Hi friends and Happy Fall!
I love fall and I decided this year to buy some new fall decorations and make my own crocheted apples.
My daughter and I went to Michael's craft store and she helped me pick out the fall decorations and the yarn to crochet the apples.
My first attempt to crochet an apple was not good and the apple looked to me like an orange shape. I was determined to make one with a pattern I liked, so I used a different pattern and it was a lot easier for me to crochet.
The apple I have shown here is my second attempt at the apple with a different pattern. I'm so happy I found this crochet pattern.
Here is the information to crochet your own apple:
The pattern to make this crocheted apple was found on Pinterest. The pattern can be found HERE.
Crochet Hook: US Size G
Yarn: Apple - Red Yarn, Red Heart Soft - Wine Art. E7284608
Leaf - Green Yarn, Red Heart Soft - Dark Leaf Art. E7289523
Stem - Leftover yarn from my yarn stash
** You can use whatever yarn and colors you like to make your own apple.
I had so much fun crocheting this once I figured out how to make the apple. I hope I have inspired you to crochet your own apple too!
Thanks for stopping by and wishing you a wonderful Fall weekend!
See you all back here on Monday for Cooking and Crafting with J & J. We can't wait to see what you create and share with us.
Thanks everyone and Enjoy!

I'm happy to be joining Amy from Love Made My Home for her Five on Friday Series.
I am taking five minutes of my day to share five things.
I'm sharing five things I love about fall!
1) Cooler Temperatures - After having such a hot summer here, it's such a relief to feel the cooler weather and not have to use the air conditioner every day. I love sleeping at night with the windows open and feeling the cool breeze.
2) Sweater Season - I love wearing my favorite sweaters and cardigans with my jeans when fall arrives.
3) Apples - I enjoy all kinds of apple recipes, such as apple pie, apple cider, baked apples, and apple crisp.
4) Leaves - I enjoy taking early morning walks with my dog Bosco and looking at the leaves on the trees. I also like watching the leaves change different colors to yellow, orange, red, and brown.
5) Drinks - With the cooler weather comes hot drinks such as tea, pumpkin lattes, and hot chocolate.
This is just a few of the reasons I love fall. What are yours?

Hi friends, I love crocheting coasters and I found a really nice pattern to make at Oliva's blog called, Oliva's Creative Quest. If you would like to make your own coasters, you can find the pattern HERE.
Shown below is the version of the coaster I made using fall colored yarn.
Here is what I used to make the coaster:
Crochet Hook: US size H.
Yarn: Bernat, Handicrafter Cotton, Harvest Home Collection in the color Harvest.
Please take a minute to visit Oliva's awesome blog HERE. Thanks Oliva for sharing this really cute pattern to make coasters. I'm having fun crocheting them with your pattern.
I hope I have inspired you to make some coasters too. I'm looking forward to making these for gifts for the holidays. I also made some to donate to our annual crochet sale we have at my church.

One morning recently, while I was walking my dog Bosco, I took this photo of these trees and park benches.
This second picture is the same photo, but I used the Waterlogue App to get this watercolor effect. I think this would make a pretty card.
Thanks everyone and Enjoy!

Hi friends. Have you seen these coloring books yet? Well they are all the rage right now, and they are so much fun to color. They have exciting designs on every page and different themes to choose from. You can use crayons or colored pencils to color in the pages and they are a great way to relieve stress, and perfect for teens and adults. This is a way to bring out your imagination, creativeness, and get lost in coloring for hours.
I bought a few of these online from Amazon and they are also sold in bookstores such as Barnes & Noble, and at Costco. There are so some many different design books to choose from such as flowers, mandalas, animals, etc. I spent some time coloring a page with colored pencils and I really enjoyed it, as I haven't colored in a long time.
If you think you might like coloring, than I would recommend these coloring books. These also make great gifts for birthday's or for the holiday's. I just bought my niece last weekend, for her birthday, one of these books and a big set of crayons and markers to go with it. My niece seemed excited to try it out and I hope she has fun.
Have you tried out these coloring books yet?
I also downloaded an app on my iPad for coloring called Colorfy that was recommended by my blog buddy Jess from Plucky's Second Thought. This is a fun way to color too but you have to get used to using it. You can color some awesome pictures this way.
This shot was taken from one of my morning walks with my dog Bosco. I am going to enjoy the next few weeks left of the summery weather here.
Thanks everyone and Enjoy!

Hi friends, it has been so hot here this summer and I have been busy and just too hot to crochet. Instead I have been working on small projects and I made another sunglass case but this time using cotton yarn.
I had so much fun crocheting the sunglass case that I made back in July, and incase you missed that post on the other sunglass case I made, you can click HERE to see it.
You can also use this for your sunglasses or eyeglasses. I really enjoyed making this project and it can be made in just a few hours.
The yarn I used is Lion Brand Yarn, Kitchen Cotton, in the color 147 Grape. The crochet hook I used was US size H or I. For the pattern to make your own sunglass case, you can click HERE.
Incase you did not know, I will also be donating this to our church's holiday crochet sale that we have each year in the fall. I hope I have inspired you to make one too. These also make great gifts and you can make them in many different colors.
