New Potion Bottles for Halfoween
Oh! Hello, Halfoween! How in devil’s teeth did we get to the end of April, already? Not that I’m complaining… I’m really enjoying being warm! But it seems like five minutes since the amazing media fest that was Halloween 2020 (I still can’t quite believe THAT...
A Halloween Shadowbox made FROM JUNK
This past week marked some very important milestones. We welcomed the Aries moon of new beginnings (yes please!) and (hopefully!) saw the end of lockdown in England. (Now THAT's a new beginning we all need.) But more importantly than all of that, we moved another zero...
Valoween Gift Ideas
Beloved isn’t a fan of Yuleoween, Springoween, or Summerween. He remains stubbonly steadfast in his opinion that just because you add a suffix, doesn’t make it so. Au contraire mon ami. Au contraire! If it means injecting a little bit of Halloween into every season,...
Festive Yuletide Home Tour 2020
After the whirlwind that was Halloween 2020 I was so decorated-out that I really didn’t want to think about Christmas. Some might ask “what’s new?” After all, as most of you know the whole C-word shebang isn’t my thing. But I got there eventually and after much effing...

Scarily Simple Hanging Halloween Sign
With Witching Hour less than a fortnight away, I’ve been a busy little bat making and selling my curious creations on Etsy and decorating this year’s Halloween Home. Covid may have put paid to a 2020 Open House, but Halloween stops for no witch! As I may have...
Happy Halloween Month and Giveaway news
Well, hello best month of the year and Happy October! Can you actually believe it’s Halloween month again already? OK, so 2020 may go down as one of the shittiest years on record, and surely the worst of a generation, but there is no way Covid is cancelling MY...
Make a Good Halloween Decoration Look GREAT
Gird your loins, UK Halloweenies. It’s BEGUN! The most wonderful time of the year has arrived this side of the pond… a whole week earlier than my first Code Orange of 2019. Whooooop! We obsessives must be doing something right. It seems our campaign to bring...
Samhain 2019 – New Year, New Beginnings
Happy Halloween! Or Samhain as it's known in my world. Pronounced Sow-en, Samhain is Gaelic for “Summer’s End” and marks a full turn on The Wheel of the Year. If you're looking for a simple ritual to celebrate, head on over to this post. While I get excited for...
Victorian Gothic Glam Pumpkin
As you’ll no doubt be painfully aware by now, my style is somewhat eclectic. But if I was to lean towards one particular aesthetic, especially for Halloween, it would have to be moody Gothic. And what better way to celebrate the season than with a Victorian Gothic...
Beltane, Walpurgisnacht and the Second Halloween
It’s Bank Holiday season, yay! And hot on the heels of Easter and its unusually glorious weather is Beltane. Also known as May Day, Beltane is a Celtic Fire Festival that falls on 1st May. It heralds the beginning of summer and honours the joining of the Goddess and...
Mixed Media Eggs for Easter and Beyond
The skies are blue and the sun is shining. Surely it can’t possibly be a Bank Holiday? And yet, here it is. Easter has arrived and to celebrate, I’ve made a couple of Mixed Media Eggs to add to my growing collection. Why is Easter late this year? Making it to the...
Mother’s Day Mixed Media Canvas
In many countries, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May but here in the UK, Mother’s Day falls in March which this year, is next weekend. However, like many extraneous seasonal events, I won’t be celebrating. Although this time, it’s not because I...
Sowing Seeds for Ostara
Next week sees one of the most exciting times of the year. Spring! The arrival of the Spring Equinox on 20 March sees night and day equal once more and the air alive with all the promise of the year to come. Apologies to my friends in the Southern Hemisphere who are...

I’m so busy having fun with new projects at the moment, I doubt I’ll find time to create a Valentine mantel this year. But I have made a couple of LOVEly new pieces to inspire you to decorate for the annual day of lurve and beyond. And I’ve gone a bit Gothic. To look...
DIY Chinese New Year Decorations with FREE downloads
As you may have gathered by now, I‘m rather partial to a seasonal event. Halloween may be my number 1 (even if the rest of the UK is still playing catch-up!), but whether it’s balls for Burns or dragon eggs for St George, I just love me a national celebration. Any...
