I have Halloween projects to share! We were invited to a Halloween party, so I made a little bat as a gift for the hosts. He's knit in Kraemer Yarns Perfection Lights and super sparkly. He was fun and quick to make, not as fiddly as I was expecting either. I love how the wings… Continue reading Happy Halloween 2018

Happy Halloween!
We're ready for Halloween tonight! The weather is predicted to be on the chilly side, perfect for all the Elsa's out there, including my own. My daughter is still big into all things princess. Last year she was Wonder Woman (technically a princess!) and I thought maybe this year we could something different. Elsa, in… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
Halloween Listicles
This candy corn buddy I made for my niece and of course I didn't get any photos of her with it! The pattern was easy and it worked up quick. Click here for the pattern; it is on the RepeatCrafterMe website, not yet on Ravelry. I haven't done a list in a while! Halloween is… Continue reading Halloween Listicles
Weathered
Sandy has come and gone. She destroyed a lot of trees in my town and left a lot of people in the dark for most of the week. It could always be worse and my heart just breaks for the people in New York City and along the Jersey Shore. Connecticut took a beating, no… Continue reading Weathered
Happy Halloween
Hard to believe that I can look outside my window and see foliage on the trees and snow on the ground! On Friday we went to a local orchard's pumpkin patch for a Halloween parade:My little witch.Prize-winning "cow" (he's really a horse, the outfit has a mane) - he won for best animal costume!And then… Continue reading Happy Halloween
Fall Weekend
What a weekend. The weather here was decidedly chilly, but there was sunshine for a bit. Lately the Lorax seems to have boundless energy so we are trying to get in a good dose of running around outside each day. On Saturday we were doing just that and then realized that there were quite a… Continue reading Fall Weekend
Belated.
Hello November! I had grand ideas of trying to do the blog post a day like some people I know (and admire them for doing it!) or even a daily gratitude entry for the month of November. But, all of a sudden it's midweek and I finally have my thoughts together (and some time) to… Continue reading Belated.
Time to Decorate
I was waiting on pulling out the Halloween decorations - today seems like a good day to tackle that. We've been given decorations to add to our own stuff this year and they are just sitting on the table. And I made a new little decoration, this little bat:He's in a bat cave! No not… Continue reading Time to Decorate
My Dog is Such a Good Sport (Part1)
I'm so "one of those moms" - you know the kind that get all Martha Stewart about stuff? Yeah, it's in my genes. My mom did it and I love it - still do, I've already started a file of magazine pages with ideas for costumes / parties / decorations / crafts for when Lorelai… Continue reading My Dog is Such a Good Sport (Part1)
Halloweenie-fest ready!
Even though the astronaut costume didn't work out, I did manage to finish the zebra sweater for Jackson. Apologies to Steven Pastis - author of my current favorite comic, Pearls Before Swine. I especially love the crocodiles - the males speak in this "barely articulate" manner, and greet their zebra neighbors with a great "Hullooo… Continue reading Halloweenie-fest ready!
