Crafty Archaeology--Rediscovering Projects

During my recent clean and reorganize, I found a number of projects that had been put away unfinished for one reason or another.  

I found the embroidered doll body, I worked on when I was in need of just the pleasure of stitching.  When I made the long body about three years ago, I had something in mind, but never completed the doll.  I found the body worked as a nice canvas to keep me busy that year while doing some binge watching of some television series.  

In another storage box, I found several incomplete heads, but they were all too heavy for the body.  Then there was a gourd; about the right size, nice and light, with a pleasant rattle of seeds inside.  :)  

After looking at the other re-discovered stuff, I decided to go with the gourd.  I painted it white and grunged it up a bit, found a piece of dowel in my stash for a neck, and was ready to give it a simple pumpkin face.  I'm really going to finish this incomplete eccentric character this time.

The odd batch of heads below may get some work when I finish the above.  I'm thinking the stuffed head I painted black may make a Halloween cat.  I'm also thinking that most of these will go back in the UFO box for a while.

I reorganized and labeled drawers, and still lost a few things that took some time to find.  I thought I must have thrown away an envelope flip book project that I'd been working on, but it turned up later.  Don't know what happened to my score tape, still looking for that.

The idea of the labels was to be able to find things I moved,

 but it hasn't been a perfect solution.  :\

Still spending time getting accustomed to the new system...

Are you in the mood for fall?  

It may not arrive here until November, but I'm OK with pretending.
