With Thanksgiving out of the way, it’s time to focus on Hallowe’en. To that end, I’ve been working on a few different spooky projects over the last couple of days.

Those little black pots pictured above were for this.

It’s a candle holder I found at Michaels, but of course, I thought – I can put plants in that! So I got six little terracotta pots, painted them black and planted them up with some cacti and succulents.

I think it’s pretty cute!

In other plant news…

I also got this little cauldron planter to paint up. My original plan was to put my string of pearls plant in it, look it looked like little bubbles… but then I remembered I had this dragon fruit that was in need of planter… so in it went.

And in the same vein of paint-your-own pottery…

I couldn’t resist this little light-up ghost cat!

This next project was the most time consuming….

…and it took a very steady hand to paint (which is a lot harder for me than it used to be), but I’m pleased with the results. It’s now hanging in the kitchen.

Several of you have seasonal buntings you put out… and I absolutely love the idea. I’ve been planning to make some, but then I found this one at Michaels and just had to get it and put in on the antique radio cabinet we have under the TV!

Halloween gnomes in candy corn hats!!! Admittedly, it’s a little long for the radio front, but I still think it’s adorable. Here’s a close up of those gnomes!

Too cute!

And last, but not least – my knit pumpkins are out for the season again

These guys make me smile every time I see them!

Now… I have to get the outside of the house decorated – there’s a lot of skeletons to pull out of the closet!
