The Haunted Dolls House - Part 1

One of my favourite Bloggers (and writers) is Jenny Lawson aka The Bloggess. She is super smart, super funny, super weird and, as an extra bonus to her brilliant writing (and drawing), she has also been making a Haunted Dolls House for years.

I personally think this is an extremely cool project and one I had recently decided to copy pursue as a form of therapy for some truly awful crap I have been going through for the past few years.

So imagine my delight when I spotted this little piece of slightly spooky decrepitude on someones verge this morning while I was walking the doggies.

Mock Tudor, two story abandoned Dolls House!

Perfection.

Anyhoo, I raced the dogs home, jumped in the car and roared two blocks back to grab it before anyone else could.  Because, of course, people would be lining up to get a piece of this sweet spooky action!

So here's some more shots - no idea what my plans are yet but I think this could be a fun project to work on when stress, anxiety and some of the other fun symptoms come calling.

I particularly love how spooky it already looks!  Like my work is practically done.

This is the sort of house you should definitely not go into, particularly alone and at night. There are some seriously Haunting of Hill House vibes going down all ready I think.





I think I want to do shingles for the roof, add some kind of secret passage and deck it out in some Gothic furniture. 

I have a bunch of cheerful, Swedish wooden dolls furniture from my kids old dolls house that I am hoping to transform into some eldritch styles.






I'll try to blog my progress on this and other stuff more regularly.  It's been a hard 12 months...on the back of a few pretty hard years.

Hopefully transforming this into the perfect Horror movie miniature will be the exact type of stress relief this lil Witch needs.

Suggestions for inspiration gladly accepted in comments!

    I am totally enchanted with this idea. When the creative juices flow, it attracts magical finds such as this beauty.

New Moon Binding

Tuesday 19 December 2017 Apogee So last night I performed a binding spell for the New Moon.  It was a variation (and escalation) of one I have performed many times in the past.  The last time I bound this person it worked fantastically well, although it ended up being a much more literal binding that I expected. The Duke and I are once again having to face this particular adversity and I wanted to ensure my protections and wards were strong.  I also decided to do another binding  and, rather than just repeat the original, I decided to add a stronger simulacrum spell to the binding ritual. I made the poppet earlier in the year, during spring, using local grasses. I love Hedgewitching in Spring. My suburb is a garden suburb, so it's ridiculously easy to find almost anything you want, just by taking a stroll. All my preparations went fine, not surprisingly, as I've been planning this working for quite a while. The son left to go to D&D so he was saved...

All Hallows by All Hallows I have been wanting a Finfolk All Hallows Eve mermaid tail for ever (well since last year when they released this limited edition tail and I was completely povvo and couldn't afford to buy it).  A local Perth mermaid, the awesome Kirstie Godfrey, recently decided she didn't love the colours and agreed to sell me her brand new, tags still attached, size small AHE.  Note the size small. So I used to be a size small.  Hell I used to be a size XS...but not so much in the last 6 to 7 years. But I REALLY love this tail and if anything can inspire me to lose the chub it is this beautiful piece of whimsy..  So I have set myself a goal of being able to fit comfortably into her by Halloween (this year you cheater).  Fully stretched at the waist, this tail is only just 62 cm.  According to the Finfolk size chart for this tail an S is supposed to be 71.12cm at the waist.  An XS is meant to be 66cm. Finfolk, despite maki...
