( And not so Wordless)
My hydrangea plant has changed it's color to a light pink and won't be around too much longer due to the fall weather. I will miss seeing the pretty flowers until next spring.
Happy October Friends!
I usually do not put out fall decorations inside my house, but this year I decided to do some decorating in my living room. I was inspired because of all the blogs I have been visiting and looking at their fall home decor. I was determined this year to decorate my mantel with crocheted apples that I wanted to make.
If you would like to visit my post on how to make your own crochet apples you can visit my blog post HERE.
The other items I bought at Michael's craft store and I enjoyed picking them out as there were so many to choose from. I thought they blended in well with the crocheted apples.
This is my fall mantel and the church painting was made by me many years ago when I was a teenager and I had taken many painting lessons. I love this fall scene and the colors of the trees.
On this small bookcase I have displayed a pumpkin crate with small pumpkins inside. The hydrangea's are not real, but I love the way they look in the vase.
I will be mixing in with these decorations my crocheted pumpkins I made.
To see my mini crocheted pumpkins and to make your own in time for Halloween, you can visit HERE.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my mantel decorated for fall and soon it be ready for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

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?
