Today is Day 5 of the Bewitching Bears Crochet Along, which means there is only one day left. Doing a one week crochet along instead of two weeks like I usually do makes it feel like it goes by so fast. I can't believe we are already almost done. For today's bear I made a Little Ghost Bear.

It is Day 3 of the Bewitching Bears Crochet Along and since this crochet along is only 6 days long that means we are already halfway done! Today's little bear is a very simple one, a Little Candy Corn Bear.

Today is Day 1 of the Bewitching Bears Crochet Along! I shared all of the details of the crochet along in a previous post, and I will update that post each day with the links to each new bear. But as a quick reminder of how the crochet along will work there will be a new pattern each day from today(10/20/25) through Saturday (10/25/25) for a total of 6 patterns. Each one will be a little Halloween Bear. The day 1 bear is a Little Witch Bear.

Friday Five: 5 Halloween Cricut Projects

  

October is halfway over which means Halloween is just around the corner. Because of that I wanted to do one last Halloween themed Friday Five this week, but I wanted a collection of projects that could be made kind of last minute, that don't take a lot of time. For that reason I decided to share 5 Halloween Cricut projects today.

My Mini Amigurumi Crochet Alongs are some of my favorite projects that I do throughout the year, but this year I have struggled to get them planned the way I had hoped. I did my last crochet along in the spring and had plans to do another in the summer and fall but the spring crochet along hit at an incredibly busy time for me with family stuff and by the time I finished I was feeling very stressed out and burnt out. I kind of just stopped posting all together. We had a lot going on with our kids and life was feeling so busy and overwhelming and I just kind of stepped away from my blog a little bit. I had ideas I was really excited about for a summer and fall crochet along, but I found that although taking a break was easy and kind of happened unintentionally without a lot of thought, starting back up and getting back on track is a lot of work and has to be a lot more intentional. I couldn't quite get things together enough to get those crochet alongs going like I planned, and I was kind of sad about it because I had some fun ideas and I really do love them. I eventually consigned myself to the fact that I just had to wait until Christmas, but then as I was working on some fall/halloween ideas so share this month I decided to throw together a little crochet along after all. It is just going to be a little bit smaller and a little bit different than past crochet alongs this time around. 

Friday Five- 5 Halloween Treat Tags and Favors

It is time for another Friday Five- the first one in October, so this week we are going to have another Halloween theme for the roundup. This time I decided to focus on Halloween treat tags and favor ideas and projects. 

Friday Five: 5 Hats to Crochet for Costumes

  

It is Friday again, so time for another Friday Five. I haven't posted at all since last Friday because it has been a busy week for my family and I have been focused on spending time with them. My oldest son left on a 2 year mission for our church a couple of days ago so the past week has been busy packing, preparing for him to leave, doing a few last things as a family before he is gone for 2 years. But like I mentioned last week I have so many fall projects to share, as well as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas projects, that I don't want to miss any more weeks of Friday Five. For today I have chosen a theme that is not really halloween specific, but it could definitely be used to help make halloween costumes. Today's five patterns are crocheted hats that can be used for Halloween costumes, or you can just make them for a fun hat to wear all fall/winter!

Friday Five: 5 Halloween Amigurumi

   

It has been a few weeks since I have done a Friday Five, but as we are heading into the last few months of the year Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are just around the corner. I have so many patterns to share for these holidays, as well as just for the fall and winter seasons- like hats and scarves, etc., that even sharing 5 of them every Friday there will be lots that don't make the cut. That means if I want to share as many as I can I need to get back to posting them weekly. For today's theme I decided on a Halloween theme, specifically-

I cannot believe it is already almost Halloween! I feel like October has just flown by for me. This time of year always does though. Once we hit October I feel like the months just start to fly by. We have Halloween in October so we are busy with preparing costumes and going to halloween activities and fall festivals at schools, church, and with family. Then we head straight into Thanksgiving and Christmas and all of the activities and parties and events that go along with those holidays.

Normally I am not super into Halloween, especially decorations. I don't love gory or scary stuff, so Halloween was never my favorite holiday. At least beyond dressing up kids to go trick or treating. But for some reason this year I have been more into Halloween decor. Maybe it is because the time I spent making all my little Halloween amigurumi but me in more of a Halloween mood. Whatever the reason, I have been enjoying making some Halloween projects lately. 

Reversible Half Square Triangle Table Runner

Lately I have been working on some sewing projects and I have discovered a love of precuts. I never used to use them, I think it felt like I was getting so little fabric when it was cut into 5" squares, or 10" squares, or strips, or whatever. But it sure is convenient to have all of that cutting done for you, and you get a variety of coordinating fabrics since it is typically a whole line. It is such a great way to get the fabric you need for a project like this one made entirely of charm squares (plus the binding fabric). 

Bubbling Cauldron Repost

The Bubbling Cauldron was the Day 3 pattern from the Halloween Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along. I have been having some website issues and this particular pattern was flagged and removed from my blog. I am in the process of trying to get it back up, and hopefully it will be soon, but in the meantime I know people have been trying to find the pattern and it is not there so I decided I would repost the pattern so that it is available somewhere while I try to get the issue figured out.
