Halloween Crochet

I managed to finish a couple Halloween things this year. I did a "Halloween Tree", using this pattern with only one strand of yarn and an H hook. I used a cone from some crochet cotton I had and it fit perfectly. The hat, spiders bats and skulls are those plastic rings from the Dollar Store. The hat, too.

 And I was thinking of what else I could make. I wanted to do a ghost but I wanted something "more". I thought "I should just crochet a ghost and add a spinner to the bottom." So that's what I did. I used this ghost pattern. You could probably use any spinner pattern, there's free ones out there. I don't even remember what one I used.  I hung the ghost up on our front porch (I took this picture upstairs). I wanted to another spinner Halloween thing but... Maybe next year.

RIP Jetta :(


 Our beloved Jetta passed away a week ago today. 😭  It was sudden. She had never been sick; then on Thursday morning she started vomiting all day. Friday she didn't vomit as much; I thought she was going to get better. Then Saturday morning she woke me up at 5 vomiting very bad. And she couldn't even walk. I took her to the Urgent Care veterinarian (her vet). They couldn't see anything wrong with her externally. But they did a blood test; she had kidney failure. 😭💔  I didn't want to see her suffer any longer. I didn't want to put her down, either. 😭 But it was the most humane thing to do for her. We all miss her a lot. She was a good dog. We had her since she was 14 weeks old; for ten years.
