Have you ever accidentally made a cursed object? 👀👀👀👀👀
Yes and we should make more. 😊
ROTFLMAO! 🤣 What's Halloween without a cursed item or two. 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
If you count sewing and knitting projects that don't work out to the point that they'll never be finished, then a resounding "yes". At least the knitting projects can be ripped and the yarn re-used.
No, but when I struggle with a particular craft or article of clothing, curses (rather than my own inadequacies) can fly through my brain sometimes escaping through mouth😉.
My middle daughter had me buy a doll blank which she lost interest in before it showed up. I finally put eyes in her, and bought her a beautiful red wig. She is CREEPY AF!!! I am as kind to her as I can be. I think she might be less creepy if she had her makeup done. . . I don't know how to do that. So, here we are.
Just watched Morgan Donner ask Nicole Rudolph for help with her jacket, I've seen Rachel Maksy get tutoring from Abby for her sewing, and now Abby is channeling Rachel for some fun craft time. Full circle yet?
Morgan could have asked Abby for tips on darkening her straw hat. 😆
Shhh, don't give away the Coven's secrets !
Rachel Maksy cuts her hair to be short and curly, Abby starts making pumpkin theme decorations... Guys they are Merging into one!!!
🤣
Yup. Morgan started playing with 1900s fashion mashups, Bernadette did risqué ankle pics, Rachel's hair saga, Abby's pumpkins...the world is changing, and I am HERE FOR IT!
I’m loving this segment of humanity. 😊
For us old orphaned Mamas .... they are so fun and inspiring to see & watch grow!! Love them both to the max!!! Talented in their own rights!!! I smell collab book deal or something together along the way ... short term, long term.... whatever it is, they'd rock it!!
@@valariebrown3768 A-Woman!!! Me too!!!
Quote of the Day: “This is not a tutorial, this is chaotic crafting. This could be a total absolute s**tshow.”
I need that on a shirt
I live in this weird space where I love vintage/antique Halloween decorations but the older they are the more they legit freak me out. I dream of having a china cabinet filled with curiosities and old Halloween tchotchkes but I don’t want to scare MYSELF, right? 😂
Im 100% with you. Xx
Vintage stuff has a fine line between decor and nightmare fuel.
Hey, if it's a locking cabinet and you always wear the key on a chain around your neck…
There are some really wild photos of old victorian costumes
"disabling perfectionism" LOVE IT!! Eh, if they creep you out, then make a creep out spot in your home decor. Or put them on the porch, then they can creep out the neighbors. :)
@Odontecete - I went through the same paralyzing thing. I called myself a "failed perfectionist". It was horrible. A wonderful therapist and the appropriate prescription medication helped me get out of that pit. It took a while, though.
I am anticipating we are also going to see these in Rachel Maksey's house soon as it's fall decor AND Over the Garden Wall. I am not mad about it, though, as they are adorable.
So proud of you for going to therapy! Taking that first step, admitting that you need help is always the hardest part. Love these adorable and cursed lads
@ghostmistwho - Hear! Hear! All thumbs way up.
let's say these pumpkins are cursed in a way that they've absorbed your burn-out and frustration and cleaned your own energy :P I hope you feel better now, and I alays appreciate your content and work you put into it
I like this. Crafting as exorcism!
Good point!
Love this!!! 💜
The best part about the Arts is that if you mess up big time, you can always say that you broke new ground. Or broke new ‘gourd’! (Thank you, Kayla and Emily)
I like to say that I was just experimenting. Which is what I think defines art, anyway.
A new gourd if you will
I misread this as "broke new gourd" 😂
Rachel routinely makes cursed stuff! That’s the joys of crafting. You never know what is going to possess your creations.
This was too much fun! At first we were giggling at the idea of making cursed objects with Mod Podge and acrylic paint, but it's October, so maybe we shouldn't be laughing! We think you got great results with these easily obtained, affordable supplies. For a more durable upgrade, we think Utrecht Acrylic Modeling Paste would better ensure a lasting project, and these cursed Jack O' Lanterns could be on their way to a shelf in Vendredi's Antiques!
I thought they came out cute! Hope that helped you get calmer to complete the sewing you need to do for the trip! Hang in there!
