Wicked Wendy's Wicked 3 Post

Yes ... this sign hangs at my front door ...
{grin}

Most of you know its truth  ...
{wicked grin}

I have always been a kid at heart … 

I have always gone for the humor in most all situations … 

I strive to find reasons to laugh ...  and 

I truly believe in the good of all things and people.

I am aware there are a lot of people who view Halloween as a
representation of evilness, things that are ugly, and not of this world.

I tend to put a different spin on this view … 
thus my joy in being Wicked Wendy

As a child growing up, I remember Halloween being about dressing up, 
parties at school, and getting candy .... 
lots and lots of sweet treats! 

… the true gift of seeing things through a child’s eyes.

Yes, looking back now, I can see there were bad things mixed in … 

but I was fortunate, those bad things often never touched me, 

whether in actual deed or by choice of memory.

Therein lies the reason for my joy in the Wicked Hop …

What fun it is to put a bit of magic back into a darkly-tinted season and share a bit of wicked joy by being able to help show the creativity that exists among us!

I give my sincere thanks to Madame Samm for her continued ingenuity in keeping us involved and active with these glorious hops!  She keeps me on my toes!

I also give my sincere thanks to each of you who participate in these hops, whether by sharing your creativity, or sharing your kindness through comments … you all are the reason I so enjoy these hops!!

Without further ado I share with you the Wicked deeds I created for this Wicked Hop and I hope you enjoy them and find a reason to smile for a while …

Would you believe way back in April, 2013, 

when Riley Blake announced the release of the line Too Cute To Spook ... 

I instantly knew I wanted

to use it for wicked Halloween creations ...

Sandy Gervais' pattern "All Smiles"..
Riley Blakes' Too Cute To Spook Fabric

Using this All Smiles pattern by Sandy Gervais,
I framed all the adorable little Spooks in each flying goose ...
they are just Too Cute!

Close up of quilting and Too Cute to Spook creatures...

I also did the free motion quilting on my small machine ...

and took the opportunity to ad-lib some fun words into the stitching ...

you may note the "Wicked" I stitched in above ....

{grin}

When I saw this table runner ... I just knew it had to be made for
a special person who happens to love Birds .... in particular
crows .... what's up with that???
What better time to create this menacing creature of wings
than for the Wicked hop??

Disa Designs Pattern ,,, Four and Twenty Blackbirds
from her marvelous book  More of my Runners

Oh my ... could that be Ghastlie fabric on the back???

{cackle, cackle}

Here's a close up of the Wicked Birds ...

I like the Wicked looking trees in the border, myself 

{wink}

And ... lastly I share with you an item
I designed for our first Wicked Hop,
for which I recreated for this hop,
again using Riley Blake's Too Cute to Spook fabric.

I did say I liked the material ... didn't I ????

"Why Knot? ... A Door Stop"
Pattern by Wendy of Why Knot Kwilt

Fabric is also Riley Blake's
Too Cute to Spook

And if I have all my spooks in a row by time of publishing this post ...

The pattern for this door stop should be available 

to all of you who so desire it on Craftsy here ... 

I thank you again for visiting with me today ... 

and encourage you to go check out what our other Wicked creatures .... 

um, I mean creators .... have to share with you today!!

KKCenterHk Review: N.NAIL 2.5mm Circle Glitter In Gold

Happy Tuesday! Today I will talk about a KKCenterHk product: N.NAIL 2.5mm Circle Glitter in Gold (NNAIL-HSA1-2-5mm). Follow this LINK to go to their website for more info about this product.

I used nail glue to attach them so they were really well fixed. I'm really loving this product. They are really sparkly, so they glam up any look. On their website you have such a huge variety of colors to choose from, I chose gold because I love the sparkle. Here's a link so you can see all the shades available for this product: LINK. The circle glitter comes in a little container, and you're set for life. You get a ton of these, so they are a good investment. They're 2.5mm wide, so they didn't stick out. I'm wearing them here in a straight line, but you can just place them randomly (like bubbles), or cover your entire nail with them (for extra sparkle).

