Halloween Pendants

[bk_forever]

Every Halloween I like to offer the kids a little extra something along with their candy. I had intended to knit some little critters, but I was busy with other things and I never got started, so I decided to whip up a few pendants instead. I got a little carried away... Anyway, I promised a friend I'd post pictures, so here they are.

Glass


Fish

Hematite

Charms








I think I have about 80 altogether. I've had so much fun going through all my beads and seeing what I can do with them.

That is true. I've missed the pressure of contest and challenge weeks. That used to account for about 200k each year. There was also a shortage of other fests, torchwood_fest and no wintercompanion this year for my usual larger submissions. I had a few larger projects in the works but without a fixed deadline they just flounder.
I think maybe next year I will only pledge 250k, as I've been doing more reading books, and the first half of the year I was quite unwell and didn't write much, so maybe I can find time for other pursuits in there as well next year.

Th sounds like a good plan. I'll sign up for 200k again and then if I write more that's fine, but I can enjoy the writing without too much pressure. Contest Weeks were fun, but I'm not sure I could do one now anyway, or not as full-on as I used to go. Then again. seeing how many fills other people were managing always spurred me on.

I haven't read all that much in books or fanfic this year, but I'd like to have more time for that too. We both need to relax and avoid getting stressed, but I always end up pushing myself harder than I intend to, and then I get frazzled...
