As the leaves begin to turn golden and the crisp autumn breeze fills the air, it's the perfect time to cozy up with a crochet project. And what better way to celebrate the season than with handmade crochet pumpkins!

But someone who crochets for a hobby isn't a worthy adversary — Wednesday Addams
That's what she thinks when the truth is that more than half of us are actually crocheting to keep ourselves from choking people.
To be honest, though, as someone whose main hobby is crocheting, I am unquestionably not worthy of being an adversary to Wednesday Addams. She'd kick my butt in 2 seconds -- I wouldn't even need piranhas!
Have you ever heard of Disneybounding? Disneybounding is a growing trend among Disney fans that involves dressing up in outfits inspired by their favorite Disney characters, without wearing actual costumes.
Why do people Disneybound?
This trend is particularly popular among Disney adult fans in Disney Parks because the park has a dress code that states that guests ages 14 and up are not allowed to wear costumes in the park. Disneybounding was a way for Disney adult fans to express their creativity while still adhering to the theme park's dress code.
And when you want to bring up the creativity notch one more level, let's try making our own Disneybounding pieces by crocheting them! I've been taking subtle elements of my favorite Disney characters and turning them into what I imagined would be if they were living in the real world now.
There's only one more month until Christmas! The kids couldn't wait to get the house decorated and have been begging us to get the Christmas tree out. So my home has been ready to receive Christmas since the day after Remembrance Day.
So we got our Christmas Tree out now that we actually have a place for it, and of course, our Crochet Christmas Tree that I made a few years ago. I love how this flat Christmas Tree with flat Christmas bauble ornaments has continued to be a part of our family Christmas tradition.
As I am typing up this blog post, my kids are drafting up their letters to Santa thanking him for their present last year and asking for something new this year.
Christmas Advent Calendars are a great way to continue building up the excitement until Christmas morning and make wonderful gifts for kids, especially when they're reusable year after year!
While shopping on Etsy, I've found some beautiful Advent Calendars that I thought I'd share with you all!

I loved Halloween as a kid! Like, what kid doesn't? Walking around the neighborhood in the evening, all dressed up, walking door-to-door collecting candy that will last me for the next year.
When I got a little older, maybe 10 or 11 years old, I found myself much more self-conscious and didn't enjoy dressing up for Halloween as much. Halloween also became a lot more "sexy," and I didn't really vibe with that.
I returned home from Disneyland about a month ago, and I have been going through a Disney withdrawal since. I've been watching walkthroughs of the park and listening to music that they normally play on Main Street, USA.
It's incredible what kind of effect Disney Parks have on me.
Disney people are my kind of people. There's something about that place where once you walk through the gates, it's suddenly OK to let your inner child free. In other words, I'm not ashamed to be a Disney adult.

Once you step into the park, it's not silly anymore to wear mouse ears, sit in a pirate ship and fly above London with Peter Pan, or get excited to meet Mickey Mouse even though you know it's an actual person inside that costume. It even felt natural to wear a Minnie Mouse polka-dot dress out in public!
Cosplay is not restricted to just Halloween. You'll normally see cosplayers fully dressed as their favorite characters at special conventions and festivals.
Cosplay costumes are not just any off-the-rack costumes that you would normally find in a store. Many dedicated cosplayers set out to create their own costumes because they want more detail in them.
Cosplay has really exploded since the 1990s. I've seen many amazing cosplay costumes, but here's something different. They're not just crochet costumes. They're crocheted cosplay costumes!

Princess Anna's Coronation Dress
I came across this Princess Anna coronation evening gown on Reddit, and I had to take a second glance. What is this costume doing on the crochet subreddit? I had to zoom in to take a closer look.
I can't believe that it's 100% crocheted. This took Transatlantic Crochet approximately 18 months to complete, and it's absolutely a masterpiece from the original Frozen movie!
She admits that it is quite heavy (around 5kg) and that she needed extra support around the waist so that it doesn't drag down the top.
