Home@Stirling - Halloween Props

Every year we try to do a gathering of some sorts at home. So this year, after James' 1st month baby shower which was held in March, we are finally having a PARTY!

well not really a party. but a barbeque with colleagues. And Halloween is coming!!! And I'm those peeps who loves a decorated theme party, just gives me a really good excuse to decorate my place again!!! I just love moving things around the house because I get so tired from seeing the same old thing for such a long time. And I'm really excited that after Halloween, Christmas will be here and I get to decorate my home AGAIN!!! wee!!!! 

Here's some photos to share with my readers on what we are preparing for tomorrow's BBQ! not the food, but the Halloween props. hah!

DIY Bunting kept from last year's halloween.

Ghost lamps. Spider webs. Eye balls. Jack O lantern.

closer look at my cute ghost. 

DIY! Made it by myself and super easy. You just need 1 big plastic bag, majority in white colour, place it over your lamp, cut 1 pair of eyes and mouth from felt cloth and stick it onto the plastic bag!!!

 my pumpkin decor from daiso, DIY printed bats and cut it myself. Quite an easy task.

 DIY eyeballs. Super easy to make too. I crushed scrap paper into a ball, scotch taped them to keep the shape intact. Cut round shapes from my felt cloth and stuck them onto the scraped ball and voila, I have my "eyeballs"

Can't wait for my early celebrated Halloween BBQ tomorrow!!!

Home@Stirling - Halloween Party!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Hi peeps! I'm all decked out in my witch costume to receive my guests!!! Hubs made a felt Batman logo and double sided taped it to one of Jules' blue romper. Hubs also cut a piece of black cloth to make a cape for our little batman. Then we made Jules wear his skinny jeans and voila, our little batman is ready for his first Halloween Party too!

here's our smashing little batman! Jule was very excited with his cape and went running around the house and trying to catch his cape.

batman and witch - weird combi

 my son - posing!

 Jules snatched my witch hat! and he turns to witchy batman.

hubs- in normal gear because he refused to do anything different. The most was he wore all black for the occassion. hmph. I think he is more concerned about his chickens in the oven. He keeps checking on them through the window of the oven.

 here's a closer look at the birds...looking all puffy and slurps. I think JUICY?

 That's our real big pumpkin at our door entrance. Yes people, the party is starting!!!

Once the birds are out of the oven, we started to put our corn muffin batter into the muffin cups. We are serving Kenny Roger style chickens with tombstone corn muffins!!!

After roasting the birds in our oven for 1h 45mins, they are ready to be cooled on the rack before we re-heat them when our guests arrive.

 And the first couple arrives!!! and we immediately serve them our ribena eyeball fruit punch!

My corn muffin!!! ready in 25mins after baking and I've added my tombstone toppers too!!! I think they look really stylish now to eat.

Awesome Puking Pumpkin made by Brenda
