Let's make some cosy crafts from cheap Halloween decor and have a nice time

[@xingcat]

Ha! Taking note of a safety issue and then doing something that doesn’t increase safety but FEELS better is so my style, as well.

[@MMacNicol]

Love this video. When I saw the plastic skull, all I could think was, "On your head!!", so I love what you did with it. Maybe more (black velvet covered) padding to make a nest for your head? Whatever; the ties are beautifully positioned. What a fun set of projects!

[@mariailyukhina405]

I love vicariously watching all these nice fabrics, patches, yarns etc. I love to get more into crafts when I have more time, which is likely never. Watching someone doing it scratches that itch.

[@dawnmoriarty9347]

"Things are nice". Couldn't agree more, especially when they can also be turned into OTHER nice things.

[@BookCat18]

Having my own mom emergency health issue, this was a nice thing to watch. Undemanding when I feel poorly. Delighted by the final products!

[@Tisiloves]

Tags are evil. I'm glad you had a nice time in Japan.

[@stevezytveld6585]

Maybe hand sew a hair comb into the back of the scull to help secure it? It's going to be back heavy with the horns so you might have to weigh the middle to counterbalance? I don't know, it's a mystery that looks great. You could decorate it with flower garlands for spring. Well done with the holiday apparel. All the best of the spooky season to you and yours. Congratulations on the honeymoon. Sounds like it was a wonderful time. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

Hey Cathy! Hope you had a great Halloween. Ours was good and the rain held off till all but the older kids were out! Oh and it was warm so the kid didn’t have to layer!

[@stevezytveld6585]

@@robintheparttimesewer6798 Hey Robin! That sounds like a perfect Halloween. I missed seeing any little goules, but I did see university students dressed up for a night of shenanigans. And no, no layering up here either - the sexy fill-in-the-blank girls got off easy.

[@vincentbriggs1780]

The sweater is delightful! Congratulations on finally getting to go on your honeymoon, and on keeping all your blood inside you.

[@kathymarshall220]

Yay, you’re back 😊 Glad you had an amazing honeymoon! I love the kimonos you brought 😊 I couldn’t help but smile at your pet void kitty ❤ the best part of autumn is that they get their winter coats and are extra plushy and snuggly 😊

[@gigi3242]

Glad you had a lovely honeymoon. Sad you are not well, hope you get better quickly. Love the easy holiday ideas, buy something, modify it, ta da done; all the fun, half the work. Have an awesome Halloween.

[@PwnageFury]

So glad you are back and had an amazing trip. Thank you for sharing all your treasures as well as these cool projects! 🦇

[@sbrock6385]

Thank you ❤

[@MiffoKarin]

I love all of these projects, but the jumper is my favourite. It's cute, it's cozy, I would wear it all winter, and I'm not even a fan of orange. 😅

[@cassmacdonald-perfectlyimp2486]

Your trip/belated honeymoon sounds amazing - particularly the Ghibli. Love what you came up with and seeing what you bought that made you happy. Really love the blanket etc ideas

[@xtsdagger6956]

Welcome back

[@Void-zf3bk]

I relate too much to the "honeymoon but 5 years late", I hope you had a wonderful time. I also hope you feel better soon! I think my favorite project is the pink cloak, it gives me some ideas. The vest also turned out super nice, glad you decided to make the bias binding!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

Stuff is nice! I enjoy looking at others stuff the fact that I can’t get the same is also fine! Most of my cool stuff comes from thrift so I’m used to that concept. All your makes are lovely. The skull hat is fun. I’ll have to remember that if the grandson ever comes up with a similar thought!

[@ZiriO]

So glad you had a great honeymoon, and I'm in love with the cape and jumper!

[@hopetn]

I love that jumper!

