Kitty Halloween
I made this Halloween costume for the cat the other day. It did not take very long, but the cat hates it! hahaha Here are some iPhone pictures of Skweaks in her costume (which will probably be taken apart soon).
Do you ever force your pets to wear clothing?

November 4: Fall Wreath
Pattern # 308: Fall (Leaves, Candy Corn, and Turkey) Wreath
I was not sure about this pattern at first, but I think it can be cute. I may have to do some adjusting -- but it will work! haha

November 2: Candy Corn Cat Sweater - COMPLETED
Pattern # 305: Candy Corn Cat Sweater
This came up during my search for all things candy corn / Halloween and made me giggle. At first I was like - oh heck no I will never make this. Then I thought, you know, my cat might actually wear this. She (well the girl at least) like small places, so she might like clothes! hahahaha
Wonder what Matt will do if I ever try to put this on her??
----------------------
Updated 9/20/11: Answer: Matt will laugh at me and ask why I tried putting this candy corn costume on the cat! haha Skweaks was definitely confused, and did not like the sweater.
I am pretty sure I will take this apart, now that I have pictures. I know that I will never put it on her again (it's a bit small and she hated it). However, it was fun to make! I think I will turn it into some candy corn!

October 31: Candy Corn - COMPLETED
Pattern # 304: Candy Corn
Happy Halloween! Today's pattern is one of my favorites from Halloween week (or week and a half -- more patterns this week!) These candy corn just look like you could eat them!
Today is the last day to link up your pumpkin picture and enter the giveaway (you have until midnight)! And don't forget, you can always email me a picture if you don't have a blog!
-------------------
Updated 9/29/2011: I made a few candy corns, and how cute are they? I love the way they turned out. I actually thought the larger size was a little too big, so I decreased rows and changed colors earlier on the smaller two. Cute little things these are!

October 30: Monster Finger Chapstick Holder -- COMPLETED
Pattern # 303: Monster Finger Chapstick Holder
Halloween is only a day away, and I don't know about you, but I needed something ghoulish today! I found these monster finger chapstick holders, and they fit the bill. Will you rock this? And I love Girl on the Rock's web image thingie -- a tiny ball of yarn with knitting needles! So cute!
Tomorrow is the last day to enter the Pumpkin CAL giveaway, go ahead... link up!
----------------------
Updated October 20, 2013: I love finishing projects. Even if they are random and you don't quite know what to do with them. This is one such example. Although I did get a good laugh when Matt asked for chapstick and I handed him this. My biggest problem is that it somehow look rather phallic to me. Hopefully that's just me!

October 28: Little Bat - COMPLETED
Pattern # 301: Little Bat
How cute is this little bat? I would make him with black yarn, but I still think he is just adorable. He looks very Disney to me! Now, I really need to head to the store and pick up some safety eyes!
The link up is still active for the CAL, head on over and check out what all the pumpkins look like in our little pumpkin patch!
------------------
Updated October 15, 2013: I wanted to finish this cute little guy before Halloween this year, and I did! It's just sitting on the entryway though. I should really put some fishing line through him and hang him. Right? So it looks like he's flying?

October 27: American Girl Pumpkin Costume - COMPLETED
Pattern # 300: AG Pumpkin Costume
Wow. I cannot believe I am at pattern number 300 already. And I have 49 followers. My how this little blog has grown! I found this (and another) costume pattern back when I was searching for American Girl patterns. I love how cute it is. Be sure to click on the link to see all of Elizabeth's pictures. I really need a daughter who likes dolls! haha
And, remember to link up on my Pumpkin Crochet Along for a chance to win the awesome prize. I finished my little guy and plan to post the pictures later today, along with a picture from a reader!
-----------------
Updated November 8, 2012: I finished this little outfit a few weeks ago and I think it's darling. I just hope I have daughters who love American Girl Dolls someday!
Your doll can wear the outfit alone -- or with boots! I know they don't match, but I couldn't resist!

October 26: Candy Corn Hat - COMPLETED
Pattern # 299: Candy Corn Hat
I made this gorgeous beanie for my nephew, Austin. It was super fast to make, and will make any newborn look like a Halloween candy! haha I was going to make some for my etsy, but then I saw that you cannot resell these. Oh well. I now have lots of yarn for making candy corns and other fall items.

And of course, we need a few pics of baby Austin wearing his new hat!
My coworker says we look related in this last pic. I dunno, but he sure is a cute! Thanks to my Aunt Katie (that's his Grandma) for taking the pics!

October 25: Roll Candy - COMPLETED
Pattern # 298: Roll Candy
Hello lovely readers! My apologies for this last weekend. I was super busy and realized just last night that I had not posted any patterns since Wednesday! I have quite a few days to play catch up on. Mind you, I have all of the patterns for the month (and half of December - Christmas patterns are quite easy to find!) picked out and meticulously handwritten on a calendar. In fact, I also add if I am going to be making the project for someone, and if so, I put their name down and the color. Impressive, I know. Anywho, yesterday was the start of Halloween week (as you will find out soon, haha). Today's pattern is a fun one from Lion Brand.
Also, today is the start of our crochet along. More details later in the day!
---------------
Updated 9/29/2011: I finished up a whole bunch of candies (candy corn, pinwheel candy, this candy) in one day. I was babysitting and the sweet girl that I watch took two naps that were two or three hours each. This was a fun way to use up yarn. I just wish I could think of a creative way to display them in the home...

October 24: Pinwheel Candy - COMPLETED
Pattern # 297: Pinwheel Candy
It's Halloween week! I am posting candy tomorrow, which you have already seen, because I am currently backposting! haha I love how cute these little candies are!
Oh, and before I forget. I have exciting news!!! I opened up my etsy shop! I am so excited about it! I created a page for it on facebook, but now I'm confused with all the pages and linked blogs and on and on. I don't really know what is what anymore! haha You can check out my etsy here, and guess what? I made my first sale! Thanks Lora! :) I hope to list more items later this week! Check me out at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/megncreations

Updated 9/29/2011: I feel so productive today as I have posted so many completed projects [roll candy, candy corn, arches square]! Whew! Glad to knock some things off my to do list! Sorry for the less than stellar pictures. It was late and my camera is like a zillon years old. I have been having fun with picnik photo editing though. Too bad it can't take a crappy grainy pic and make it nice... at least I can use some fun text to hide it! hahaha
