A few years ago I made a housewarming present for some family who moved into their new home in October. Since I love Halloween I crocheted a pumpkin and gave it a variety of interchangeable faces. I loved the project so much that I made another one for a friends' birthday the following year. I've thought about the project a lot since I first made it and have always wanted to make another for myself and so I finally sat down to make one and ended up making four. I started with the largest one and then once I'd finished I thought it might be cute to make a smaller one with a fixed face instead of the velcro faces. And then when that was done I thought it would be cute if it were even smaller and then when that one was done it happened again and I made the fourth punpkin and now I don't think I can get any smaller than that. I just need to add stems and faces and get these little guys set up around the house.

I'm also trying to make some little bats to go along with these so I've got one of those in progress but there's no photos because it's not very photogenic right now. It's just a stuffed black ball. I found some cool felt eyes at Michael's that I'm going to add and maybe some little white felt fangs and then some large felt wings attached to the back.
Ideally, I'd like to start making stuff like this for my Etsy shop but it's so hard to find time. Anyone have any advice on how to work a crafting business in with a full-time job?
