Pixie Pumpkins

I finished my Pixie Pumpkins yesterday and just listed them over on Etsy.  They were fun to do , a change from the raggedy dolls. 

I listed them over on Etsy this morning.  I am working on a new raggedy doll pattern that I have never done and hope to have pictures to share soon.
We have been having some wonderful weather here this past week. Sunny and nice warm temps.  I was walking out in my backyard yesterday and found this cool mushroom
I just love the way it looks.....
And I had to take a picture of my red impatiens, soon enough they will be gone

Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend
Hugs

Haunted Pumpkin sticks, I finally finished them!

I finally finished these haunted pumpkin sticks
I started them last fall and set them aside. I had plans to finish them up right away in Jan or Feb. :) Did not happen...lol but it feels good to have finished them now. Mark another unfinished project off the list.
We had a nice labor day weekend. Stayed home and just took it easy.
The school year for the kids has started out good and I set some goals with Andrew. Autism has me learning right along with him. He struggles with reading so I hope to work hard at it with him. If any of you have suggestions I would love to hear them. Oh those math facts too!! :)
Between kids, homework, everyday stuff, taking care of my dear mom, I find that crafting relaxes me. It is my time to forget about it all. 
Enjoy the week ahead.
