October is here and Pumpkin Season is officially in full swing!

I am seeing pumpkins in the grocery store, in the fields, at the farmers markets and on front porches.

And the smell of pumpkin spice seems to be lingering everywhere . . . or perhaps the enticing smell has permeated my clothing?  After all, I have sort of fallen in love with Tim Horton's Pumpkin Spice Latte this year and it's starting to become a once a day habit . . . must stop!

As of late last week the weather here in southern Ontario finally turned to more closely resemble the fall season we are in.

A truly Canadian anecdote, last weekend we were swimming, this weekend we went apple picking bundled up in jeans and sweaters!

. . . perhaps it will snow soon? . . .

The cooler weather, and the hope of snow, has started me to thinking about Christmas knits & crafts (too soon? nah!  It's always time for Christmas!!), and designing some new winter-wear items.

This morning Hunny informed me that she wants her mittens to be green and purple sparkle this year.  Not sure what design will come of those colours . . .

Well, before I start in too far on that thought I will finish posting about the Crochet Simple Pumpkins.  They are quick and make adorable fall decor.  They have been a popular purchase from my Facebook shop lately!

I was going to do a photo-tutorial here on the blog but I got playing around with my Info-graphic Design Program again and ended up creating a Pin-able graphic instead!
