It seems like an age since I have been able to to focus on Halloween and the forum.

So, whats been happening in my world ??

Well first of all my wife decided she wanted the spare room back as a spare bedroom. So my stepson and I have had to clear out what we had in there and minimalize. Unfortunately this was used as my workroom

So all my craft materials are now confined to a storage cupboard.

So did this take that long to do ? No...

Subtitled "the ramblings of an halloween haunter"

Actually I have two projects in mind, one being a revamp of my Scarecrow and a new coffin dweller. At present my dweller is made up of a Dollar Tree Mask and packing peanut hands, which don't cut it anymore.

So, I will be working on some skeleton parts.

I have plenty of foam skulls so don't need to worry about any skull casting.

The hands of the scarecrow will come from last year's...

Well, I found a problem with my tombstone how to.

I have been working on my latest stone, I had the design worked out, had that all masked up.

For the lettering on the name, I printed out the name in a large font, cut out the letters and placed them in position on the tomb.

The rest of the lettering was put in place.

I was quite happy with the look of the design, etc, so proceeded to the next step.

Now let this be a word...
