Hello friends! With Halloween fast approaching I decided to make a crochet ghost. I made this in no time and I'd love to share with you how I made it.
This easy craft took me about 2 hours tops to make.

CROCHET GHOST
What you will need to make the ghost:
Yarn: White Red Heart Yarn - for ghost
Black Red Heart Yarn - for eyes, to tie around ghost, & to hang
Crochet Hook: US Hook size I
Cotton Fill
ch = chain
hdc = half double crochet
Directions:
Chain 22
hdc in second ch from hook. Continue with hdc all the way to end of row. When you get to the end of row ch 2 and turn. Continue this way until you have 14 rows done. Weave in both ends of yarn. This will now look like a square shape. Take a small amount of cotton filling and form into a ball. Place this in middle of the crocheted piece. Take a long piece of cut black yarn and tie a bow around the neck of the ghost. Sew in two eyes with black yarn and add a long piece of yarn at the top of ghost and then tie a knot at the end to hang up.
Done.

Hi friends, I made many years ago a yo-yo garland for my Christmas tree. I love the way it gives my Christmas tree a country feeling.
Here are my yo-yo's laid out on my table that I made. I cut all the fabric into circles and then sewed them to form the yo-yo and then sewed each end together to make the garland.
Here you can see the garland on my Christmas tree from last year.
Here is my Christmas tree 2013 decorated with my handmade yo-yo garland.
To make each fabric yo-yo you need to have each fabric cut into 5 1/4 inch x 5 1/4 inch circles. To make each yo-yo you can see the tutorial at Stephanie's blog The Enchanting Rose.
I really enjoyed sewing these together and I hope I have inspired you to make your own Yo-Yo Garland.
I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season and thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all enjoying fall.
I shared with you all the mini crochet pumpkins that I made last year HERE and the pattern to make them is HERE in a recent post.
Well, I have been busy for the past few weeks crocheting these little mini pumpkins in all sorts of colors.
I made white pumpkins with a black stem which are all the rage in blog land right now.
And this deep orange color with a brown stem!
Here are my little crocheted pumpkins sitting in the fall leaves.
And more little pumpkins! Look how cute they look sitting together.
Below you can see my mantle is decorated with my mini pumpkins. Notice on the left there is a white pumpkin missing. Well, I am still in the process of making it. I need to sew it up. The painting in the background I painted when I was in high school. I do need to make a burlap wreath for next year to hang there.
I used tiny cotton balls to stuff the pumpkins.
There is still time left to make some mini crocheted pumpkins for fall and Halloween.
I hope I have inspired some of you to create one. They are so much fun to make and I will be making a few more for some of my friends in my crochet group since I have a lot of yarn left over.
The white yarn is Caron in the color Fisherman White. The deep orange yarn is Lion Brand Yarn Wool-Ease Chunky in the color 133 Pumpkin. The bright orange yarn is Lion Brand Yarn Vanna's Choice in the color Radiant Orange. The black yarn is Red Heart Super Saver in the color 0312 Black. The brown yarn is from Red Heart (I don't have the label) but the yarn color is dark brown.
If you want to crochet these pumpkins you can use whatever yarn you have and color.
I also want to thank and welcome all my new followers to my blog. Thank you for all your sweet comments, they mean a lot to me.
I also would like to thank all the wonderful friends that I have made in blog land who have featured me on their blogs with all of my crochet creations and my recipes! Thanks it means so much to me.
Julie
