New pattern and an announcement!

Hello!
How are things?
Well, I have a new pattern available. Meet the Gentleman Specter:

He is a dapper fellow with his top hat and scarf. Or you could give him a dunce cap, a cowboy hat, or you could give him a bow and make him a her. He'll be adorable no matter what!
I also have a monster pattern available:

I think I forgot to post about him. This guy here in the picture lives with us. These monsters are great for keeping babies company (as long as you don't use buttons or anything else that could be dangerous for little ones).

Anyway, now for my announcement:
I'm going to try to develop a very detailed zombie pattern to sell!!! Yay!

I've gotten enough requests for it that I've decided to try to write a pattern for it. I didn't want to do it before because I've made up some of the stitches and it's a bit more advanced that the beginner crocheter would have difficulty and I was worried that people would have a hard time understanding it. But, I'll try and just add plenty of pictures :)
But be forewarned - it's not for the faint of heart! Do not attempt unless you are experienced!
(As always, these patterns are for personal use only. Do not sell anything you make using my patterns)
That also means that I will be able to make a pattern for this guy too:

Yay Pumpkinheads!!
I have a lot more sketches in my notebook to make patterns for, so keep checking back for more!
I've gotten a good start on Sam's monster nursery thanks to Rebecca Danger so I'll have to post some pictures when I get more taken, but here's a sneak peek:

Sorry, it's nightime so the lighting isn't the greatest.
I'm planning on making a monster theme for Sam's first birthday (holy-crap-he-is-almost-one!!) so all of these monsters will come in handy. Since he is so young and doesn't know what is going on anyway, I want to keep his first birthday simple and am only going to have our immediate family there. Then when he's older we can do a fun all-of-Sam's-friends-attending birthday party. I hope I don't offend anyone, I just really want to keep things simple for this one. And I don't want to freak him out (my husband's family is HUGE and he knows a lot of people. A LOT). But I'll try to take lots of pictures!
Here's a sample of the party invite I made:

Then I'll add the info at the bottom. Monsters are cute.
Alrighty, I better get to bed. I've been staying up way too late. Hope you have a great week!
