I Love October!

October is one of my favorite months!  I love how the leaves change color, the air crispens up, pumpkin patches open and Halloween is on the horizon. 

Here is what I've been up to this month:

The whole family went to Poppe's Pumpkin Patch in Lakefield, MN last weekend.  It was beautiful and the kids had so much fun running around, picking pumpkins, playing with the goats, and they even have a corn maze!

Here are some cake toppers I've made this month:

 This is a Christmas ornament with a child.  It can be modified to have another child, or only one adult.

Available in my etsy shop: Sock Monkey Santa Family

It's always fun to get a Day of the Dead cake topper order, and this one has a skeletal cat, so fun!

Have a great October, and if you are in a seasonal climate, enjoy the beautiful colors of Fall.
