If you are like me and LOVE to cut stuff up can you think of a better costume than Edward Scissorhands? Over at Oriental Trading Company they have what they call a Miss Scissorhands costume and I just had to give it a test drive before Halloween. I had never worn a wig so I got a bit of help putting it on and styling it. I had a lot of fun in this costume and I am looking forward to wearing it for Halloween. Since it’s stretch fabric and all one piece it was easy to get into. I slipped it on before we put the wig on. The scissor gloves are fun to play with. The leggings I had already cut up-imagine that? 🙂 What are you working on for your Halloween costume?

Book Review: Upcycle – Transform Everyday Objects into Stylish Sustainable Home Decor
If you’re passionate about upcycled home decor, eco-friendly crafts, or simply love giving old items a new life, Upcycle: 24 Sustainable DIY Projects to Turn Everyday Objects into Home Decor is a book that’s sure to spark your creativity.
This beautifully designed book is a treasure trove of clever ideas for turning the mundane into the magical. From old T-shirts and tin cans to wooden crates and glass bottles, Upcycle offers 24 hands-on projects that are equal parts stylish and sustainable. Whether you’re a seasoned maker or just starting your upcycling journey, the instructions are clear, accessible, and often surprisingly simple.
What I love most is that each project doesn’t feel like a “craft”—it feels like decor you’d proudly display in any modern home. Think chic recycled storage solutions, creative lighting with a handmade twist, and even repurposed wall art that doesn’t scream DIY. The photography is gorgeous, making this book just as inspiring as it is instructional.
It’s a great resource for zero-waste living, creative reuse, and recycled crafts for the home—perfect for crafters who want to make a positive environmental impact without sacrificing style. Plus, most of the materials can be found right at home or sourced for free, making it a budget-friendly way to refresh your space.
If you’ve ever looked at an empty jar or an old ladder and thought, “What could I make with this?”—this book will give you the answers.
Upcycle is perfect for anyone looking to reduce waste while creating beautiful, functional items. It’s ideal for eco-conscious decorators, DIY enthusiasts, and creative souls who love a good before-and-after. If you’re on the hunt for inspiring sustainable crafting projects, this book is definitely worth a spot on your shelf (or coffee table!).
I really haven’t made up my mind yet. Maybe The Queen of Hearts from Through the Looking Glass.
