pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin~
I can't believe October is here already, and it's already almost half-way through! Aaaaaah. The stores now have the Christmas decoration up next to the Halloween costumes and candy, and I am just not ready for this year to be over yet. But at least these last months will be busy, with the pumpkin contest this month and NaNoWriMo next month. Speaking of...
Yay, annual pumpkin contest! I already bought my pumpkin, which I guess wasn't very smart, but it is lovely and I am doing my best to keep it cool and dry until it's Carving Time. I am fairly certain I'm going to carve something Korra related, but I gotta admit, it's very tempting to do something Adventure Time or Trigun related instead. Maybe I'll just look up those pumpkin themes on dA instead.
Also for the contest, I am crocheting a Korra amigurumi doll as a prize. My sister taught me how to crochet over the summer, and after some practice I thought I would do this. I'm about 50% done; just got to make the boots, arms, face, and front hair/bangs. She was supposed to be 5-inches tall, but I modified the pattern a bit to ease my yarn shortage, so now she is 6 and a half. I think something went wrong there. In theory she is supposed to be able to stand by herself, but her head is so top-heavy I'm not sure if she'll be able to. Maybe I'll put pennies in her shoes to help? Or would that be bad for metal detectors. =x
Anyway, after I finish her, I really want to make a Wolfwood amigurumi with a cross and little portable confessional (aww~), but maybe I should make Aang instead for another prize. It should be finished faster this time around since I know more of what I'm doing. (....this all sounds really awful, but the Korra doll actually looks okay! I'll post pictures when I'm done.)