I originally thought this was a Rachel Maksy video but then I saw Abby in the thumbnail and was confused haha BUT! I would love to see more craft videos from Abby because it was fun and a nice change for both her and us viewers :)
I feel your vibes Abby. This has the same manic energy I had last week when I announced on Wednesday that I was making a skirt to wear to a football game Saturday…and we were leaving the house first thing on Friday. The hem was chaos-sewn in the car on the way to the game. For the record, I am a quilter, and just starting to make clothes. The inside was a hot mess, but I kept thinking about all your preserved clothing and the messy insides and kept sewing. 😂
The whole "the house feels happy now" vibes reminds me of Farmhouse Vernacular and her house telling her how he wants to be decorated💚💚💚
We all need self-care days. Mine include streaming all the Harry Potter movies and adult beverages. The pumpkins are too cute! I love them! ❤️
Oooh now that is an idea I could get behind, by adult beverages, you mean ice cream? Right? 😜
That's often my self care regime too
@@felicitygee381 - Milk shakes!
Perfect with förbannade pumpor (cursed pumpkins but also enraged pumpkins, in Swedish) for halloween!
🎃
I call that as a Band Name !
🎶All the floors are beige, and the walls are gray🎶But seriously, it's great that you're getting your house the way you want it. Gray is sometimes a good base coat for your favorite color.
Let's all support Abby as she de-cheugs this lovely house! I think they came out great!!
They’re cute! You can always put them on the porch if you don’t like them in the house. Also, for the eggs, you can use real egg shells by piercing the shells with a needle and blowing out the contents (then make some omelets). I only ever had one set of Easter eggs as a kid, we did this once, decorated the eggs, and they lasted for years.
Also, it says a lot about regional differences that the wildest part of this video for me was all of the plastic bags! I haven’t seen a plastic bag outside of food delivery in years, they aren’t legal where I live.
Ooh, where is that?
That is amazing! I wish we got rid of plastic bags here
@@felicitygee381 - We in New York State are plastic shopping bag free. Take out restaurants still get to dispense them, unfortunately. We just have to remember to bring enough reusable bags with us to the stores.
I hope that crafty time accomplished its purpose of a needed break. I plan on copying the idea when I need to take a break. I love the pumpkins.
All of my costubers are bugging about this cruise! I'm excited to see y'all when you actually get there and can relax and enjoy all of the amazing things you have created!
The pressure on the crew of that cruise ship to get them all back in one piece……..
RUclips would surely go out of business if it lost that many costubers……..
This is literally how all of my stuff turns out. I follow 98% of the tutorial with just a few customisation, and then I’m like…I don’t know if I like this or not.
I think something that often goes unaddressed in the whole "content creator burnout" conversation is the lack of colleagues. My hubby started his own business a couple of years ago and he really struggles with working alone.
Abby you talking about your move to be closer to family is so similar to what I've been going through! I moved from CO to MO and the politics are starkly different 👀... I also really miss my CO friends, but I'm so much happier mental health wise with a better support system in place. Just saying that what you're feeling is super valid and you're not alone! May we both have continued happiness in our new locations 🥰🥰🥰
i love the cursed pumpkins! this was a really fun video, don't hesitate to do more chaotic crafts when you need a need a break from sewing!
I love the spooky cursed pumpkins. They look really beautiful when lit.
Rachel Maksy will agree that some of her stuff is *cursed* too, but its part of the charm, part of the vibe, part of that good good spooky life
I don't have words for how much I love these cursed little friends
I’M SO GLAD you’re in therapy!!! Meds are shameless/neutral but can be REALLY helpful! I’m glad you’re doing self care! 🥰🤟❤️
I'm glad the algorithm has finally figured out that I like my crafts to be exactly 50% cursed and 50% blessed.
Congratulations you have made something that will haunt my nightmares. Very over the garden wall vibes. You have successed!
Well this hit the nail on the head for migraine friendly cursed content thank you lovely Abby sorry you’re feeling so burnout you’re wonderful.
Love this segment of Cursed Crafts! I’d watch more of this for sure 😊
They are cute, not cursed. I hope they make a return appearance next October.
Stopping at 9:19 to suggest renting all the holiday stuff. A wedding/party rental place will have everything - furniture, table linens, dishes, serving stuff. Might be pricey for one day but handier than rushing your actual furniture shopping. Good luck. Can't wait to see the finished pumpkins!
totally hear you on the happy house vibes. our folk Victorian was used as a personal care home for 10 years before we bought it, and was really run down by then. The first party we had here I totally said the house sings when we have guests over and the house is all clean and bright and all... Only to have one of my guests confirm that the spirit of the daughter of the original builder was there and very happy about what we'd done with the house so far. So, yes, house's totally have thoughts and feelings :)
I find it incredibly refreshing to see someone doing something they aren't amazing at. It's really nice to be reminded that you can't expect yourself to be perfect at everything
I think Abby got the right balance of quirky and slightly disturbing. Great job! I’m all for the productive procrastination detour when you need one.
Imperfect crafting is the only crafting I can do, and I'm all about Fall and struggling this year. I suspect many of us can relate to this video much more than the upcoming cruise videos (although I will absolutely be there for every one of those as well!)
