Projects Galore

I think my Halloween countdown ticker is broken.  It says there's only 96 days left till Halloween.  Wait... what's that???  It's not broken?  Hmph.  I guess this means I need to kick things into ludicrous speed.

Since work is slooowww today, I'm frantically scribbling schematics on post-it notes and texting pictures of them to my hubby.  Poor thing is probably so tired of my pestering, but I'm getting antsy and I need some large projects done this year.  Here's what's on the agenda:

The Raven Reaper - I've got a good start on him, but there's still so much to do.  Wings need to be completed, a frame needs to be designed and built, a cloak needs to be designed and created and he needs some sort of scythe. 

Crypt Over-haul - I was really happy with our crypt the past two years.  I love the design, but it was built and then re-built in haste, so it was not efficient to put together.  Also, the wood started buckling and the pieces weren't fitting together so well anymore.  We pitched a lot of it last year when we tore it down, so, this is one project that must get done.

Tombstones - A yard haunt can never have too many :)  I'm looking for new designs and sizes.  I found a bunch of neat ones on line today and I already have names to put on them.  Just need to get MORE foam.

Entryway and Sign - This is not something that is vital, but we feel that it's time to upgrade.  The old 2nd Street Cemetery sign was the first thing that I ever carved out of foam... and it was that white pilly stuff. YUCK.  My technique has come a LONG way since then and I have access to better building material, so I want another shot at it :)  The Count is not happy with our old arbor that we currently use as an entryway/gate to the cemetery.  So, his ambition is to build something more suiting. 

YIKES. Ambitious?  Sure.  Impossible?  NAHHHHH! (At least, I hope not)

Oh, you want more?  Well, here ya go:

EXTRA PROJECTS:

Ground Breaking Crypt: The Count came up with this one.  He wants it to go in our ditch. 

New Stained Glass Windows: I'm ready for a new design. I think that I found one that will make rectangle windows look more like Gothic stained glass windows.  I know this project is tedious, but it is a tremendous effect in the cemetery.

Lady Ghost: She was going to be our Pepper's ghost last year, but it was a very last minute project. There's not much to do to her, so I want to get her completed and out in the yard. 

Ok, that's it, I think... geez.  Did I mention that we're having our 5th Wedding Anniversary party in the middle of all of this??? Which also includes a formal photo shoot in our cemetery, in our "Newly Dead" attire?  HAHAHAHAHA (manic laugh).  Yes, I've lost it :)

Oh well, at least I won't be bored for the next 96 days :)
