Post 021: Harvest and Halloween Prep

Perhaps a late blog is better than no blog post! I'm a day late (and typically a dollar short), but I hope that if there are any readers out there, you will understand and maybe feel free to say hello in the comments.

Nice floral headband huh? :)

The past week or so has been filled with lots of work at my fulltime career as a QIDP. We joke about feast or famine as far as workloads, and there's quite a bit to be done at the moment. I continue to work in the office and also from the home office as needed. Meeting the challenge of a paperwork consumed occupation (no electronic records yet), and a remote office has presented unique challenges this year. Semi remote, with access to a printer at least once a week, puts me into my zone, and training others on scanning and online faxing platforms has saved so much time!

Anyhow, onto what we are all here to talk about, the WIPs and craft updates. We did some geocaching this week and I crocheted in the car in between stops. My current WIP is a gray throw in bulky acrylic for a commission. It's just DC rows and will have a DC 2 row border.

We really enjoy this hobby of geocaching!! Over the weekend we discovered a total of 3 trackables and moved them closer to their destined locations. We also completed our Wonders of the World Collection for the stamps and earned the earthcache stamp. Not bad for a couple just wanting to enjoy some fun and local sightseeing :)

The weekend before I spent some time with the besties' family and we visited a pumpkin farm with the kids and carved some pumpkins. It was a blast! The family has always been very welcoming and I consider them my own family. You have to know who you can count on and support in life and they are usually always there for me.

Sharing a quick link from yarnspirations to some free harvest and holiday patterns on the web to commemorate October:

Enjoy this October weather and the holiday prep. Get out and do something fun outdoors and give yourself the time you need to recoup and replenish. Til next time, stay crafty!
