JACKS BOX

I am still working on my Jack in the Box for the Holiday Softie Awards. I am still working on the box and hope to be done by the end of the weekend. It's taking me a little longer than I anticipated. I made it a little bit more detailed by painting a Halloween scene all the way around the box. I couldn't just make a plain box. The illustrator in me had to paint the blank box. I hope to post it by Sunday.

PUNKIN' JUNKIN

Holli Conger has created a pumpkin decorating contest over at Punkin' Junkin and asked me if I'd like to be a judge the contest. I said yes of course. The idea is to decorate a pumpkin with bits of this and that without carving into it. She asked if I'd like to create one too so I did. What junk I have laying around consists of bits of fabric, buttons, felt, etc. So I bought a tiny pumpkin and came up with this spider. What a great alternative to deorating a pumpkin without spending hours digging out the guts. Plus it lasts longer. This would be a great project for kids who are anxious to decorate pumpkins and they can spend a lot more time working on them. So if you're interested check out Punkin' Junkin.

SECRET REVEALED!

So I am 17 weeks along. We kept it under wraps as long as we could do to problems I've had in the past. All is well and for those of you interested I've started a new blog for family and friends called Robyn's Nest. This is basically for people I don't see often. I will keep this going after the baby is born as well. I am also trying to keep these two worlds as seperate as possible. We'll see how well that goes.

JACK

Well Jacks body is done and I couldn't be happier!! Now I have to make a box. Luckily I have till the 31st to finish him. I was a little worried the deadline would be sooner. That's why I worked so fast to get the body done because i knew the box would take a while. The photo isn't the greatest. I was in a hurry. I'm supper pleased with his hands. My hands cramped up so bad trying to turn those inside out. But totally worth it! Thank goodness fleece has stretch to it.
I also took the time to knit a tiny little scarf. I then added some floral wire through the stitches so that it would stand on its own and look like it's blowing in the wind. I'll get a much better shot of him when he is done.
