So in a fit of insanity and finding something to keep busy that is relatively low impact I decided to make the kids a goody bag for Halloween. When I was little my great aunt (I think), or maybe my grandmother made my brother and I a Halloween goody bag in the shape of a pumpkin. I pulled our Halloween box out a week ago to start looking at stuff and took a hard look at said goody bag and I figured I could attempt to replicate it. Somehow, I miscalculated ( not a stretch for me, math isn’t my strong suit), and ended up with a LOT of fabric left over. So, the new baby gets a pumpkin bag too. I might even have time, I doubt it, to make my daughter an orange skirt. Anyways, I am excited, I finished one today, but my feet are very upset with me, let’s just say it is hard to find my ankles. I made some minor changes to make it different from mine, but the kids are already claiming the one completed. I have one last thing to add and that is their initials on their pumpkins, why do this, you might ask. I remember every year when we would pull out our box of Halloween stuff my brother and I would constantly argue about which one was which. I plan on avoiding this with my kids and just putting their initials on it. But I need to put my foot up, so that will have to wait until tomorrow. Here is the finished project. 
Here is my very old one.
And my poor swollen feet.
Just two more to do and I will be done. I am so happy they turned out.
Those are way cute!