Definitely got the Rachael makes crossover vibes. The farmers hat came out excellently. The nest hat fails my vibe test but we work with what we have and say good enough or nothing ever gets completed. I like them.
All the plastic bags hurt my little environmental heart.
I enjoyed watching how they came out! Cursed objects are always more interesting 😉 I'm always down to watch more of your craft/non-sewing videos if you need more self-care days 💛💕
Same here!!
I totally get procrftination. I’m glad your house feels happier with color. I think mine does too. I like the cursed things. They’re creepy cute.
I love it! They look like a creepy pumpkins from old victorian Halloween cards!
I'm the same way when I craft. "This is hot garbage, but I had fun" is my mantra the whole time! Love your videos!!
Oh these turned out really good! You're too hard on yourself! And they def give off the Over The Garden Wall vibe! Might have to do some procraftination myself.
Omg Procraftsination is SUCH A PERFECT TERM THANK YOU
It's fun to see that even an accomplished crafter can have things not turn out how they were envisioned. More power to you, Abby! I'm glad the house is feeling happier too.
Am I weird for loving them? I think they are perfect creepy halloween. :P
I'm here for the cursed mid west vibes! I'm originally from MO and I love cabbage lol and I've lived around the world at this point and people think we're strange. 😅
‘Procraftination’ is great but have you heard of ‘Craftivism’ and have you tried it?
👍👍I'm glad your house is feeling happier, it's good to know you're doing ok 👍
The pumpkins came out adorable 😁!
Love Procraftination.
I love mental health crafting and I am all about procraftinating. Good for you taking care of your health and not shaming yourself for stepping away from something.
You know it’s not just a romp when you have Nitrile Gloves. Momma means business 🔥
These little pumpkin-people heads are equal parts terrifying and adorable and I absolutely love them.
To be fair pumpkins are very hard to make non creepy! I think they turned out cute! Loved the creative chaos in this video, definitely more please!
The return of the Oversized Animal Print Glasses. It’s iconic.
Had to steal that definition and share it with my friends on FB. Thank you.
Somewhere in Massachusetts, Rachel Maksy just sat bolt upright, sniffed the air, and whispered "Someone, somewhere, is WEATHERING"
I like creating Halloween artifacts with deviations such as skipping a step that says: "smooth down surface" or "wait 20 minutes before applying the next layer". The surprise (as when I reread/view the instructions) can result in a quite scary, unique piece of Halloween decor. My advice, follow your own muse as long as you wear protective eyewear, gloves and do the work in well-ventilated area. Also I find my animal roomies do not try "to assist" with my work, if I resemble Dr. Frankenstein and smell like adhesive.
no no no you absolutely nailed it, these are 100% what wirt and greg saw in pottsfield
I feel like all the videos this year are a strange RUclips mirror of my experience with depression and I both feel terrible for Abby and so seen/valid at the same time. 💛 It's very weird but I'm glad it's here too?
This went a strange direction, but I'm just happy this whole channel exists.
They turned out so cute! Very creepy/cute vintage feel!
Those are creepy cute! Vintage Halloween is my jam, so naturally I'm in love! Modern Farmhouse decor is the scourge of real estate Country wide! Finding home decor that's not grey or white is practically impossible. I went with dark emerald green walls to make the natural woodwork in my home pop. White washed it out. Decorating a new space is so enjoyable. Have a great time with your new home. Thanks for the great video!
"I miss Mill End." Looooove Mill End. I've been getting fabric there since the 1980s. 💕
Making the house happy with new rugs I totally get. Same thing happened to me this weekend when o bought two paintings for my bedroom. Is any one else going to see them?… no. But waking up to them each morning will make *me* happy everyday!
those pumpinks are the PERFECT amount of creepy and I love them. i wouldn't have them in any other shape
I love them! I think that’s exactly how they should look! It’s art it is it’s own creation. Everyone ‘s version will be slightly different. I think because it’s unsettling to look at is the point…so mission accomplished!! ❤🎃
As someone who lives in Vegas, thank you for acknowledging Nevada has really awful sourcing for vintage and antiquing. I have been super **super** lucky with some things - like, my living room set is from Craigslist (it's from like, the 50s), as well as a vanity. I've also gotten a couple of second hand items from Facebook Marketplace but special curation and hunting on Etsy has been my saving grace. I also am working on a lot of house renovations (new flooring, baseboard and now painting). I grew up in Mass, and part of me sometimes wants to go back and visit, rent like a POD, and fill it with things to finish my house.
I'm so glad you took this moment. The difference is most evident between stressed crafty Abby and Adorable Hobbit Abby. I love them both equally!
hope for 2023
y'all take care of yourselves
even if you only do a lil something. you did something.
