been thinking about Halloween off & on since January since it's my favorite holiday and have made a few plans for events to attend and projects to create. This little needle felted pumpkin is one of man...
