Pumpkin Patch Halloween Doily

Hello Family, and friends,

Fall is in full swing here the leaves are falling, and we have lots of trees which means lots of leaves.  

I made this doily in a CAL at the THREADIES group on facebook.  It was shared by crochet memories for an October CAL.

I used Aunt Lydia size 10 thread in Melon for the pumpkin's, and Black thread with a gold metallic in it for the pineapple's.  Click on the picture, and you should see the doily better. 

I gave the doily to a very special friend that I met through a group, and we became close friends over the years.  

I am also knitting a hat and mitten set for a lady and I know it is going to be a great big surprise to her when she gets it.  

Now, I am making Lip Balm Holders for a lady that wants a dozen to give for christmas gifts.  I have 9 made so far, and will share a picture after she has them.  

I see some of my friends visit me often, and I like seeing you have come by to see if I have posted.

I'll say bye again, and thank you for coming to visit me again.

Have a great day,

Katheryn  

 
 

Things I have been making in October

Hello Friends, family, and visitors,

I have been busy this month, and haven't gotten in to post.  I just finished two
chemo hats for my youngest SIL.  One is Grey and the other is Black.  I made
her an Owl hat, and glove set which I have already given to her.  The pictures are
on my desktop computer, so I'll share pictures of them later.  They are also knitted.

I am in the process of making my DGD a gown for her American Girl Doll I got for
her birthday.  She does not know I am making the gown, so this will be a surprise to her.

Our grandson ask me the other day if I would get him something big for his birthday, and I knew he meant money wise, and I said oh yes, I am going to, so he proceeded to tell me all the things he wants. LOL.   We just have the two DGC, so unlike many of you we aren't burdened with a huge expense for the holidays, or special occasions like birthdays. 

I sure wish google would get me in the right location.  They keep me in Arkansas all the time I have no idea where they got that idea about my location, but I am in S.E. Missouri. 

The leaves are falling, and our trees are beginning to look bare.  We just shred up the leaves with our lawn mower they make a good mulch, and turn into dirt eventually.

When you come by please take a bit of time and say hello to let me know you stayed long enough to view my blog, and you are welcome to make any, or all of my free patterns.  I've seen them on pinterest, that several people have pinned there.   I haven't designed any snowflakes this year, just the doily, and I do plan to design another one this winter when I am shut in with the cold and snow. 

Take care, enjoy life, we only have one chance at it, so make it the best you can.
