Make Your Own Seasonal Witch Hat
This Halloween eve I made another witch hat, this time using the measurements/pattern created by my lovely friend Classic Andi (on Instagram). This past year she and I have been making a witch hat for every season. Mine were tall and pointy with a wide brim, hers here short with a narrow brim. I loved […]
Making My Pine Dryad Headdress
Texas Renaissance Festival season is upon us, and while I have many costume options to wear during most of their themed weekends, I’ve never attended during 1001 Dreams (think: fairies and fae folk) nor do I own a single pair of wings.

Making My Winter Holly Overdress
I’ve been botanically witchy lately. After having so much fun making a Loblolly pine cone witch for Halloween, I decided to keep the witch costume theme going for each season. My winter witch was inspired by ice berries one might see after an ice storm, more locally to Houston is a deciduous holly (or meadow […]

Making My Loblolly Pine Cone Dress
“I want to be a pine cone for Halloween!” isn’t something a 40-something year old woman would normally say, but here we are in the alternate universe of 2020 when you don’t ask “but why tho?” you just roll with things. But seriously, why? I was scrolling Pinterest for costume inspiration for me to wear […]

Since last October when I posted my friend Sarah’s How to Make Your Very Own Fabulous Witch Hat, I’ve been wanting to make my own witch hat with fabric and craft remnants. This fall while working on my pine cone costume I did just that, and now Sarah and I have our own tiny craft […]
How to Make Your Very Own Fabulous Witch Hat
A guest blog post by Sarah Going out with girlfriends to Witches Night Out at Granny’s Korner in Tomball, Texas for a little pre-Halloween fun calls for a special witches hat! Inspired by the “best hat” contest, exceeding craftiness and my lack of funds, I decided to go online and find a tutorial for making a witch’s hat. I didn’t […]
Party like It’s 1919: Gatsby Style
Known as the Roaring Twenties, the Jazz Age, or commonly the Gatsby Era, this decade of frivolity and progress has inspired us for generations. The fashion, the cocktails, the music and parties…I love all of it. Nowadays we put a modern spin on the make-up (at least) and probably don’t stay out as late. Achieving […]
