Casting Call

It is raining. It has been raining for the past several days. I had pulled out a few projects and started working on them again in hopes of being able to put them right out into the yard when I finished them but it started raining. The one time I quit procrastinating I can't do much because of the rain. At least the campfire is done and two of the ghosts are almost done. I just need to sew their arms into place, maybe even look for some wire to give their arms a better look (maybe not this year, need to leave a little room to improve). Norville has his stand and arms now. I really didn't realize how big he was gonna turn out to be. Now I just need to distress his jacket and make his corn field. Tim still needs his hands. That one is one project that I am a little uneasy about trying to accomplish this year, but I have to do something since I threw out the old hands.

I really wanted to get to work on the lighting this year. I have read from so many different sites that I have major concerns about the amount of light fixtures that I have. This year I am going to mount some of the lights on the side of the house for a more moonlit effect (or at least that is what it is supposed to do). I am hoping that I don't have to buy to many bulbs this year. My Halloween budget is spent and I really don't want to have to ask Pappa Bear for anymore money. To think last year I was bugging over fog machines. I haven't even thought about those this year. OH CRAP!!! I haven't thought about fog machines! I have to make new fog chillers this year. The ones I made last year didn't chill the fog enough, it still floated up, up, and away. I guess I will have to forget fog this year. Not that I used it that much last year anyway. Oh well, I told myself at the beginning of the year I was not going to let things get me frazzled. So what if I don't have fog. I live on a hill and trying to keep fog on the side of a hill is fruitless anyways. Now were are those darn ravens I put in the box!?!
