I’m not quite sure where the last week has went, as I’ve been preparing for the Indie Design A Long and finishing up a couple of patterns.
I was so excited for Halloween – it’s one of my favorite holidays, not the least because it happens during the height of Fall. I also love that it’s the holiday where you can play pretend; or eve
n try on different types of people you want to be. Oftentimes when I was a teenager, Halloween was the time to let my dreams out to play.
This year I was so excited. We live in suburbia, and I was convinced that we’d get lots of trick or treaters. Last week I decorated the house, making a rather epic run to Walmart, which was pretty impressive considering that I left stuff for others to buy. I got pumpkin bags that you fill with leaves (real grownups have those – my parents never got them as we always lived up against a wooded area, so leaves got composted).
We got 12 trick or treaters. It was a disappointment.
Still, I thought I’d share with you some pictures of my decorations.

| My black cat costume matches the cat on our door! I carved my pumpkin to be my logo. |
