Sorta . . .

In follow up to yesterday's "almost" post, today I'll show you a couple things that are "sorta" done. Maybe I'll do more; maybe I won't. If I don't, the world will not end--of course, if I don't get those other things finished that I mentioned yesterday, it almost certainly will.

First, the witch. Goodwill had a nice, red velvet dress for her. I originally envisioned her as more tattered and spooky, but I guess my gal is classier than that. I still want to do something with that hat but I'm not sure what. And Hubby left that sparkly fabric on her torso, but it helps hide the wires and things, so I left it too. By the way, we found out the battery pack is a motion detector--when the witch senses motion, her eyes flash red and she cackles.

In the photo, she's sitting up on the arm of the couch and her legs (or what would be her legs if she had some) reach nearly to the edge of the couch, which makes her about the size of a large kid or a very petite adult. More about her a little later.

Next, the charm pack quilt top I've been working on. It's sorta done too.

Of course, it will need to be quilted, but besides that, I'm not sure if I want a border or not. I think I probably do but I haven't figured out if I have any fabric in my stash that I'd like to use. I have a print of pumpkins on a black background that might work, but the orange in this Minick and Simpson fabric I've used so far might be a bit dark for the border fabric I was thinking about. I'll need to start pulling stuff out to see what would work. If I add a border, it will be a simple one, so it shouldn't take long.

Okay, now about the witch again. She needs a name. I'd greatly appreciate it if those of you who read this post would suggest a name or two. Something kind of original and/or catchy. If I use the name you suggest, I'll send you a little something or other to thank you--I have no idea what that might be yet, but it will probably be Halloween-inspired and not hugely valuable unless I win the lottery between now and then.

Ah, and when is "then"? Let's say I'll decide on her name on Friday night and announce it in Saturday's blog post. Good luck and thanks for the help!
