Crocheted Pumpkins & Needle Felted Animals

Here are three of the pumpkins that I have made for the craft fair.




They are made of a combination of these types of yarn:Lion Brand Wool-Ease,Lion Brand Vanna's Choice,Phentex Merit,and AcMoore Fashion Mill Ends. I have so far made four pumpkins,and three Baby Monsters. I still have to take photos of the Baby Monsters and the other pumpkin. I keep on wondering if I should make anything Christmas-like or not,but I did just think of something that might work. A Christmas colored Baby Monster? Maybe! Now for the needle felted animals.





I'm sorry the photos are so dark. Anyway,I decided to jump into the world of needle felting! I got this Dimensions needle felting kit at Michael's the other day. The kit is for a hedgehog,but I decided to make up my own owl too! I think they are cute. I still need to perfect the thickness of their bodies,though. They feel a little squishy,but they do hold together. Now,here is a Halloween update. I have a bad feeling everything will be very last minute this year. The Halloween display outside Isn't finished,we don't have all the candy for the trick-or-treaters,and I'm not entirely sure when we will be able to carve pumpkins. Oh,well. I guess we will try our best,and hopefully everything will come together in the end! Here are the links to everything.
