Free Beetlejuice Sand Snake Inspired Pumpkin Crochet Pattern

     I came across the cutest little Mickey Mouse pumpkin on Ribblr but it's paid. It's just a simple pattern. Right? Well, for whatever reason Sandworms are coming to mind. I need it. I have this thicker yarn and I don't know what better thing to use it for. So I was thinking of making the mouse head but replacing one small pumpkin with a sandworm and calling it even. Hmm, maybe even make the big pumpkin striped and the ones on top green and purple. So many different designs are coming but by far this is my favorite. Let's get into it!

Materials: 

3.5 , 4 , 4.5 , 8 mm hook

4 weight yarn in: red, green, white, black, brown, and blue

6 weight yarn in purple

Scissors

Darning needle

Wire & Safety Eyes (optional)

Abbreviations: US Terminology

ch - chain

MR - Magic Ring

sk - skip

hdc - half double crochet

sc- single crochet

( ) - Repeat

inc - increase

BLO - Back Loop Only 

FLO - Front Loop Only

turn - turn work

dec - decrease

sl st - slip stitch

dc - double crochet

36.) Connect both sides of the pumpkin, sc or sl st down the side.

37.) FO - Leave a long end for sewing both sides! 

Sewing : Sew the bottom closed! Once you get the sides sc or sl st together, you will have a big open circle! Kind of like a cuff if you were making clothes! You need to string the needle through the top of each rib, pull tightly as you work around! Start stuffing your pumpkin now and well! You want it to be round and juicy! Then string the needle through the middle and sew the top just alike!

Snake: Black and White ( 3.5mm )

NOTES

* Each ROUND ends with a sl st, ch1 *

** Every 2 rows change color, I started with white and ended with white **

*** Inv CC: To make an Inv CC, start by sticking your hook into the stitch, yarn over, and instead of yarning over for the second time and pulling through, we will add and yarn over with the new color! Pull the yarn through the loops and you're done! ***

**** Stuff throughout the process, DON'T wait until the end!!!! ****

Free Whipped Cream Crochet Pattern

     So I caved. I ended up seeing @croutonscrochets post about this here Ba-Nessie Split on IG and I couldn't not have him. I bought the pattern. I noticed though, there was no whipped cream! How can it be a banana split without whipped cream and sprinkles?! There were at least the cutest little cherries! So, upon looking online I noticed there weren't any whipped cream patterns I liked. I for sure wasn't going to spend $2 on something so small I could replicate! So, I freehanded some whipped cream and I'm going to have the pattern free for anyone else who'd like to use it too!

I used a 4.5mm hook

Take #2

     I just wanted to start by saying a big thank you to those who support me and have been supporting me!!! It has been an amazing ride. Now I'm selling merchandise through social media, hopefully here too! I've been calling them Smiler Gifts. I hope, any and each gift will bring a smile! Not every day is easy! I'm here to say, you're never alone! I care! I'm always here!!

What have I been up to? How am I?...  How are you?

    Crochet has been an almost instant fix for my anxiety. Helps with my depression. Reminds me of the bigger things. Keeping my eyes on the ultimate prize. I have done a lot of work on myself. I have learned to be patient, love, respect, discipline, and dedicate myself. I hope you have been too. Don't give up now. It's just beginning.

It's about to get crafty!

    I just wanted to say I appreciate you so much. I had lost hope in helping. I figured there must be other ways to approach it. I couldn't figure it out. Since I have had so much time at home, I've started not only making scrapbook/ desk items but there's been one hobby since I was a kid that I haven't picked back up. It's been on my mind a lot lately. I've been hearing it a lot through my friends, family, social media, and everywhere. I swear it's been calling me. Believe it or not, it's crochet! I used to crochet beanies for the NICU babies back home when my sister had her first! I knitted as well but I really like the hook concept. Much simpler. Fewer things to carry so to say. I only need one hook instead of two needles. 

    It's been a nice outlet for me. Not only have I made more things I can count, but I can also take this wherever I go. Car anxiety is the worst, I can't get anxious if I'm not paying attention to anything outside of the car. Hahah! I have turned it into an addiction overnight. I'm not upset, T maybe a little bit, but it's okay! All of the bundles of yarn will be things soon! I've started with making my roommate's cat a hat! It turned out cute! The kitty loved it! Then I started on lighter/vape holders! They can be used to hold many more things. Some look like mushrooms with the tops, and the others just look like a vape necklace hahah! I couldn't have been happier when I saw how they all turned out! I'm going to start selling the items I crochet, so stay tuned for more! I'm going to also keep updating the look and make this better to use. Start making sections for my patterns and makes! I call 'em' smiler gifts! Don't forget about Etsy! @unwindingmadness
I might start posting patterns I make too, for free! What do you think? Comment below!

Exploding what?

June 19th, 2022

    So I have gotten this idea that I’m going to surprise T with an exploding box. I grabbed everything from my house and started working on it. I even created a template and instructions guide since I made one before. Plus I couldn’t find the website that I used years ago so that was a super bummer. I honestly didn’t want to read a million different ways to do it. I just wanted the measurements to be honest. Make sure it was going to come out correctly. Other than that though I figured you guys might want to try! Should I make a tutorial for you? Maybe for that special someone to show them you care? I started creating this one just for the simple fact I want T to know how much he means to me and how he affects my day-to-day life. He makes it so much better. He makes my life so much easier. This is something he can sit on his desk. Interact with. He can see it anytime. 

   I’m not even going to lie. You already know that I’ve been going through a depressive phase again. I’ve been trying to do things that interest me to get out of it. I do know T can make me smile anytime and doing something for him makes me motivated and helps me get out of this depressive episode. Gets me doing something I like but also something to make him smile. Just as much as he makes me smile. 

Let me know if I should make another one and have you guys see the process and you can start creating too! More smiles for everyone 🥰 

An Enneagram Guide.

 June 17th, 2022

So I started reading this book, it’s pretty cool. I may or may not suggest it. If you do want a good cheap find for a book, “Take Care of Your Type” -Wilcox. I’ve picked this one up at Five Below to be completely honest. I always find eye-catching books in there. They have a bunch of tarot things, crystals, dreams books, healing, business strategy, kids books, and so much more. This one in particular is talking about each enneagram type. How they think. What best helps them. What words of affirmation to use. What coping mechanisms work best. Different types of self-expression. It starts with idealists. Would you guys like for me to give little insights on the book and tips? Comment below!

I can be proud of myself.

 June 16th, 2022 

    It was such a good day! We left early as mess today. We had to get some green, if you know what I mean. Then we decided since we were out and about we might as well get everything else done. So of course we stopped to see the bunnies and play with them. We came home and I worked on the blog. I honestly have been putting it off. I had to catch up. I posted a bunch. Did more marketing. 

    I forgot to tell you too! I’ve started trying to eat healthier. Actual home cooked meals. It’s been very nice. T man is more than amazing. He never fails to get me to eat. He’s always trying to cook or make me something. No matter the time of day. I’m still working to get up to three meals a day. As well as getting it on a good normal eating schedule. Lmfao. Working on it. 

    Overall my mental state is starting to become more stable. Within the last past month I’ve noticed I haven’t had a manic episode. I am SO proud of myself you have no idea. How are you doing? What have you been doing to cope?
