Happy Halloween!

Feels more like winter, to me.  SO freakin cold here, you have no idea.  And, I'm cheap, so not turning on the heat until mid-November!  My roommate hates me...

As I sit here, not-so-slowly putting myself into a diabetic coma with all these Halloween treats, I'm staring at these super cute pumpkins my roommate, boyfriend and I made the other day, and I realize how much I love them.  Pumpkins are like.. the best vegetable.  Or fruit, or whatever it is.  It is the best.  I'm currently making some pumpkin spice CHOCOLATE DIPPED cookies to surprise my roommate. (We've been on not-so-nice terms lately, I figured, let's break the ice with cookies! And who doesn't love cookies??!!)

Things I've completed lately:

I knitted a little owlie baby toy for our good friend Matt's soon to come new addition.  It's a puppy!  No, it's not.  

I finished the surprise present I can't say exists yet until I give it to him because I think he reads this sometimes when he's bored and I don't want to ruin it yet.  Unless I already have and forgot.  Which, you know, happens sometimes.

I've been trying to knit up these socks for holiday presents coming up, because socks are relatively easy, comfy, and awesome to knit up, but I can't find the right yarn, or maybe the pattern, or needles... sock knitting just isn't coming together for me yet.  So I'm hoping I can get on it soon, since most of my holiday gifts this year will be of the sock variety.  In fact, everyone on my list gets socks.  Minus like.. one person. Ha.  I hate myself for being so damn creative. 

I'm in the process of finishing the paper mache Halloween spectacular costume for my roommate.  I plan on sitting on my porch wrapped in a blanket, going, of course, as someone who is sick, you know, because I am sick, and he'll be out partyin down the streets in a ridiculous costume that I've so lovingly made for him.  South Park, Coon and Friends, he's going as Mint Berry Crunch.  So, still have some sewing to do, still have some gluing, painting, and the like, but, it'll be complete before 8pm.  So I should probably get working now instead of whatever the hell I'm doing now....
