What are your halloween/fall craft goals?

Links are awesome for this! Smile

Last year, there was so much I wanted to do, but ran out of time.

Some of the things I'm hoping to make for the fall include:

a ribbon wreath

some glowing jack o lanterns made from glass jars (http://notsoidlehands.blogspot.com/2009/09/freecycle-friday-glowing-jack-olanterns.html) 

this pumpkin carousel (http://www.marthastewart.com/269443/funkin-witch-carousel?backto=true&backtourl=/photogallery/creepy-crafts)

And maybe some costumes for the pups. I'm thinking Zeus needs a saddle with a cowboy riding on him, haha!

It feels like fall outside today and that makes me really excited. I'm having to hold myself back from getting out decorations.

  • I have zero fall-related goals this year. Our LO is due October 16, so I'll be busy getting ready for him. I have every intention of buying him a Halloween costume at Target. :P

    I think LO is your goal this year! Smile I was born the 22nd (I was early) and my mom was determined to find me a costume. So I was a cat. And the costume swallowed me. It made for some cute pictures and I know you'll get some cute ones of yours. Congrats!

  • I also am skipping fall crafts this year and focusing on baby and Christmas things. I have a lot of things that I want to do before I tear apart the craft room and turn it into a nursery.
  • Halloween costumes for the family. Better Halloween decorations for outside the house. I want to scare the neighborhood children. 

    And.......starting of the christmas sewing and gift buying. I'm the oldest of 8 kids. I have to start early.

  • I want to try a rag quilt for my living room.  If it turns out, I'm going to make one for my "nephew"...BFF's son.  I want to make a quilt for my parents and for my ILs for Christmas.  I also want to try a knitted headband pattern...if it turns out, I'm going to make one for my SIL and my BFF for Christmas. 
  • I probably won't have time for many fall crafts but I need to work on my Halloween costume (and DH's if he picks something to be).  We will be out of town for Thanksgiving.  Plus, Christmas isn't that very far away, so I should work on those decorations and gifts LOL.

    For Halloween, I am going to be a Lichtenstein...

  • I probably won't have much time for fall crafts with a LO, but I have the stuff for a ribbon wreath (well I've had it for a year now) and really want to do it, maybe one day.

  • Costumes for the dogs....  I'm thinking Angry Birds.  Hamlet (the pug) will be the pig with the crown and Herschel (my chi) will be the blue bird and have two small ones coming off of him.
  • L needs a costume, but I haven't figured it out yet.  That should be it.  Maybe a jumper for L.

  • Well, the baby will be coming in about 2 weeks (being induced for medical reasons), so there's not going to be much time to craft for Halloween. It will most likely still be really hot down here, so I can't make my little man sweat to death in a regular costume (as cute as it would be!)...he'll be wearing some jack-o-lantern booties, orange Fuzzibunz (diaper), a jack-o-lantern hat and I'm going to applique a pumpkin onto either a onesie or a t-shirt (have to wait to do that since I'm not sure if he'll be in either 0-3 or 3-6 month size).
