 This year, I'm doing something different by posting on Instagram and here, according to the day's themes. The difference is there'll be at least a couple more photos included on this blog. Be sure to friend me there (cwrite12), play along and share the list!!

Here's the theme schedule: Post your minis based on the day's themes and tag me and the post theme - @halloweenmini 

💀 What says Halloween more than skeletons? 💀

The coffin above is a fun gag-gift to stop smoking (it has recorded messages when you push a button) that we happend to find at Goodwill. I was making a funeral home parlor with skellies, which is not quite done yet. I did dress the skellie for the coffin and was dressing several others as mourners. I decided to get it out and work on it again. Maybe it'll be ready by Halloween, but I figured I can always change the inside around to other stores later if I want. 

I actually have dressed quite a few other skellies as they are fun to do. Here's one I did in a small wall hanging box.  


I also did a fortune teller's room in a smaller greenhouse.  The customers look pretty happy considering how long they've been waiting for their turn. ha! See a few other photos.


Don't forget to stop and have a cup of tea with Grandma Skellie. (See other photos here.)

Guess I like skeletons? ha! My latest favorite is this little joined, movable guy/gal (?) and his/her dog who are visiting at my Witch's Cottage.


And did you know...  Skellies are useful! I mean who can't use a Skellie sewing machine?  This fun kit  - complete with "foot" pedal - haaa! - is from Alice Zinn. Contact her on Facebook to get one (if they're not gone already, or maybe she'll make more.)
