Halloween is getting sooo close! I'm a little bumm

Halloween is getting sooo close! I'm a little bummed that this year is going to be so different. I didn't even have the motivation to make costumes... The boys are going to be *gasp* store-bought ninjas.... Sigh. It will be okay. One day they won't want me to make them costumes anyway.

I did have plenty of motivation to make up these Spooky Pillows and this Nightmare the Snake for a friend! They are so perfect together! The graphs for these faces are available in the Premium PDFs on Ravelry or Etsy. (my site has the links) The free patterns are on my site too!

BIRTHDAY PATTERN SALE! Get 30% your cart from my Ravelry or Etsy shops! Now through October 4! Woot!

So my birthday was actually yesterday... I was born late so it seems appropriate that I would start this birthday sale late!

I spent the day with my boys. We did our schoolwork, went to Ikea to pick up a new bedroom set (soooo excited about that!), played Exploding Kittens where I lost almost immediately, and ended the day with my traditional Angel Food cake that I didn't have to share! 🎂😊 It's the little things that make a girl feel special! 😂

It's finally Fall! I'm so very excited! It's my favorite time of the year, and not just because my birthday is next week either...
The weather is perfect. My two favorite holidays are coming up. And I get to wear all the cozy warm things!😊
I'm working on the patterns for these Spooky Pillows today. Hoping to have them ready to go by the end of the month.
I used cross stitch over SC for the designs on these. I absolutely love how it comes out! Have you ever cross stitched on crochet? You'll have to give it a try, there's so much you can do!

Living only one mile away from @joann_stores means when #BigTwistYarn is on sale stocking up is easy! My super supportive husband didn't even bat an eye when I said I just needed to run in and grab 10 (or 18) skeins! 😂 🧶♥️
I love using Big Twist because it comes in so many colors, it's affordable (plus it goes on sale a lot), and it holds up so well!
Now I need to get some projects finished so I can start some new ones with all these colors! 😊

Spike the Pig is the third in my Farm Loveys set! With his little piggy nose and curly tail, he will be a perfect snuggle buddy!

Getting close to having these patterns ready to release! They will be available individually or as a bundle. Which are you most excited about?! I can't decide... #AuburnElephant #crochet #handmadegifts #loveys #Amigurumi #makerlife #spikethepig

One of Duck's farmyard friends, Wes the Horse! I just love the fuzzy mane and tail!

These patterns are coming together nicely! I can't wait to share. 😊❤️ #AuburnElephant #crochet #handmadegifts #loveys

I was planning on calling this little duck Rupert. But now I'm not sure. (Apparently, there's already a Rupert the Duck in the world...) What do you think his name should be?
He has a couple of farmyard friends joining him in a bundle soon! 😊🐎🐖.. #AuburnElephant #crochet #handmadegifts #loveys #Amigurumi #makerlife #namingstuffishard

These 2 little ones are getting a pattern update!

I made 20+ of these for Owen's birthday last year as party favors for his Kindergarten class. It doesn't feel like it was that long ago! And since we were e-learning on his birthday this year I didn't get to make anything for his classmates. Hopefully, we get to see some of the same kids next year!

FINALLY!! This pattern should have been released i

FINALLY!! This pattern should have been released in February... before all of my "reasonable excuses" would have kicked in (car accident, pandemic, e-learning). But we're not going to dwell on what I should have done and instead focus on what I finally managed to finish!! #positiveoutlook
In any case, I absolutely LOVE this Super Hero! I have made so many as last minute gifts for kids. Add an embroidered letter on the front with some custom colors and it's personlized just for them!
I don't know how many different Super versions of themselves my boys think they need but apparently it's a lot!
Head over to my site for the pattern!

This Little Super Hero here has been a pattern in my queue for far too long! Finally getting it all tested and ready for release! Yay!

Do you have any of those projects that you know should be done but you just can't seem to finish? It only takes one or two minor details to for me to leave something 'in progress'... Definitely trying to work on that though!

We've been having such an oddly warm winter that I started thinking about Spring already! Although, we are now expecting snow and ice overnight so maybe I jinxed it... Oops!

I love that I was able to crochet parts of the boys' costumes this year. They love it too (for now at least!)

No pattern for the chainmail, sadly. But it's just a repeat of sc, Ch 2, skip 1 for 2 rectangles then sewn together and crocheted on sleeves and a hood.

I still love how cute this little Witch Hat is! Kitty was already cute without it but the hat is perfect! Now I'm wondering what other accessories I should make... Hmm..⁣
