Happy Halloween!

Luna's First Pumpkin
Again, I know I am late but had to share! In honor of Luna's first Halloween we had to decorate Grammy's house for all of the candy seekers. I then decided to make my own version of these trees I have been seeing on Pinterest lately. They will be converted to the Christmas version soon!

For my Halloween version I simply wrapped them in purple and orange lights and tied strips of black landscaping fabric to the cage. I suppose you could use ribbon, but I went for what I had on hand. Here they are!-- My pictures are taken from a cell phone so they aren't the best quality.

The purple tree is in the background.

                 

Luna's Halloween Costume!

I know I am quite late on this, but better late than never! We have done so many things this fall. We made it to Carter Mountain for some apple picking, attended a beautiful wedding, made a trip to the beach, hosted a huge fall party and so much more! It has been quite eventful and beyond enjoyable.
   Since it was Luna's first Halloween I felt the need to create a very special costume. It is entirely crocheted (minus the white onesie). I do not have a pattern for most of it but used multiple patterns to create the hat, used a crocodile scale stitch worked in rounds for the leg warmers and just guessed on the poncho. Here is the pattern I used for those adorable shoes! I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Our friend who is a fabulous photographer captured these great images. If you are in the area check her out!!