Here's what you get when you buy this, told you it's a lot of product. I like to play with it, it looks a tiny pot of gold!

The polish I'm wearing is by dm's brand S-he stylezone, shade 312, you can check it out on this LINK

*KKCenterHk has sent me this product for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.

Perfect Zombie Green

Happy Monday! I'm wearing a gorgeous mossy-green shade. When I put it on, I thought it was really the color of zombie's faces. So, yeah, it's great for Halloween. It's by dm's own brand, S-he stylezone, shade 312 (121/312). I got this polish a few months back because it was on discount, and I'm loving it. I'm wearing two coats because the texture is quite watery. It did not stain my nails. It dried super fast. Once it was dry, it had a beautiful smooth texture. The brush is a bit weird, but I was able to work with it. Recommendation: file the surface of your nails before application because, like I said, this polish is watery, so you want a perfect canvas.

Upgraded look will be up tomorrow ;) See you then. Don't forget to follow me - all the links are to the right.

Welcome Back to Wicked 3!

You've had the weekend away ....

Catrice Matt About Pink Lipstick Review

Happy Friday! Today I'll talk about a lipstick that's an absolute favorite of mine. It's Catrice's ULTIMATE Colour 250 Matt About Pink. Yes, it's a matte shade. Great texture. The color is what sold me. It's a bright coral-pink shade. Yes it is more of a 'summer shade', but I don't care, I'll wear it all the time. This baby is miles away from the horror that is the beautyUK matte lipstick I wrote about recently - Matt About Pink will give you no problems with the application, it just glides on smoothly, doesn't leave little parts of product everywhere. You have to love it. Catrice lipsticks have very sturdy packaging. This baby was super cheap (33kn I think), and so worth the money. This is one of my favorite Catrice products yet. You know that feeling when you fall in love with a lipstick? LOL Well that's how I feel.
***I have since written a Catrice matte lipsticks comparison post - the link is HERE.

Do you have this lipstick? Catrice has three matte lipsticks in their range, and I think I might pick them all up. A girl needs lipstick, right? ;) What do you think about Catrice matte lipsticks?

Wicked Day 2 - Guest Becki's Wicked 3 Hop Stop

Happy Halloween, everyone! 

 This is my very first Blog Hop, and 

I hope it is just the first of many!  

I am so happy to be participating in this Blog Hop 

hosted by Madame Samm and cheerleader, Wendy.  

Thanks to both of them for getting every little Wicked thing together!!!  

Please be sure to visit all the other bloggers today 

and each day until the witching hour.  

Today’s bloggers are—

Becki (that’s me!)

My Quilting Journey

The Recipe Bunny

I hope you like the little Trick or Treat bag I made 

for my youngest granddaughter, Samantha.  

I didn't use a pattern, I just made it up. 

There is straight-line quilting, and I used webbing left over from 

another project for the handles.  The fabric for the outside is by Tim Coffey for Springs Creative Products Group, LLC, and the lining is “Gone Haunting” by Sue Zapkion for Clothworks.

Next, I made this Halloween wall hanging from a kit I purchased several years ago from Quilter’s Gallery .  The pattern is from Pacific Rim, and it is called (interestingly enough) Halloween!!!  A friend gave me her assistance as this was the first machine applique I've EVER done!!!  I hope you like it.

The backing fabric is cute little mice scurrying all over the place. 

There was no name on the selvage, just “Blank Fabric”.  

Lastly, being from the home of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, I thought a Halloween pin cushion was called for.  This little cutie is made of felt and embroidery floss.  

Doesn't it make you hungry?

Thanks for sticking with me through this post.  Thanks again to Madame Samm and Wendy.  Don’t forget to visit the other bloggers for all their wickedness.  Happy Haunting!!!

Becki

Wonderful post .... Thank you for sharing Becki ...

 to everyone hopping through ...
wicked wishes until tomorrow!
