How To Make A Life Size Halloween Mummy for Under $50

Image
I was planning on making another Halloween 'thing' this year, but between all the stuff we've had going on lately plus it being only FOUR weeks until we leave for the States, it's just not going to happen. So instead I'm going to repost my Halloween Mummy tutorial from my old art blog. I can't wait to get Morris or Mortimor or was itAhkmenrah, the Mummy out of storage. At the moment he is wrapped up tightly in some black plastic gargbage bags in the shed. He actually really looks like a dead body which is kind of creepy in itself...maybe that's what I'll make next year.....
Anyway........   Here is my tutorial on how to make a Mummy for Halloween!


As you all know and I've said many times, I love Halloween. So this year I thought I'd make a Mummy. I am extremely happy with how he turned out, he was cheap and easy to make, although he was a little more time intensive than I had thought it would be. Materials were easy to find and very inexpensiv…

Time To Say Goodbye

Hey Folks out there in internet land. This year is heading towards a close and it's got me thinking about what I had hoped to achieve this year and what I haven't gotten done....
In the last few years we've been thrown some pretty major shit and each year end I say "good riddance to this  year and here's to next year being better!" And the next year isn't better so it's getting kind of old. 
Since 2012 (so five years), we've dealt with 3 miscarriages, an extremely difficult pregnancy that apparently should have resulted in two babies but didn't, a busted back, an ectopic pregnancy that nearly cost me my life and did cost my fertility. That was followed by pneumonia then a Femoral hernia. In addition to that, we've had to deal with me losing the ability to use my right leg and foot for over a year, more damage to my back, more hospital visits than I can count and stress beyond all belief. There has also been stress from teenage kids who we…

Phil and Teds Smart Buggy and Peanut Pram Review

Image
Those who know me, will know that I love my pram. Well....it's actually Little Miss Penelope's pram, but I'm the one who pushes it so therefore it's mine. So seeing as online reviews helped me make my decision when I was looking to purchase one, I thought I'd write a review for anyone who cares to read it.



 Having had multiple children in multiple prams I knew what I was looking for in a pram for the Little Miss:

It needed to be compact! There is nothing worse than trying to negotiate a big bulky pram through a shopping centre, or small store aisles, or a crowd, or your front door......or fitting into the back of the car with 7 people as well! This one is fantastically tiny. You can see The Awesome One in the picture above: he's 5'9" and he has no issues pushing it around. I'm 5'2" and it's just the right height for me. It's only skinny as well, a bit skinnier across than he is!

It needed to be lightweight for the simple reason of…
