Almost October!

I got sidetracked on my Halloween creatures a while back.  

I wanted a "pocket"  or reticule for my witches.

I found a couple of antique versions on pinterest:

Mine had to be tiny.  2-3" tall,

so I pulled out some scraps and got started.

Now my witches have little "pockets"

stuffed with lavender and chamomile flowers

to carry with them.

A little pumpkin man,
about 4" tall.

Below, another little pumpkin man

with crackled face and body.

Another little bat 

to keep him company.

He is about 4" sitting

(and he has to sit or hang

because his bow legs 

aren't made for standing.)

Have a few other things in progress,

and at least one that never 

made it to the photo booth :)

in his finished state.

I've been working in the garden lately.

In the South, 88 degrees mean Fall,

and don't we appreciate it!

Carl's R.I.P Reading Challenge is in effect,

so I've been reading some spooky and 

horror books for that.

Are you ready for October?
