Wonderful Weekend...

So this weekend started with a box of delicious cookies. I made a trip to Trader Joe's. It's been awhile since I've shopped the unique food items so I thought i'd stop in to see what there seasonal items were on display. I bought these cookies and they are delicious!

and also bought these Pumpkin Spice herbal blend tea. I am trying this today! A great afternoon beverage... oh and of course with the cookies!

my kids think they are funny... we were out to dinner at Luna's Pizzaria, my favorite family italian restaurant in clovis!

I put all of these lovely colored yarns in my basket... then I sat, looked at them to see what I could make. Well, I made some wristwarmers. I love color!

These are my Fiesta Fingerless Gloves. They were really easy to make but yes, needed a lot of yarn colors. I love them! So bright and cherry! A thought... make them yourself, click here for the pattern! So, you don't want to buy all of the yarn colors... click here for the pattern kit!

Then I thought of course I will make a pattern to load in my Etsy shop, and then thought... it would be hard to buy all of these yarn color skeins so I created a Crochet Pattern Kit. I will send all of the yarn needed along with the pattern. Pretty clever I might add.

Time for a break, I made some queso for my family to enjoy.... yes it was yummy! Of course it was a Pioneer Woman recipe. I just love her easy recipes... so tasty! You can find it here.

Doesn't it look delicious! It was.

Then I made another pair of fingerless gloves with my yarn selections. I love these colors too! Again, they are cheery!

I even love the snippets of yarn from the projects I made. I may put these in a large jar just to admire my hard work!

So now I am working on a camouflage beanie to add to my shop. So happy Monday you all! And don't forget to enter my giveaway listed here on my blog! Ends tomorrow!

Fall is near!

Yes! I enjoy fall... I really do. I love the color changes of the leaves, the cooler temps, warm beverages and sweatshirts. I'm looking forward to football games with friends, sitting by the fire pit in the backyard, and fall decorating. I recently moved and now I have lots of trees to hang cute stuff. Excited! Today I am posting some finds from Pinterest.

What a great idea. I think I may have to do this! Wrap Indian corn around a pot of mums.

I love these boots! This comes from Pinned on Pinterest. Looks so comfy.

Why not dress up the table in the backyard. I'm thinking I will do this on Friday.

Yes... Pumpkin is almost here! I am thinking pumpkin bread, pumpkin shakes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin lattes.... yummy!

I really love this! I may have to put one of these on my porch!

I love simple decorations. I have brown paper bags.. yep, I am doing this.

I will do all of this.. well I need to find a corn maze.

I think the porch is an important area of the house. It gives friends and family first impressions of who and what is inside. I will decorate my porch this week! This website gives some really great ideas. Snap Creativity

Wow... a lot of work went into these cookies! I make frosted cookies too. I've found a new recipe and hopefully will make some cookies in September to share.

Well.. I hope you got some fall inspiration from these photos. I know I did. I just love the fall. I am thinking I will have to make a trip out to storage because my holiday decorations are there. Happy Labor Day everyone! I'm working today but hope to catch some baseball later.
