Wow It's Been Awhile!!! Let's See What Has Been Up???

Time flew by .....when I realized that I hadn't posted in awhile. So................... I am going to try and catch up...let's see on Sept 30th-Oct 3rd I went up to Big Bear with my stitching friends. :) It was a terrific weekend, warm, Oktoberfest, and we even went to the zoo. We got to visit a few different restaurants and of course visited our favorite yarn shop too!!

 This past week I have been making Halloween decorations and jewelry. this year I made "Spider Earrings" with matching necklace, they'll be on my "PBDProducts Blog" this weekend for sale. and some candy corn filled mason jars that I crocheted around, a witch and a pumpkin. I included a tea light that looks so pretty flickering like a candle when the lights are out. I am still working on my Ghost!! They were quite easy and fun to do and will post a pattern for them on my "Crochetoholic" blog and my "Pattern blog."

I also finished my project from my "Rainbow Skein" that the gals and I did back in March. That was really fun, but I can't post that one till I enter it in the contest at our Halloween party. :)

I also got to meet one of my pen pals last weekend. She lives in N CA and was here visiting and so we got together for a late breakfast. It was great to meet her and her hubby!! :)
