This Labor Day weekend has been great! We've been hanging out in the pool, watching movies and I've been able to get some projects finished! Saturday morning I woke up and completely took apart the dress for Eve and made all the alterations before Michael even woke up. It felt really good to get it done, UFO's drive me nuts! It looks great, and I can't wait for Ivana to come over and try it on!Saturday evening and Sunday morning I was able to take some time and finish the Halloween village. I love it! For some houses I copied the paint colors directly from the Little Glitter Houses how-to's because I thought they were perfect just the way they were, but with the rest, I did my own thing.
I've only added the "trees" and a couple accessories for now. I'll continue to add more miniature Halloween items as I find them. Michael contributed the Batmobile and the orange Hearse, and I found the rubber witch at Dollar Tree. I'm hoping to find some mini bats and ghosts somewhere. Or I could probably just make them...
I found great battery-operated LED's from Eleknuts on eBay. They are in Hong Kong and the lights take slightly longer to ship than if you were buying from a US seller. But for the price and the quality, I highly recommend them! I used one strand of white and one strand of red. I think I'll get some more for the Christmas village.
I'm sure I'll post more pictures of the Halloween village when it gets set-up for real next month.
