Are you ready for the Holidays?

Here is the start of the Holidays.

Halloween Hot Pads.

M&M's any one?

My version of the M&M people. Well one of them any way. But she doesn't look much like the Green girl, Muscle one.

O, well back to the creative stage for her and see if we can't make her look more girlish.

International Crochet Day

I have not blogged in a while. Over the summer I was running a nana camp for my grandkids. But, now I am back and ready to blog and get back into my knitting and crocheting.
I have started out with International Crochet Day. I have a friend who keeps saying she wants to start back into crocheting but hasn't done it yet. So I put together a little gift package for her . It is not much, but a begining.

Time to get started my friend.

I made these three fruits for my Husband. He was wanting them for work. The people he works with can not have these fruits due to health reasons, that is why they have the sad face.
I found the crochet banana pattern on ravelry.The tomatoe and the orange were very easy to knit.
