Costumes and events from October

It's been a while since I've written a proper post on this blog. I'm always trying to stay motivated with crafting by using the monthly blog hop and sharing social media posts. But I have a few photos to share, so i'll post them all in one place. This is a few of the many things i have been doing this month. 

We went to a friend's annual pumpkin carving party, and after 5 or 6 years attending, we finally won the covetous 1st place trophy for our franken-pumpkin. There were more kids participating this time so i think we got an advantage from their votes.

They also gave us some creative laser-etched wooden tombstones with personalized messages for each adult.



Earlier that morning (this is how busy we've been!), we went to a Fortnite themed birthday party! It was really awesome how my friend made so many detailed decorations and Fortnite themed snacks. The  pictures below are rice crispy med kits made with roll ups and icing, chug jug juice and mini chug jugs, and a treasure chest with more juice and snacks. 


 They even had a small Fortnite pinata with candy goodies inside!



These next three pictures are some items I have finished in October. 


Lastly, I participated in my job's costume contest, and my crochet hat and beard and lumberjack (jill) outfit won second place!



Lorenzo and Baxter waiting for trick or treaters last night.


I hope you enjoyed your October! What did you do? Share them on my What Are You Doing? blog hop!

What Are You Doing? October 2018 blog hop


Is it October already? Half of the month has flown by already. September was a busy month as well, including my birthday and some big changes at work. I haven't completed any projects in the past couple of months, but I hope that this weekend will give me a few hours to myself and my crocheting. I even had some ideas to decoupage some jars I've been saving for the past couple of years. The fall season is the best time to create! The weather, however, is another topic. Why is it still hot in Florida?!

What are you working on? Got any current WIPs (works in progress) that you'd like to share? Have some vacation posts? Got any how-to videos posted this month? You can share whatever creative outlet your interest is in. Share a link from your blog, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, etc! 

Thank you to the people that shared posts in August! I hope you can join for this month!
