On 2 November 1755 The Queen-Empress was in labour all day with her 15th child. Since the experience of childbirth was no novelty, and since Maria Theresa, Queen of Hungary by inheritance, Empress of the Holy Roman Empire by marriage, hated to waste time, she also laboured in another way at her papers. For the responsibilities of government were not to be lightly cast aside; in her own words: ‘My subjects are my first children’. Finally, at about 8:30 in the evening in her apartments at the Hofburg palace in Vienna, Maria Theresa gave birth. It was a girl. Or, as the court Chamberlain, Count Khevenhüller, described the event in his diary: ‘Her Majesty has been happily delivered of a small, but completely healthy Archduchess.’ As soon as was practical, Maria Theresa returned to work, signing papers from her bed.

Los Angeles-based artist and baker Christine McConnell (previously featured here) just finished decorating her parents’ house for Halloween. What was once a charming and inviting home has now been transformed into a spooktacularly awesome Monster House! McConnell cut and painted foam-core insulation board to make the monstrous eyes and vicious pointy teeth.
The house looks even more incredible at night when it’s lit by an eerie green light and there’s smoke pouring out of the ferocious mouth.

But no matter whether it’s day or night, never turn your back on this house. Approach slowly, trick-or-treat, and then carefully back away…
