Like Julie (the Julie in the book and movie Julie & Julia), I am blogging my way through a book as mentioned in an earlier post. The book: Blanket Statement - one thrifted wool blanket repurposed into 40+ projects by Vicki Haninger.
Project #1 on pages 26 and 27 is complete! My blanket is green, and baby pumpkins are green, so I decided to make a little toothy baby Jack-o-Lantern. This little pumpkin, however, has a little secret...he's got a little pocket for slipping a baby tooth into for the Tooth Fairy to "collect." 
I used the pattern for the 4 inch pumpkin. The wool felt pieces are appliqued with a blanket stitch. The leaf is also made from felt and lightly stuffed with fiberfill. The pumpkin tendrils are made from jute that was coated with Tacky Glue and wound around a knitting needle to set.
Now, if only I knew someone who had a loose tooth or two...

You have really inspired me with this post. I vow to comment on each project. This is a great beginning for Halloween! Maybe initial and date each project?
Patricia...you made my day! You always are so encouraging and I thank you for that!
(Good tip BTW about the dating, etc.)
when you finish copy catting this book I think you should write your own! The details are amazing.
