Fall tag.

 Its been a year and a half since I posted here.

Yup. facebook is the grandma hang out now.

But I saw this on youtube. so I will give it a go.

Fall Tag Questions:

🔮 This or that: - 1. Apple Cider or Hot Chocolate? hot chocolate once in a while, with marshmallow fluff.

2. Thanksgiving or Halloween? Thanksgiving, love the family time.

3. Do you call this season Autumn or Fall? Usually say fall, but autumn works too

4. Trick Or Treat? Treats!

5. Carve a pumpkin or Eat Pumpkin Pie? Pumpkin pie is ok. My kids, brothers, nieces and nephews all expect my pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. I don't want to disappoint them. AND I want to lick the bowl after I make the frosting.

6. Haunted house, haunted hay ride, or haunted corn maze? none, I don't like being scared. 🎃 Questions: 1. Favorite Halloween Candy? anything chocolate

2. Do you shop on Black Friday? Never have, usually I scan the ads and online shop Thanksgiving night.

3. One thing you love about the Fall and one thing you hate? I love cool nights and warm day, changing leaves, and apples. I hate swarms of japanese beetles and hornets.

4. Favorite fall accessory? Hoodie

5. Favorite Halloween movie? Hocus Pocus, its so hilarious! 6. What are you dressing up as for Halloween this year? I don't dress up. Halloween isn't my thing.

mittens

I made a pair of mittens.
I didn't have a pattern, I just winged it.

The cuffs are too big, but other than that, 
I like how they turned out.

I am waiting for some red wool yarn to arrive so I can try again!

I love making these big chunky ski hats,
and adding the faux fur pom poms.

they remind me of the ones Chloe Kim wore in the Olympics  :)

warm weather crochet

I have been making dish cloths.
A little more spring friendly than a big project.
I used Premier Cotton Fair yarn, a cotton/acrylic blend. I usually use 100% cotton. 
Am trying to get a little inventory built up before a craft show this fall. 
(still need to work my ends in, my least favorite task)
