Phoebe and I spent a happy morning creating this curious duo, inspired by traditional German spun-cotton ornaments. We didn't really have the right materials- the traditional figurines are bound with cotton batting- so we had to improvise somewhat with black chenille. Phoebe made the little pumpkin using 'Wiki Sticks', and stitched the crepe-paper skirt for the witch. She was exceptionally proud of herself.
