I have a small obsession with candelabras and have recently started to taking an interest in chandeliers as well! I'm sure you can imagine how thrilled I was to find a sweet, simple, and cheap DIY chandelier tutorial on this blog! I'll be adding this to my list of ever growing projects :)

I really love candles, soft lighting, and of course, crafts! I'm pretty sure this crafty project could be turned into a gothic delight pretty easily! I came across the tutorial for this DIY thread LED tea light cover at the Wedding Bee. I'm not interested in making these for my wedding (no, no, only gothic old looking candleabras with skulls on them will do for my wedding! lol).. but I think a few of these in the window cill would look pretty snazzy.
One of my more recent fascinations has been with terrariums. I have yet to make my own but oogle over all the ones that other people have made. Recently I came across this blog post with a tutorial on how to create a terrarium centerpiece. This is this one of the better tutorials I've seen I thought I'd share it with you. I'm sure I can't be the only one fascinated by these mini worlds. :)
Martha Stewart has done it again! She's come up with another great fall/halloween pumpkin project! Ok, let's be honest, we know there must be someone working there... or maybe a whole team of people who are the ones coming up with these great ideas, but never-the-less, I still can't get enough of all their fall & halloween treats! You'll find the tutorial for these pumpkins here.
Here's a look at our jack-o-lanterns from this year!
Oh, and don't forget about some home decor...this isn't "halloween decor", it's "all year around decor" ;)

This is season I'm featuring these paper ornaments that double as a mini greeting cards. They are prefect to give to your friends and family to let them know you are thinking of them.
After someone receives one of these paper ornaments and reads the special message that you wrote for them, they will want to hold on to them because they look super cute on holidays trees! They aren't just a mini greeting card, they are a personalized paper present that will be cherished for years to come.
They can be purchased in a pack that includes 4 different designs or can be purchased separately. I'm welcome to large custom orders so if I don't have enough listed in my shop, feel free to contact me.
This is our brand new light! You can see the one we got last year in the background. They compliment each other perfectly :)
Oh, and these aren't just Halloween decorations. We keep them up all year round :D
Every month I like to run a fun series. Every Monday I post a new blog entry in the featured series. Last month, I featured the "Super Resource List Series" which included a current look at my personal bookmarks for Crafty Blogs, Other Blog Stuff, Twitter Resources, and Misc Resources. If you missed last month's series, you missed out on some great resources! Don't worry though, you can follow the links above and get in the loop :)
This month my feature series is called "My Artist Studio Series: A Closer Look at Where I Work". I really hope other people share their work spaces too because I love to see where other people get creative. BTW, Flickr has some great artsy workspaces.
This week I'm letting you have a peek at the window in my studio and all the goodies it holds. My Plurk and Twitter friends already had a sneak peek but now I'll show you even more!
Above is an overview of the window and my beloved curtains in all their glory! As many of you know, I'm a HUGE "The Nightmare Before Christmas" fan and basically celebrate Halloween all year long.
Above is a closer look at the goodies that live on the window cill. 2 of my TNBC mugs that arrived broken in the mail (2 others arrived safely and we use them often), NES Super Mario Brothers toys (Princess Peach and a Chain Chomp), a Christmas decoration (see below), a photo frame of my dog and I, and my black rose in a sweet holder (see below).
And you thought I only celebrated Halloween all year long! Although I don't go "all out" for Christmas like I do for Halloween, I do celebrate Christmas in my own little (morbid) way, he he. Above is the only Christmas decoration that stays out all year long. It's a "Living Deadarium X-mas Edition: Candy Rot" that I purchased on Etsy from "BlackthornCreations". It is one of my purchases from Etsy.
Above is a closer look at my black rose being "held" by my favourite "vase" hehe. I got both of them a few years ago at Michael's.

Check out another area of my studio next Monday!

Here are a few of my fav flickr finds for today. The top left and the bottom right are by Gege_Crochet's and the top rigth and the bottom left are by diffraction.etsy.com. Please go check them out because their photostreams are full of inspiration! I'm in love with NES as well as psyhcology (I'm almost finished my university psychology BA!) so of course I had to share these finds! Enjoy!
