Hello! And welcome to The Witch at OneandSeventy formerly The World of Suzy Homemaker… the abridged version.
For the full-length, grab-yourself-a-cuppa version, click here.
I’m Sue AKA Suzy H, AKA The Witch at OneandSeventy. I’m a typical 50-something South Londoner, with a most untypical Halloween obsession. My home is my castle and I’m busy crafting a life where handmade meets High Street and home is made with attitude and magic.
Samhain (pronounced Sow-en) or Halloween is my most wonderful time of the year. I celebrate by transforming our 3-bed semi in Staffordshire, UK into a Haunted Mansion and inviting the local Trick or Treaters inside to share in my Halloween passion. In 2017, we estimate around 300 people queued up just to see my decorations, with people arriving in taxis from nearby towns just to visit us.
The Cauldron Inn is fast becoming a local Halloween tradition. But here at OneandSeventy, Halloween isn’t just one night. You’ll find creepy crafts and spookalicious projects in these pages all year round. Many of my decorations are on permanent display and are used to weave deliciously dark magical touches into my everyday decor. Like a magpie, I seek out the shiny, the macabre and the different, bring it all together, mix it up a bit, then sprinkle it with magic to make a home worthy of any witch.
If you love your home and you like things, well… a little different, then this is the blog for you. In my world, you’ll find a compendium of curious crafting projects, year-round Halloween inspiration and seasonal celebration ideas that will inspire you to create a stylish, if somewhat eclectic home, packed with personality.
When you join my gorgeous gang of email subscribers, you’ll get immediate access to a library of free, subscriber-only resources to help make your home magical. There’s a bunch of free printables, including some for Halloween that I’ve designed especially and I try to add more great resources when I can.
This library is SO exclusive, you won’t even find a link to it on the website. The ONLY way to access it is through my email updates. So, if you keep subscribing, I’ll keep making you freebies.
Sound good?
Then let’s give you access to The Witch at OneandSeventy’s magical stash! Simply use the form below to sign up and you’ll be sent the link to the library, along with the password.
I can’t wait to welcome you into my curious and crafty world.

So hello to an Amazingly Awesome Woman! I must say you absolutely rock! Obviously I’m new here & happily so. I’m not sure what I’m more excited about, the fact that you are one of the rare people who leave decorations up all year long or that you make the most amazing decorations & make it all look so easy?
