Rebel Princess

The Force is strong in my household lol, well according to my 6 and 3 year olds it is! I thought my baby girl could join in the Star Wars fun with her brothers so I came up with my Rebel Princess hat pattern. Needless to say we're all in love with the results and I hope you will be too! * PLEASE DO NOT SELL PATTERN. You may sell items made from this pattern but I do ask that you mention Maw Beez as the designer. <3 *

Ready for Fall

Is Fall here yet??? Nope, three more weeks till school starts and I am so ready for summer to be over with. This heat AND humidity is killer on my skin and hair. I find myself longing for the leaves to change colors and that oh so good smell of a fireplace at work. 
On that note, I want to share with you my cute little pumpkin pattern. It is the perfect decor that you can use all throughout the Fall season. I love displaying them on my mantle and I am sure you will too <3

H hook
Redheart With Love yarn in autumn orange and dark brown
Needle for weaving

*From here on out work each stitch in the top 2 stitches of previous hdc*

With WS facing you, slip stitch ends together and finish off leaving extra long tail for weaving. Flip inside out so RS is showing.

Weave tail around bottom edge as if making a drawstring bag and pull tight closing bottom.

With same tail weave top edge but before pulling tight fill with stuffing. Pull tight closing your pumkin. Using your needle sew the top close then push your needle through the middle out the bottom,pull tight and sew close bottom opening. Push your needle through the middle and out the top once more, pull tight ( this shapes your pumpkin) . Finish off/Weave in.
