    Halloween 2016

    This year I decided to dig up the headstones from the year before. We buried them so they were even more awesome the next year. They were covered in moss and egg sacs! Pretty cool. I also made a giant cauldron and painted bottles to decorate the porch like potions. Little kids loved it! The...

    That darn "35 Days" sign up there isn't helping any! Friday is my Spawn's birthday. I always start to set up the cemetery the day after. However, she is turning 21. This means Thursday night at midnight, the hubby & I will be taking her out for her first "legal" adult beverage. Friday...

    Hey guys, I make little things out of cement, and my newest creation is mini tombstones. They're 3.5" tall, and have weathered marks on then like cracks and unevenness. They're pretty heavy and heavy duty as well - I use a special mix of cement with rebar. Let me know what you think...

Making new headstones kinda got put on hold for a couple years between wedding planning/wedding and Ghouliet's multiple foot operations that left her feeling humbuggy.

I'm asking 60.00 for...

    Hello fellow haunters - quick question about gluing styrofoam and PVC for headstones. I need to glue two 2-inch thick styrofoam (pink) slabs together, with PVC pipes in between to use for attachment to rebar. I bought glidden gripper to join the styrofoam, but will it work for the PVC too...

    My husband took the list of all those who had be hanged in Washington State since the 1800's, so our tombstones are murders, rapists, and thiefs of our state. A little creepy, I know, but I guess it's a history lesson.... Does anybody else use real names?

    I've read about the PVC and rebar method.... But I do not know what a rebar is hahahaha. What is a good method to secure foam tombstones into the ground?
