Alice's Room

The walls are up and painted for the Alice in Wonderland Hookah Caterpillar scene.
We even built a talking flower by modifying a talking ghost prop. Mike I have the Jefferson Airplane song ready to burn to CD but will need you to bring a CD player with you. Your costume is half sewn and I have tried it on to make sure it will be the right size. Our seamstress thinks she can finish it this weekend (10/11) and then I can get it Monday and we will have to stuff the tail. Sunday Jim and I will begin… Continue

Forest

The walls around the gingerbread house have been repainted dark blue to be a night sky and trees have been painted on them.
I have added leaves to our old Harry Potter Tree and Jim and I have half the tree canopy built.
Waiting for payday to buy more materials to complete the rest of the canopy and figure out where to put our lights for that room.
We're thinking of using red and yellow light bulbs so that people can see but we don't want it too bright in there.
Then we move on to the last room.

Half Way Done

The Queen's throne room is done. Grandma's room is done (except for the bed we will place in there a few days before Halloween). The Hansel & Gretel room is half done...we just have to repaint the walls to add the trees for the forest and it will be finished. We have 2 walls to put up in the final room and then we have to paint giant flowers and grass on the walls and build the mushroom for our Hookah Caterpillar. I have picked up two costume patterns, one for our fairy godmother and one for… Continue

Gingerbread House is Coming Along

The gingerbread house is built, roofed, painted and we are in the midst of making candies and attaching them to the sides. We will be adding another window next to the door, possibly with a mural painted under it to give a false view of the inside of the house. The CandyCanes are made from 4" PVC and red electrical tape.
The peppermint candies are foam board painted and then striped with tape. The lemon, lime, and orange wedges are foam board, last year they were train wheels. I'm trying to make… Continue

Making progress Halloween 2008 Update

Well the Big Bad Wolf costume is complete. We have been out in the garage taking apart old walls that aren't needed, moving doorways, and such.
Jim built a wall to hold the magic mirror with Mandi's help and they have mounted the mirror's frame to the wall. When we get closer to Halloween the 2 way mirror glass will be added to that frame spot, but for now it stays safe in storage...any scratches would ruin the effect. I have posted a couple of pics of this wall and mirror frame.
We plan to pain… Continue
