Trader Joe's helped me finish the Halloween decorating.
They have wonderful brooms scented with cinnamon.
My front door area is completely covered.
When you walk to the front door you see pumpkins,
the brooms parked, and the scent of cinnamon.
It's really nice!
I like the succulents at Joe's.
This one is perfect for the Day of the Dead.
Around the neighborhood,
my favorite dragon is back!
I met this fisherman on a morning walk.
Very clever!
Finally!
Fall arrived.
We don't seem to ease into any season down here.
We went from 90 degrees one day to 55 the next.
That meant it is chili time!
My Halloween mug from Fiesta is the perfect size for chili.
You can find my recipe (easy) here.
YUM!
The baby afghan is finished.
I found this wonderful Patchwork Animal pattern book from Annie's Attic.
Great stash busters!
I decided to make the Teddy Bear first.
Every child should have a Teddy Bear.
Here he is all finished.
Now I'm trying to decide which animal to crochet next!
Maybe the puppy?!
Maybe the puppy?!
Wishing YOU well and much joy!

ReplyDeleteGreat Halloween décor, cinnamon scented brooms sound gorgeous and the trick or treaters will be pleased to find somewhere to park their brooms when the time comes!Love your neighbours dragon.
ReplyDeleteThe teddy is super, hope you make the puppy next.
Happy Mosaic Monday.
Happy MosaicMonday... lovely this hooked bear!
ReplyDeleteHello, cute Halloween decorations. I have been wanting to go to our local Trader Joe's, I keep putting it off. The crochet animals are cute. I like the bear. Happy Sunday, have a great new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteIt is a cool dragon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute crocheted teddy bear. I love the patchwork of colours. Lots of fun Halloween decor!
ReplyDeleteYou have great Halloween decorations! Halloween is not yet a big thing in Finland, but maybe it is coming. Happy MM.
ReplyDeleteFun Halloween decorations, there, Snap! It has been much cooler here --my kind of weather and autumn color is winding down.
ReplyDeleteLove your knitted stuffies--very colorful and cute!
Oh that bear!! What a lucky baby that will be. TJs is the most fun store to shop at -- gotta go early in the day to the one here ; it gets so crowded by mid-afternoon you are lucky to find what you wanted.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could follow directions and make these too. I like the lion...oh but the giraffe is very cute too! You should make them all! lol Love that mug for chili! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHooray for Trader Joe's. We are fortunate to have one in our neighborhood, too!
ReplyDeleteWhich animal to crochet next? I vote for the puppy.
And thanks for the chili recipe! Just in time for this beautiful season which you've just made even lovelier!
Luv your Fall photos and that teddy bear is soooo adorable
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week
much love...
Great decorations everywhere! I love the skull planter.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that there are some constants in our traditions, like neighbors who decorate the same way each year. As comfy as a pair of old jeans! I love your teddy bear … I vote you do the giraffe next. I have a soft spot for a stuffed giraffe, especially in those colors!
ReplyDeleteThis blog is delightful. I found you through Debra, and you shared my Trumpeter Book. Yay!
