A Halloween craft from 2021! #halloween #craft #hauntedhouse

A craft of a Halloween Haunted House. The black house is made of two wood cuts outs connected by tumbling blocks to allow a space between them. Wood popsicle sticks made the roof and boards of the windows. A spider web fabric decorates the inside of the house. Two sprigs of orange glitter twigs and wood pumpkin cut-outs sit on each side of the house. The base of the house is a wood stand that says "Happy Halloween" with two glitter pumpkins.

Forever in love with the emotion and motion displayed in just a few images. That tattered edge of aggression between fight and flight.

...and I jinxed it. One of the wreaths fell off the door this week and smashed into smithereens. The glue had given on the wall hanger. Well good thing I went to the beach last month. Got some extra shells to make another one!

One last petal. One more thing, you tell yourself.
One last thing, you steel yourself.
Just one more thing and the thing is done.
Just one last thing and the thing is done.
A mantra, a prayer, a vow, a plea.
Just one last thing, between you and me.
