I LOVE AUTUMN

This is me on a trail walk last year in Huntsville, ON

The autumn months are by far my favourite and for several reasons. The colors of fall with the beautiful colour changes of leaves and the crisp air, the fashions, the smells and the food are just a part of why I love autumn. My family enjoys going to a local Pumpkin Patch together to hunt for the best & biggest pumpkin. Every year we try a new place but we always seem to end up at Bennett’s Apple farm. I think it is mostly for the Apple Cider & donuts but over the last 4 years it has become our tradition I love the smell of baking pumpkin bread, apple pies, and Turkey on Thanksgiving. Yummy!!! I started warming Baked Apple Pie fragrance in my Scentsy warmer so that it smells like warm Apple Pie every day. We used to go crazy with decorating our front porch with autumn decor but I think I will keep it simple this year with just our pumpkin picks & of a couple potted mums. Keep it simple that seems to be my motto lately. I have started my Christmas present projects this week too. I decided that I am making wool mittens for the men, slippers for the ladies and funky hats for the kids & babies on my list. I will post pictures soon.

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only a week away. My husband’s family makes a whole weekend out of it. We all head up to Turkey Point for turkey dinner. 

We rent a cottage & stay from Friday to Monday. My hubby is the 2^nd youngest of 10 kids, so there are over 50 people, including kids, for dinner. We cook A LOT of food, 3 turkeys, 1 ham, 40 lbs of potatoes & more. We do our big Thanksgiving dinner on the Saturday, buffet style because we cannot find a table to fit all of us at together. By the time the weekend is over, all the food is gone, everyone is tired & full from playing, eating all that turkey & pumpkin pie and all the excitement. It is wonderful that we have kept this tradition.

Monkey Around Baby Hat

When one of my great nephews was born this year, his mommy called him her little monkey. 

So I decided I would make a hat  so everyone would get to know the little 'Monkey'. 

This hat is crocheted with ear flaps & monkey ears. 

I can also customize it for little girl monkeys by adding a bow or flower embellishment.

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my blog.
I plan on sharing my love of crafting, crocheting, baking & family here.
My grandmother taught me how to crochet & knit when I was ten years old. My favorite craft to do is crocheting. I found crochet very easy & simple to learn. She also leaned more to crocheting as it was easier for her hands in later years. I can appreciate that now with my own aching hands. When my grandmother passed away, I inherited her patterns for all things crafty.

I will be posting some of those patterns as e-Patterns. Once a month, I plan on posting 3 free e-Patterns.
My e-Patterns will be sold through http://www.craftsy.com/user/906029

I also make to order infant hats & booties. Please stay tune for photos & more information.

I hope you enjoy & become a fan.
