having fun this weekend!

wow what a busy week...uh yeah i know tell me something we haven't heard before..okay crazy but a good week. Let's see...on Tuesday i went birthday shopping for Turner..we had football practice mon-weds, football game on thursday, the cornmaze with cubscouts tuesday, turners birthday Weds..finally nothing Friday, Turners birthday party at the bowling alley Saturday and sewing day in between the stuff on Friday through Sunday....so here we go..backwards in order of things...
Today i started out with crocheting this cute apple hat! I realized that the color was matching the little hat that i received as a gift with an order from a lovely lady over in the UK. Her granny Madge knits them....so of course i had to make matching dresses for the girls. Raven i think is upset though that her hat isn't an apple....Here Stormy gives her a shove for their photo shoot...


ahhh nice and comfyRaven and her hand made hat from Granny Madge and dress by me...i have been having fun drafting my own patterns for the Strawberry Shortcake dolls and the Blythe girls! I made the gnome last year..i think i need to make some more..they are so cute!Stormy's apple hat is my second attempt at amigurumi crochet...i didn't have a pattern so i winged it and am tickled with the results...i kept seeing these hats and have wanted one of my own for a quite a while...then i found the fabric and made the outfits...
I recently finished decorating the Garden Room in the Expedit shelves...the knitting is one of the treasures i found when i was on an outing with Joanne and Catherine..it was on a card..ha ha. This is Seville(l) and Paprika (r)
my lime haired Pistachio is still on her mission interviewing all the frogs around here to see if one turns into her dream prince....
Calico is happy and warm in her new hat and cape that i finished yesterday!
Kendall has been in the mood for halloween, so she ventured out to an abandoned cemetary...and finds a new friend...she has her magical dragon with her to keep her safe....she doesn't seem to think it matters that he is the smallest creature around...
Things get a bit too scary for her...
she is wearing an outfit i made on Friday! i just love all of the details on this. It is made with a pattern i bought on ebay...the directions are all in Japanese...so sometimes construction is a bit of guessing game..lol So....our adventure on Tuesday was going through a corn maze with the cubscout pack 300. It was intimidating at first..but then i realized it was loads of fun!

some of the cubscouts..Jonathon joined this year too..so we are going to have loads of fun this year!
we had stations to find and had a card to punch. There was a sheet with a sort of map and clues on where the 10 stations were...it was really pretty cool!

here is the arial veiw of the actual maze...The man uses coloring book pictures and a portable GPS to create his mazes..you can find them on google gps as the M-66 corn maze
Last but not least...Turner turned 9 on Wednesday..this was his main gift...they have been playing it nonstop this week.... so a fun but busy week....and finally some R&R time for mamma...now off to bed to start the next crazy week of my life

love and hugs to you all!!
