The Halloween from Hell

Halloween 2021 was supposed to be my great comeback with tons of prepwork completed to my house to get it back in shape for company.  Instead, it was a lame and pitiful showing of last minute "throw it out in the yard" BS, with no party despite all my hard work, and the entire month of October was just a giant cesspool of depression.

Halloween 2022 WILL be the year.  It WILL, not matter what.  I NEED this.

The display for this year can be found here:

The Dead End 2021, I hope

 Spent the day working on the rough draft for my party invitations for this year.  Unfortunately, I had to scrap my original plan of voodoo dolls/poppets because I ran out of patience and mojo for making those incredibly time-consuming and tedious monstrosities.  Instead, I am revamping a previous version of an invite I've done before.  It's one of my favorites, fun to make, and most of the people we will be inviting this year have never seen them, so it will be fresh for them.  

The computer part of this is the worst.  I hate being stuck on the computer.



Most of the planned house projects and repairs are nearing completion soon, so I can get rolling in earnest on Halloween fun.

What to do when you have to stay off your feet?


Arts & "crafts" for the win!  

Managed to injure my foot doing yard work a couple of weekends ago, and it's steadily gotten worse, so this weekend (my weekends are currently 3 days long) I decided to work on some prototypes for this year's shenanigans.  Wrapping wooden beads is hard.  That is all.
