A dark and stormy night...




Hard work can pay off it seems. I was a bit of a frantic chicken before (and a little during) the party but it turned out just as I'd imagined. We lit hundreds of candles. We hung hundreds of spiders on spooky webs and set up a projector to run horror films throughout the night. I made coffin cakes, cookies in the shape of witches fingers, brain cupcakes and lots more appetising delicacies. G made a fantastic horror music playlist. Nix cut out amazing bats while recovering from shoulder reconstruction. Friends arrived in brilliant costumes. Everyone lent a hand on something and eventually after a day of tired tidying up there was miraculously no more work to be done. This felt eerie in itself. So glad I did it. Looking forward to doing nothing next halloween ;)
