I still haven't carved the pumpkin we earmarked for carving yet, but it's going to be GIR from Invader Zim. (I painted the other one a few weeks ago and Laurel's been loving the paint off it ever since.)
The faux-chainstitch (dimensional paint) is drying on Laurel's costume top, so I only need to acquire the oversized buttons for decoration and Velcro to fasten the back and she'll be good to go, sans the yarn wig. You'd think it'd be easier to find rust-colored rug yarn, but neither Wal-Mart (where we bought the costume pattern) nor Michael's crafts had any, so unless Hancock Fabrics surprises us she'll be fine without it.
