Ta-daa! Here is my simple little ghost. I need to cut out a little round piece of black felt and glue or sew it on for the mouth, but he’s otherwise done. Princess says not to add the mouth, he looks perfect as is. I’ll sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow. Right now though, I’m ready to crash. I had yet another Girl Scout event to deal with, this one a meeting for service unit volunteers, and right now I’m all Girl Scouted out.

 

 
I am sooooooooooooooooo tired. I spent yesterday with the Girl Scouts at the archery range. Today, we had the troop over for our monthly troop meeting, and I spent 5 hours listening to a gaggle of girls discuss, debate and argue over what we’re doing over the next few months. It was exhausting, to say the least. So exhausting that I do not have the brain power tonight to work on either the Nautilus pattern or the spider web. Therefore I switched to something much more simple. So I grabbed some white yarn and just started crocheting in the round. This will eventually become a ghost, but for tonight, it’s just something to keep me from from using up my last 2 brain cells.

 

 
Very tired today, but I managed to get 3 rounds done on this web. Yay!

 

 
I need to do a bit of hand sewing on this to finish up the rough edges of the netted yarn, but otherwise this one is finished! I’m going to do another with the second skein of Halloween yarn and then decide how I want to stitch the two together. Do I want to make a shrug, or stitch the two halves together to make a lacy poncho? I haven’t decided yet.

Tomorrow, I’ll get started on the next one, and figure this out when that half is done 🙂

 

 
I’m almost finished with the first skein of this yarn. Thinking of using the second skein to make a second shawl, then stitch the two together to form a shrug or poncho!

 
No kitties in my lap tonight, so for once, you get to see how this shawl turns in a spiral. It’s coming along slowly, partly because I have a ton of other Halloween stuff to get done this week and next. I spent most of today working on the murder mystery party for our Girl Scout troop. I have everything planned out, and now need to make all the props. I started work on the gravestones today. I’ll post pictures of that soon.

Meanwhile, here’s what my so-called work space looks like. My work space is actually the living room couch and coffee table, and it frequently gets over-run with yarn and projects, like it is now.
