Halloween DIY: creepy, broken china doll

My friend and I put a lot of work into this years halloween costume!! First we went to Value Village to buy bright doll like dresses (pretty sure they were old prom/ bridesmaid's dresses), bought a blank white mask from a costume store, long blonde wigs, white stockings, white gloves, and white face paint.

-We cut the eyes bigger in the mask, painted cracks, red lips, blush, eyeshadow/ eyeliner, and added fake eyelashes to the bottom and top of the eyes.
-We put the white stockings on and painted the joints using liquid black eyeliner.
-We used the white face paint to our arms and neck, and black eyeliner to paint the joints on our elbows.
- Both of our dresses came with a sash so it was used for the massive bow in our hair.
- We painted our eyelids/ around with black eyeliner so that when our eyes are closed (for pictures) they look hollow! and now you have a very creepy china doll :)

DIY - Christmas "for your mistle toes"

CNND9HCG7M8X  -I got this idea from Pinterest and thought it was a cute gift for friends/ extended family.  On Pinterest the "for your mistle toes" note was attached to the nail polish, but I liked the idea of putting it in a little clear plastic bag and finishing it off with a bow.

Painting - watercolours

I found these as I was organizing my room, they are small watercolours I made while in university. There are around 50 in total, and chose 7 to share! Each one is either a depiction of something that happened to me, someone I knew, or something that was said during a conversation that really stood out for me. 

Art - what does it mean

Flying and crying

Sleeping and snow plow

Fire - what would you grab

Dentist - no coverage

Best kind of party attire

DIY - Birch Candles

At my parents cottage there was a fallen birch tree, so I gathered some of the wood and made these tea-light candle holders!  First I used the mitre saw to cut the wood to a desired length, then used a drill with a 1 inch drill bit to make a hole at the top for the tea-light.

Finished Birch Candles :)

Design- T-shirt

Here's a T-shirt I designed! Inspired by migrating birds in the fall.
