I don't have a pumpkin for carving - I don't have any mad carving skillz and I'm sick of scraping dried gunk off the porch after the neighborhood teenager troglodytes come to smash it at 3 a.m. before running off snickering*. (Stupid kids like that? Are the reason guns are still legal. The real reason. The Second Amendment and being prepared Just In Case are all just a cover story.)
I DO, however, have a Halloween obi now. Yey for feeling crafty. (And now, much poorer - I was bad at math and my fabric store spree cost a LOT more than I thought it would...)

I just need to go to the craft store and pick up some gaudy pumpkin/bat/skull/whatever bead things to make some accessories. Yesh. (Anyone got money they can loan me? o.O:)
Now that I know what I'm doing (mostly) - I will get the lighter interfacing, do BOTH sides of the fabric (rather than just one) and hopefully have a neater end product - I bought the fabric already! Cake prints and pastries and stuff! It's SO cute! (and WAY cheaper than Mamechiyo-plus-buying-services...)
* These same failed abortions also find it to be good fun to go 'round at the same ungodly hour the night before trash day, knocking over the garbage cans and scattering their contents - especially the ones with the grass cuttings - all over the street and sidewalk.
