Pumpkin Challenge Mid-Month Update

So, after being told to slow down on my pumpkin production, I actually stopped for a few days. It doesn’t help that I wasn’t feeling well and basically did nothing but research and plan for a few days — which means I basically sat on my computer, making plans for more projects, and making sure I didn’t forget other projects already on the get-it-done list.

Then it hit me that I needed to get to making some pumpkins to actually complete the challenge—instead of letting it rot by the wayside. Why? If I actually stopped making the pumpkins, come the first week of October, our youngest would start peppering me with questions about where the pumpkins were and why I hadn’t been giving them to him while making them all through September.

I can’t have that. Especially since I have another challenge set for myself for October as well.

However, instead of making one or two a day, I made the bodies of several pumpkins during the day. Before bed, I sat down, seamed them up, stuffed them, and then tossed them one by one at the boy while he was playing some game on his tablet.

Mass production is definitely the way to go.

I made nine in that session. That brings my total up to nineteen pumpkins made. I have a tracker that I am using, not photographic proof, as I seem to have misplaced at least a picture of one pumpkin. Or maybe I didn’t take it. The tracker does not lie. I make sure of that.

Plus, I only have to take one picture when I make a bunch at once.

So, nineteen down, eleven more to go. Although I may throw in a couple more by the end of it, just to make the boy happy.
