Old blog: Spooky

Yesterday I was finally able to get into the new craft room and get it cleaned up. It looks so much better now and is better organized! I decided it was time to work on some crafts because I have not really done anything in a couple weeks, since I started painting the powder room cabinets (more to come on that in a later post). I had spray painted some Dollar Tree pumpkins white back in September so I grabbed those from the garage and headed to the craft room. First thing I did was painted the stems brown and let them dry. I had already printed out the letters to spell SPOOKY so I cut them out and mod podged them to the pumpkins. The funny thing is that I got to letter K and realized I was short 1 pumpkin. Apparently I can spell but I can’t count! So I went to my Fall buckets, which you can see in the background, and found another pumpkin, painted it white, painted the stem brown and mod podged the letter Y on it. Here is where I put them. Please don’t judge by the icky carpet on the stairs. It WILL be removed after the first of the year and we will be putting down wood treads and painting them along with the railing and spindles. We were not lucky enough to have nice wood treads and risers under the carpet or I would have already ripped that carpet OUT! Also, Marisa and I carved that craft pumpkin at the top. Ed and I had a couple left over from last year that we never carved but had already drawn the design for and this was one of them. Of course we made a mess in the craft room doing this but that’s what the dust buster is for! (And if anyone is interested I would like a new one for Christmas-Jr. dropped mine twice now and it is taped together).