[@azteclady]

Happy Hallows Eve! Lovely to see you, and even lovelier that you had such a great time in Japan. (not so great, whatever requires blood thinners--sending all the good health energy your way) I like all your projects, but the skull is inspired! I wonder if you have any ball cap that you could separate from the brim, and just use the round dome part as a base to attach the skull to, then attach some strings to the edge of that fabric to help secure it in the position you want. (I'm not sure this is as clear in writing as it's in my brain--sorry)

[@emilysmith2784]

Your creativity knows no bounds. I bow to you. I love everything! I hope my Asda still has those throws. I’m going now 😂

[@KathleenStidham]

Hope you start feeling better soon. I so needed a bit of a diversion tonight. Thank you for this gift of your time and expertise. ❤

[@TheEmeraldElf]

Attaching the Ram Skull to a close fitting coif that covers your neck could give you the support you need. If additional support is required then perhaps snap attachments to a mantle with elastic under the arms would be very secure. Could also be very dramatic depending on your choice of material.

[@thefoundbird9862]

I'm so glad to see your face again, welcome back!

[@cloudiefluffs]

Welcome back! This whole time I was like, “I hope Ash is okay, they probably got sick after their holiday.” Mostly because I felt weirdly burnt out after taking a month’s leave and just started to recover creatively and just is life😅 loved your lil projects. Personally I’m going to pretend spoopy season extends November

[@beeb6730]

So glad you're back and sympathies on the unexpected medical stuff, I'm actually watching while I take a short break preparing for my new-specialist emergency appointment so I empathize.

[@janetmaffy5375]

Happy Halloween! Can't wait to see what you use the kimono for

[@missnaomi613]

As always, I couldn't just play this in the background while doing other things. At least I didn't waste time trying that this time! 😅🙃 It all turned out super cool!

[@Mommamacnz]

Awesome projects and i really like how the cardy and cloak came out. You've inspired me to try something similar.

[@danielletdg8423]

Congrats on getting to celebrate your Honeymoon! ❤ But I'm sorry to hear about the health struggles, so not fun. Thanks for a fun & cozy video. Here's hoping I can pattern out my night pants that I pulled out two days ago. I am mentally and creatively motivated, but my infusion took all my energy & oomph. At least I'm not on a time table. Thanks for keeping me company.

[@coalsparks]

I feel like the skull needs to be mounted on something shaped like a petite version of a newsboy’s cap.

[@haleyhoudini]

This was spectacular! And very inspirational -- my sewing room is about to get some serious use hehe! Glad youre taking good care of yourself ❤ that's most important!

[@AlisonGreenValleyCrone]

I’m not going to go to japan so really enjoyed your haul. The projects are bonkas! But loved them 😂

[@aimeemorgado8715]

I am so thrilled there are people out there that think a little bit like me. Loved all your projects, the treasures you shared from your honeymoon, and watching you roll with the punches projects love to send your way. Wishing you health, joy, and prosperity!

[@madebymaryssa]

6:26 - must pay proper tribute to the void! I'm occasionally hearing a high, quiet ringing sound, and I'm not sure if it's the microphone or my speakers. (It does stop if I pause the video, so it's not anything else on my end.) All these projects turned out looking really nice! I think my favourites are the bat cloak and the jumper, because autumn tends to put me in a mood for cozy things.

[@beeb6730]

I'm also getting weird sounds, almost a spooky soundtrack but I don't think its intentional and I do prefer plain audio

[@woodenkat8971]

Yeah, there is a spooky audio in the background. Not obvious all the time but it is there.

[@adrienne2200]

This was such a fun and cozy video, good to see you back! I really loved the jumper, and the lantern was such a quick and easy glam-up that I’m tempted to go do it myself (I really don’t need a lantern, though. 😅) I was curious about the vest - it’s not a style I’ve seen before, but it looks a bit reminiscent of traditional Korean clothing. It looks so comfy!

[@AshLG]

It is! It’s the hanbok vest pattern by Sewing Therapy, it’s a free download from Two O Nine Fabric

[@adrienne2200]

@@AshLG Oooh, thanks! I'll have to check that out.

[@KitOfTheWeirdWoods]

I love love love the jumper. Where was that blanket from? I don't think you said?

[@AshLG]

Also Asda I think!

[@Ane_Rikke]

Yeah… I had a catastrophic systemic clotting issue happen a couple of years back, and bloodthiners are better… 😂 But bloodthinners ARE a hassle, and combined with severe psoriasis can give a REALY good halloween look, but not so fun rest of the year… (hurray for modern medication that can relieve that too, and keep us alive and kicking abit loonger :) )
