Goth Baby Clothes

     Once again I apologize for not keeping up on this blog. 2016 brought on many life changes for me. I haven't really been able to go thrifting and Halloween Clearance was scarce this year. But the subject of this particular blog entry is Goth Baby Clothes. Because, well I'm 5 months (23 weeks) pregnant with a little beastie (boy)! As I said, lots of changes. And of course I want to pass on my love for all that is dark, spooky, creepy and Halloweeny to my little boy. Upon researching Goth baby clothes, I found out, they are not cheap. Fortunately Walmart sells black baby onesies for cheap so I'm going to make my own by painting cute and creepy goth baby designs on them. Here are a few ideas I started sketching out.

So now that a few things have changed in my life I am even more of a Goth on a Budget than before...that budget currently being zero. As frustrating as that is, I find ways to make my own fun like going to the library and finding awesome creepy books and movies! Here is a copy of a pamphlet my library had on horror selections available. I thought it would be cool to post and share with others. It's good, free creepy fun for all you gouls and beasties!

Goth on a Budget get's free room decor!

What's the next best thing to getting gothy stuff for cheap? Getting it free! Fortunately I was able to acquire 4 wonderful goth decor items from friends. If you have friends who want to give things away, hey, take them! Especially if it's Halloween stuff (which I will be on the lookout for this spring and summer during garage sales.) Here are the items I received.

Hello Gouls & Beasties!
 
       I still do exist! Just been, I admit, extremely lazy about updating this vlog. I have been elsewhere, YouTube-ing and Tumblr-ing.

DIY is Perfect for a Goth on a Budget

Happy October!!!

If you're like me...you're broke a lot of the time. Sometimes it gets me down but other times it get's me inspired. If I can't afford what I want, I see if I am able to make it myself. I've recently been in a huge DIY mood! There are so many wonderful gothy and Halloween things out there to purchase! Unfortunately purchasing is not in my realm of things I can do right now! So when all else fails, or in this case when you're penniless, Do it Yourself!! Grab your tape, scissors, glue, scraps of material, sewing box, etc and let your creative juices flow!

Here are some DIY projects I've made recently

Paper Candle Lanterns: Drawn, with a flame-less tea light inside

These one's are Print Outs

Made these bottles last year

Printed out labels on the computer, used bottles and jars from home and put water and food coloring in them

Baby Fester! He only cost me 75 cents to make! Goth on a Budget Score!

Hooray for Fall!

It's the most wonderful time...of the year!!

Not only is fall approaching with it's glorious and gloomy overcast, days, but Halloween stuff is coming to stores! You know what that means! It's that magical time of year that every goth dreams about where you can find all the spooky, creepy home decor items that you love for your every day needs! No one else but us get's that. So here's to all you Halloween loving people and those who love creepy things. This...is OUR time.

Dreaming of Halloween *sigh*

Here are just a few of the things I've found in stores so far. I know it's early yet, but never too early for me when it comes to Halloween.

The first Halloween items spotted this year at Big Lots. I gasped and stopped in my tracks.

Even grocery stores are getting into the spirit. These cuties are found at Safeway.

These carriages are fit for a Halloween Princess! (Safeway)

Fun stuff discovered at Winco

Good old Value Village is can always be expected to be ripe with Halloween Galore!

 

Michael's has some AMAZING things this year.

Joann's has a beautiful selection of Halloween socks!

It's still early yet, there are many stores left to explore and so many that haven't put out there Halloween stuff yet. So I'm quite excited to see what's in store this year for my creepy little heart to jump with glee!

Can't afford all the beautiful creepy, spectacular stuff in stores?

It's ok, I'm right there with ya. There are SO many things I'd love to get this time of year, especially a lot of the lovelies found at Michael's that can get pretty pricey. But alas that's why I take so many photo's, because if I can't have it, at least I can have a picture of it. There are always thrift stores, dollar stores, perhaps a few lingering garage sales and other discount stores where you can find affordable, lovely Halloween items to tickle your dark little heart. And remember...there's always Halloween Clearance!!! So don't fret little Goth on a Budget, there's Halloween fun available for all, you just have to know where to look and keep your eyes open for those diamond in the rough thrift finds!

I'll be back again, with more lovely finds and photos of Harvest and Halloween haunts as well as some of the fun finds I find along the way. Feel free to comment and share any tips on saving money this time of year or stores that are starting to put out their Halloween merchandise. I'd love to hear them!

Halloween Blues & New Hair Color

  I am truly jonesing for Halloween!! *cries* It seems other states have stores that I don't have here that are starting to sell Halloween items early (no fair) lol Alas I must wait until the balmy, awful days of summer end and we roll into the glorious days of autumn.

 

    On the lighter side, I've colored my hair again! Yay! Here's how it looks.
