We’ve all seen the movie Carrie, right? The iconic scene of Carrie having blood dumped on her at the prom? If you haven’t then you probably don’t belong on this website and should go back to searching for summer clothes on JCrew. Carrie is like no other horror movie I’ve ever seen. Many movies tried to copy the idea with similar story lines, but none came close to the feelings you have while watching this. A reader sent me a link to a shop on Etsy called Croshame. This woman crochets adorable little scary figures. Some are depictions of scenes from horror movies like The Exorcist and Carrie (pictured) while others are just from her twisted mind. They are a little pricey, but they are very unique. You are never going to find them somewhere else and they are all handmade to order. The trouble comes when you have to decide which one you can’t live without.
*Thanks Rosenz for the link!

I have never and will never hide my hatred of live spiders. I love fake ones though and have them all over the house in surprising places. Once in a while I catch a real one and throw it right outside on its butt. I don’t like killing them, I just don’t want them in my house. I really like this Spider Crossing sign, but I have no idea what I’d do with it since I don’t allow them in the house. It would seem kind of stupid to hang up a Spider Crossing sign when there should not be any there to begin with. I would prefer a NO Spider Crossing sign personally.

I don’t know about you, but I love weird sunglasses. I’m not talking about the stupid ones where the eyes are shaped like a beer mug or a peace sign. I mean the unusual ones like these great Cat’s Eye Glasses from Victorian Trading Co. Technically they are “Costume Eyewear”, but that never stops me from wearing them in the evening around town. Just don’t count on them protecting you during the day from that blazing sun. You’ll still burn to a crisp, but the upside will be that you’ll look cool doing it.

If you have been diligently reading my blog (you better be) you would know that I just love to piss off my neighbors. I know, not very neighborly, but oh so much fun. Besides, it seems like it has become sort of a running joke in the neighborhood. What will Jane do next? Most of them get a good laugh out of it since we do take good care of our yard, but there are a few that are not so thrilled. That’s mainly why I do it. If they laughed and enjoyed it I’d get bored.
Everyone has seen the pink yard flamingos and a few have even seen the skeleton flamingos, but now a couple of artists selling under the name Chris and Janes Place on Etsy have come up with their own twist. Zombie Gnomes feeding on one of those oh so tacky pink flamingos. They are hand casted, hand painted and sell for $55. They have been getting so many orders for these that they are a little behind in production, but so worth the wait. I am so excited to get mine. Now I just need to think of a great way to reveal it to the neighbors

wreath — jane @ 11:20 pm
I happen to live in a neighborhood where everyone is very uptight, but think they’re cool. Those are the worst kind. My family stands out, needless to say, and I have no problem with that. At least we have a sense of humor and don’t call the police every time an African American chooses to walk down our street. Pretty much every house has some cutesy wreath on the door. You know the ones I’m talking about. There is the dried flower ones, plastic flower ones, the weird ones made out of different colored balls, the branch ones etc. I personally hate them and refuse to ever put one on my door. It’s so suburban and just drives me crazy. I have a black feather one that I put on my door once, but it was almost too pretty so I took it down. Today I ordered one that I might actually put on my door with pride. This Snake Wreath with the great Medusa vibe is meant as a Halloween decoration. I hope at $29 that it actually looks good, but we’ll see. I’ll probably remove the sound/vibrating box as I want this as a year round decoration. I can’t wait for everyone to see it. I just love to piss off my neighbors. Is that wrong?

Scary Jane — jane @ 12:10 am
Stopped into Barnes and Noble today to see if they had put their scary stuff out yet. They had put some out, but it looked like they were still in the process. I stopped into the bargain isles and found this little Eerie Origami kit. I’m not a particular fan of origami. It’s not that I don’t think it’s cute, I just find it irritating and kind of a waste. Let me explain. First of all I have absolutely no patience for it. I have tried and tried to do it, but it rarely comes out right. I learned how to make a ball when I was just tiny Scary Jane and I can still do that. I pull that one out anytime I feel the need to impress someone with my folding skills. My aunt always and I do mean always would make an origami thing out of her napkin. I’m not sure what it was. It looked like a boat, but also looked like a flower. A long time ago I was very determined to make an origami flower. It took me forever. I don’t think the instructions are ever very clear. I finally finished it and was quite proud until seconds later my new kitten at the time (that’s Lucy, who just passed away… for the people who actually read my posts) grabbed it off the table and ran. I was finally able to save it from her only to find that in less than a minute she had destroyed it. That’s what I mean by a waste. In other words a f***ing waste of time. This origami kit looks really cute, but I have way better things to do with my time then sitting around folding paper. I still have the origami ball that I can pull out anytime and that’s enough for me.

Okay, I know I claim to love all things Halloween and most of the time I do. I really have a hard time during the Halloween season. I usually want to buy just about everything I see. However, that was not the case today when I saw this Cat Spatula at Crate and Barrel. I guess it’s cute, but I think they’ve gone a little too far with the Halloween themed items. I mean, come on you might as well go all the way and have Halloween themed baby wipes or even a Halloween themed power strip. No one is going to see this spatula, but the person who’s baking something and the inside of the dishwasher. The pattern is not even on the handle part. It’s just a tiny cat on the tip of the plastic part. Come on you product developing ass wipes! Nothing wrong with some creativity, but at least use your brain. Does the world really need Halloween themed foot powder?

Okay, I know I said I was done with the sappy stuff, but I just have to sneak in another post. We were forced to put our poor little Lucy to sleep since she was in so much pain. The vet tried everything, but she was just to far along. We will miss her dearly. Not being one to sit around without multiple cats in the house, I insisted that we go and pick out a new kitten at the Humane Society. Scary Hubby had a hard time with this one. Lucy was our first baby that we got together when we were just dating, so she meant a lot to us. Scary Hubby was very attached to her and so was I. I just like to move on quicker. I know a kitten will take our minds off Lucy. Plus we had Morticia and it would be nice for her to grow up with another kitten. We had every intention of getting a Gomez for our Morticia, but the boys were all so wild. I really wanted a snuggle cat and we all fell in love with this little black and white girl. Well, we couldn’t name her Gomez, so I came up with Ophelia. If you remember, Ophelia was Morticia’s sister in the original Addams Family TV show from the 60s’. She was the goofy reverse version of Morticia and I always liked her. So, please welcome little Ophelia into the Scary Jane family.

soft — jane @ 12:28 am
As you should know by now, if you’ve been reading my posts, I have lost 2 cats in the last year. Well, now my third cat, Lucy, has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and cancer of the spleen. Apparently that cancer is very rare in cats. Anyway, sadly it’s not looking good for my baby girl. She’s 13 years old and she’s had a pretty comfy life, but she’s the last of our cats. Super sweet and the softest cat I’ve ever known. We called her Lucy Bunny because her fur felt more like bunny fur. That’s her on the far right during happier times. Just last week before all of this came up we got a new little kitten. Scary Daughter’s cat, Edgar, had died this summer and we had promised a new kitty before school started. She is 2 months old and all black of course. We named her Morticia since we are all huge fans of the The Addams Family and she reminded us of her. That’s little Morticia lying next to the red pillow. So please welcome her to the Scary Family. Now that it looks like Lucy will be passing on, we will get another kitten after that. We have our hearts set on a boy so we can name him Gomez! It’s horrible losing a pet, let alone 3 in a year and half, but that’s what you sign up for when you get a pet. Sadly, they don’t live forever, but they do remain in our hearts forever. Okay, now that the sappy crap is done, lets move on!
