Witchy cupboard and a little behind, lol!

Did this title and then laughed. Nope, don't have a little one of those!

I've been busy working all weekend, yesterday and today to catch up. Last week i had a combination of things making me feel ill and so was rather sluggish with making mini's.
I think i had a very slight sickness bug but mixed in with my sore neck, and migraines every day i didn't actually manage to achieve much.
I just hate it when so much time is lost!

I have quite a lot on the go but thought i would share with you the progress on the witchy flying out cupboard. The picture is not great because it's now dusk.
It's not finished yet. I need to make the hanging rack on the side for the witches broom or even brooms and put little objects like keys and anything witches leave in their hall cupboards, Lol. I'm trying to make it look like the witch has dressed it for Halloween cheer and is in the meantime busy preparing elsewhere for Halloween fun! Can you see the little parcels at the bottom. These are presents she has wrapped for friends she will soon be off to visit. Oh lol, you have to try and think what a witch would think like!

I've also been making some potion tables and a witches washing day table. I've made the washing table with faces on the legs like miserable old wooden legs. I will show pics when they are a little further along.

Hopefully now i'm back on track after last week will soon have some items for sale.

Back in a few days with new pics.

  3. It looks wonderful Nikki, I love the hat and I will be keeping an eye out for when you intend to list it! I think migraines are an occupational hazard as we spend so much time looking down at our work or computors, but I am glad to hear you are feeling a bit better with the virus now.
    Bye for now, Julia xx

  6. Hi Nikki, poor you, feel better soon, theres so much going around and as soon as they go back to school the bugs are rife! Weve had colds etc already since school started!
    We always look forward to your posts to see what youve been up to and you never dissapoint. This is great, love the rusticness, and love those shoes! Great mix of witchy grunge but with just the right balance of colour.So looking forward to seeing the other goodies.
    Tak care of yourself

  8. Lovely! I like the idea of the keys and things--a sweater might work, hanging there. Or a cape?

    anyways--cute!

  10. I don't know how you can function with migraines every day. I was a migrain sufferer for years and I could not function at all when I had an attack.

    I love your cupboard and that hat is wonderful. The pumpkins add a nice touch.

  13. Hi Debie.
    I'm ok this week it was just last week and the one before i was feeling horrid.
    Glad you like the cupboard so far. The picture isnt that great so it looks a bit odd. Think its going to be one of those that you can't take a good photo of.

  14. Hi Kim. The shoes i really struggled with but they have turned out fine. I just wish i could find the little buckles which are lost in my room somewhere.
    Its nice to feel well this week.

  15. Hi Julia. I only ever seem to get migraines with some foods. I've discovered monosodium glutamate makes me get migraines so check all food now. I make all my own sauces normally but i had chinese and they put loads of the stuff in that.
    Love your sitchy corner. I now want one too, lol.

  16. Hi Kat. Feel fine now and have managed to make some mini's. I think i'm a bit of a slow worker though and wish i knew how to speed up some.

  18. Hi Kate and John. I too notice balance of colour. When i was at school i remember the teacher teaching us how to blance colour in a painting and so do it with everything now. Even with make-up, lol.
    Feeling loads better now.
    When i ever manage to finish everything i'll post everything here too. Thats if i ever get anywhere, lol.

  21. Hi Julie. Yes, keys and a cloak will be great. I think i'll have some hangers on the sides for capes. The broom is going to hang from one side too!
    Thanks for the ideas.

  22. Hi Marsha. Feeling great now.
    I love pumpkins and hoping to make more before halloween. Wish i had ordered more leaves now. I paint them but the shape is so hard to hand cut its easier to buy them already cut.

  23. Hi Doreen. When i get migraines each one doesnt last too long but when they happen i can't even see straight. I get treble vision, throw up and just feel sick for a few hours. Then it goes for a few more hours or a day and then back again. All you can do is shut your eyes and rest.
    If it continues to get worse maybe i should get medication.
    Glad you like the cupboard. Will be much better when finished.

  25. Hi Kathi. Glad you like the shoes. Wish i could find the buckles tucked away somewhere for safe keeping. I can't finish them until i do. I've searched and searched with no luck.

  26. Hi Deni. I too have a thing for pumpkins. I love to see real ones carved.
    I have a photo of my husbands cousins sitting in a pumpkin field and would love to see them growing in large numbers and pick out the ones i want.