First off, thank you for being vulnerable with us. You are AWESOME and need self-care/me-time. Nice shout-out to Rachael. Honestly, they look super cute and very 19-teens. I hope you have enough done to be able to relax on Mr. Wellington's cruse.
5:34 😂 I garden prolifically; so feeling this.
This video was deliciously fun. As much as I enjoy the sewing videos, it's always fun to see happy experiment with other things.
Creepy and cute!
Btw, if anyone is interested in how to craft some eggs: just use real eggs, poke a small hole in the top and bottom with a needle and blow the insides out! Sounds a bit weird, but it works pretty good and results in scrambled eggs and empty eggshells.
They are very vintage Halloween aka terrifying. I love them! You need to do more craft time with Abby.
Abyy, thank you so much for showing us the process of making these. They're terrifying and I love it
I seem to remember Rachel calling her first iteration of the paper mache pumpkin head lady cursed.
I find yours eerily charming, Abby. I actually find assurance & enlivenment seeing you work your way through an artform you are less familiar with. And, I do enjoy watching people craft
Despite you feeling very upset with how your sewing is going, you managed to take a little "rest", and make a charming video.
This is delightful
I'm here for the cursed pumpkin heads
Something my counselor pointed out to me: procrastinating with fun activities isn't really self care because it just means I'm pushing the thing I need to be doing further down the road, where I'll have less time to accomplish it, which will just increase the stress and anxiety in the end. When I catch myself procraftinating now, I pull up the project I need to finish and write down the next steps, and make a plan for how I'm going to accomplish the very next one. I've had a lot less anxiety in my life lately!
I think sometimes you need to take a break though! Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself and your serious project is STOP and come back later. I'd imagine what you do in the meantime and for how long depends on how freaked out you were and what the project was. Self-care is tricky! Sometimes what you want and what you need are different, and sometimes what you need is to just do what you want for a while.
Plus, anxiety and depression frequently do not agree on what good self-care looks like 🙃
The girl pumpkin looks so good! Very antique. The boy pumpkin scares me too.
So I was just browsing Joanns patterns for a Halloween costume and found the 18th century stays and dress you posed for, recognized you immediately! Made my day almost as much as the discount I got on my pattern lol
You did a great job and I'm even happier to know that it served as self care and a getaway from your work stress. I am definitely here for whatever crafting goodies or anything else that you enjoy and would want to post about.
You did a great job. Remember that most people who try this will not be able to make it look half as good as you can! I know because I've tried stuff and it never comes out as good, but I still love watching and learning, keep it up, you make us all smile, which is really the most important part of it, isn't it??
They look very rustic and vintage 🎃 It’s good to take a break from sewing, and crafts are the best way!
Chaotic Crafting is the only kind of crafting I can do.
I love how they turned out.
Actually this was a really great vid. Loved the kind of slow crafting, chatting away vibe as if you are just hanging out with friends. As opposed to an overly edited look as if you magically did it all in one go with no messy bits. ❤️
We all know Rachel Makseys over the garden wall pumpkin people heads have been cursed it just seems fitting to have the curse continue 😂😉 I think they are cute though.
Love this! So good to see you taking the time to refresh and recharge! Thank you for sharing and the pumpkins are adorable!
The silly little edits through out this video, like the raining down of regrets, are just perfection!!
They're amazing! Love the different video and fun crafting times!
when I was a wee boy in dark and spookie Scotland along long time ago we had to dig out the in side of a turnip be fore they invented pumkins here,and use a candle to light it oh the smell oh well happy halloween
I think they turned out great! I love the black crow with the green collar too! I bought the same one last month. Now is a great time to mix things up and try different content. Saturn and Uranus are square. I would love to see you do my crafting in addition to your sewing.
They ARE cursed but so fun! Definitely giving OTGW vibes but also kinda "Jack Skellington's idea of child appropriate gifts" vibes. 10/10 would put on my porch to terrify children.
I love that there's an extended Rachel Maksy universe within costube :)
OMG.... cyute!
I love those too much. They look spooky and cursed BUT also happy and playful. Creepy combo 10/10 would be haunted by these.
"Forbidden frosting" 🤣
I love all of this!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who just…is not great at crafting, even tho the process is fun.
The pumpas are legit creepy, but they would be AWESOME outdoor lanterns for Hallowe’en night.
I also recently moved back to the Midwest (west MI) from far away (Nova Scotia). It’s good to be nearer to loved ones again. Very good for my mental health… as is my recent foray into crafty-ness (my therapist advised me to start a bullet journal). Keep taking care of yourself, and bringing joy into your new house! ❤
