The living dead

I had seen him before many times without it registering with me, but today I found out who Rick Genest is {aka, Zombie Boy}. I thought it quite apt it happened on Halloween morning. Additional bonus – he’s Canadian.

You may recognize Rick from Lady Gaga’s ‘Born this Way‘ video, where he shot to international fame earlier this year.

Blackboard wall – Halloween

Last weekend we got in the mood for Halloween by a festival of the Paranormal Activities trilogy. I had 30 minutes to draw something Halloweeny for our chalkboard wall beforehand, and this is what I came up with. Not ground breaking. I really wanted to draw an unholy amount of ghouls, skeletons, and zombies, but didn’t have the time. So I drew some massive spider webs in stead. I’ve already invested some serious thought into my Christmas wall – I know, too soon.
I hope you have a happy and safe Halloween this weekend! I hope you’re being something scary. I never understand when people dress as cute things {children are exempt from this statement}. It’s Halloween for god sake.

My favorite picks – happy Halloween!

1. Printable Russian Doll Halloween Garland from Happythought via Poppytalk. How obscenely adorable are these? Perfect for my Russian obsession. Очень симпaтичня.

 2. Fiendish Fancies by Mr. Kipling. The perfect amount of sugar for this weekend. I may have had a box already.

3. Black Skull Money Bank from Urban Outfitters. Is it weird that I would keep this out all year? Well I would.
4. Candy corn pillows by Lion Brand Yarn {you must join to view the pattern}. I wanted to crochet these on a larger scale as pillows this Halloween, but (wait for it) there was no orange yarn in Dublin. Anywhere. Big fat sad face.
5. Haunted House Silhouettes by Jeffery Rudell via Poppytalk. Further proof that I need a house of my own. Such a simple and extremely effective idea.
