Crochet Projects!

Hi, Friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!  Brrrr it's cold here, but I'm working on more crochet projects to keep me busy and warm by the fireplace!  There is a light snow falling and it's very pretty!  Maybe we will have snow for Christmas this year.  It doesn't happen too often, but one can only hope!

I'd like to share with you another crocheted pumpkin that I made as seen above.  I finished it up after I already packed up all the fall decorations.  I didn't have much time to enjoy it and placed it on the counter for a photo before packing it away until next year.  I used the wheat stitch pattern for the pumpkin.  I'm hooked on this pattern and made another project that you will see below.

Next up...

The Christmas bulb seen above came together quickly.  It is very easy and fun to do!  I used a clear Christmas bulb and gathered the top and bottom around the bulb.  I glued on the holly and berries and added a silver string to hang the bulb.  It's lovely in real life to see the sparkly yarn!

Ok, that's all for now.  I hope you have a wonderful day and stay warm!  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!

Hello there!

I hope you all here in the USA had a wonderful blessed Thanksgiving!  We went to our son's and had a great dinner.  He does the Thanksgiving meal and we do the Christmas meal.  We managed to fight the crowds on Black Friday shopping.  It really seemed to be more crowded this year.  My left hip felt it and I was happy when we were done!  I'm afraid I'm going to have to have the left hip done some time this year.  I was really hoping I wouldn't have to have it for quite awhile.  I was lucky at one store and got a free charm when they pulled out my son's friend's name for a drawing.  And, my son found a good sale on a suit jacket for himself.  

The above card was made for a former sweet coworker.  The card was made using a Simon Says cardinal die.  The bow and greenery is from Spellbinder's.  The sentiment is from Honey Bee.  I only embossed the lower portion of the panel with a folder from Spellbinder's.  

We were supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow over the weekend, but we only got a dusting of snow.  We now are due to get 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow night.  Maybe it will only be a dusting of snow once again.(fingers crossed)  I like snow, but only at Christmas!

Ok, well off to see your lovely creations on your blogs!  Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care!

Hugs!
