Fall is really here in AR! We are down to the 80's and 60's at night and the leaves are just barely starting to change....but it's wonderful! I hope wherever you are you are enjoying yourself and your season.
This is like Summer to me because now that the extreme heat is gone, I can actually go outside and get some work done....such as mulching, trimming, painting and repairing.
But today is all about what I got done craftwise this past week.....not too much but there was progress........
I finally finished the body of the Snowy Owl and now I'll be working on the head. It's not that it's a difficult or big project, it's just that I only do 1 or 2 rounds a day......
I worked on the big Halloween cross stitch project and you can definitely see progress. Yes, the owl is supposed to be upside down......
I finished all the granny squares for the Maple Leaf block and now I am crocheting them together.......
I worked on the Prism blanket and finally got to a new color! That took forever....it was getting really boring with that purple........
Here's a closeup..........
As for "haul/stash", I got some Christmas fat quarters for some Christmas projects....I also have yarn coming but it hasn't arrived yet..............
My crafting goals for the coming week are finish the star mug rugs, finish the crocheted maple leaf block, work on Snowy Owl, final finish Halloween ornaments for the grands, and hopefully finish cutting out Block of the Month #7. Plus, there are some project bags to make!
For you crocheters out there you need to take a look at this video on You Tube for a bunch of wonderful Fall crochet projects....amazing collection....BIG rabbit hole so be careful........I think you'll need to copy and paste. I don't know how to embed videos....I should learn..........

In other news...my flowers are blooming their little hearts out............so beautiful..........
This sweet little girl visited me this week............she looked right at me and didn't get spooked at all....just gingerly walked into the woods.......it looks like she's already changing color for the winter....they go from blondish to brownish...........
These acorns are from an oak tree in my front yard but not your normal oak or your normal acorns....these acorns are about as big as your pinky nail....very tiny! I go out and pick them up each day and I will "bake the bugs" out of them when I have a bunch and then use them around candles....
This is the way I've been feeling this week............lol! Can anyone relate to this?
Happy Trails!!!
