Our Newest

AT LAST!!!

We finally got our little fellows listed on EBAY last evening.... with Pumpkin Glop to spare!!! This was a fun one to make...trying to figure out things and how best to make something work and look natural...those are always the fun ones...What I took a chance with was both of us jumped right into this one started making dolls and props... and then it dawned on us... 'What if I can't make the Pumpkin Glop look real enough...what then'!!! So it was a tad 'bass-ackwards'
but in the end I think we managed to make the 'glop' look pretty real....tee hee...I even added a bit of 'fall spice fragrance' to the mix... smells yummy... WOW...SMELL-O-VISION Art!!

Also the little Drac Bust is a miniature 'Faux Marble' that we listed...

With a few big pieces pending...we are thinking these will unfortunately be our last goodies to list this Halloween Season...BOO-HOO!! I so wanted to make some witches...

Here is the Listing for more Pictures Elves and Drac

Off and Running...much to get done today...one being Clean Up the 'Glop' mess I made....

Going Kayaking tomorrow...first time for the fall season...VERY excited...

Hugs To All on this Fine Fall Tuesday

Pumpkin Glop,ladder and blueprints!!!

Hmmmmmmmmm I am having a very interesting weekend!!! Got you curious??? Actually putting the finishing touches on our newest EBAY Piece that will be listed tomorrow...

It involves all of the above.... still have you curious....!!?? I will just say...I am a mess, sticky, have 8 things going at once and I am still trying to name the piece....I am leaning towards 'Punkie Sprites'

OK...that's about it from the Creager Cave.... been a hectic last few days...so needless to say I am REALLY looking forward to my Saturday Night glass of wine ...hee hee.

Hope everyone is having a Super Weekend so far...

I Could Not Let.....

This WONDERFUL First day of October pass without saying Happy Happy Witching Season to one and all...

I have been doing a little happy dance all day long around the house... had my first cup of Hot Cider as our weather just today had an actual chill in the air this morning ...it was delightful and most welcomed. I also started to drag my decorations out of various hiding spots around the house ... cupboards, closets, upper shelves, behind boxes, in boxes, from the garage, in drawers. It is like seeing old friends again...memories rush back from Halloweens Past, good times and good scares. Each year I change things around a bit and plan little...rather choosing to play it by ear and see which way the Hallowmuse leads me... I think we should all post pictures of our decorations on our Blogs...what say ye?? I still have not found wonderful things this year in commercial stores...but when the time is right...I am sure I will make a ghost or two to hang about. I think too I am going to have a Seance here with all my local girl friends... should be fun and VERY interesting...have not done that for years...last one I did...a hand print was left in the center of a very BIG table we were using...where no one sat and the hand was huge ...I will smudge and leave open scissors near the table and take other precautions. I know some very spiritual gals here so it could get very interesting.

OK..enough of this hocus pocus...I am off to dreamland in about 10 minutes ..the moon is bright tonight so my dreams should be full of fun things...

Oh...and this is my 200th post.... saved it for my first October Post...

Sleep Well All...

Hugs,

One Post Away for 200...do I actually talk that much???

Well of course I do.... talk talk talk talk...truth be known I should by all rights be up to about 700 posts by now as I could surely talk enough to reach that number...but alas I try to hold back and post more selectively as I don't want to run anyone screaming for the hills...

Instead...for all of you 'Spider Haters' out there...get your running shoes ready...just thought I would post two fun pictures (in honor of Halloween in our Midst) ... Richard and his pet Black Widow Spider......

I took this shot a few years ago right after Richard made this BEAUTIFUL spider for a doll setting we did .... Richard carved this little gal all from wood ...joints and all. So one day while Richard was napping on the couch...the 'EVIL' Jodi crept into the den , carefully placing the spider on his chest ...then stepped back and gave a little scream of course waking Richard to find the spider on his chest and close to his face...the VERY BAD Jodi...popped a picture!!! OK...two things , I didn't realize it would give him such a start as he made the bloody thing and finished it just the day before...but I guess waking from a sound sleep to see something so large in your face...would frighten anyone (who knew)...and second thing...(and what is not featured here in a picture) is Richard right after this... giving me hell for taking such a chance with his spider...claiming that "You have NO IDEA how close I came to flinging it across the room in terror!!! " OMG...I didn't even think of that...

The bad Jodi slithered off to her studio , whimpering forgiveness ...yet allowing the Evil Jodi to enjoy one more slight smile from the corner of her mouth ....BAD JODI BAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!

Hugs from the GOOD Jodi

My Thought for a Monday

One of my all time favorites!!

Happy Monday All ...and a Busy 'Crazy' week

Sunday Dis and Dats!

And now for my Mish Mash of Sunday Sillies... an array of odd ball photos that I recently popped!

First two are a shovel Richard just made and finished this morning for a new Halloween Elf piece we are doing...the dude is nuts...carved the shovel part from wood (and handle) then painted it to look like metal...

Next are the Elves from the piece...just hanging around on my desk top waiting for bodies...I would say they look pretty desperate for their torsos...

The Next two shots are taken in my back yard...not good shots as it was barely light and I didn't use any flash.... but I had to share... am I crazy or does anyone else see the Side View Skull in these two pics??? I sure do... I thought it was pretty cool!!! Halloween Approaches!!

Happy Sunday Everyone...Richard is taking me to breakfast and out to Michael's for Paint...

(heck with the paint...I want the pancakes!!!!)

Hugs to All

Haint Update....

Things remain about the same in my studio...only change...Tess is getting a bit more active checking things out more in my studio...she tends to look upwards a lot more and sniff the air... she bolts out of a sound sleep only to look up and always follow something with her eyes...very interesting. I had a friend once who was very connected spiritually and conducted regression therapy sessions. He was very interesting to be around... you could walk into a home or building with him and he would be talking and all of a sudden just look up to the ceiling in the corner and give a slight smile....I KNEW he saw something...and sometimes he would say " nothing to worry about...it's just a guy, watching us, no harm"....YEAH RIGHT... so of course the rest of the evening I would stare at that spot...sometimes catching myself giving a little 'wave'...

I myself have noticed nothing new...oh, other than I have a bulb over my work table that keeps burning out ...it has burned out in the past, but I believe it is doing it more than normal...replaced two bulbs within the last 2 weeks...this is not normal for my work light.... interesting and have no idea what that might mean.

I continue to wait, watch and stay alert...
