- CM Exclusive Design...Unleash a bit of Autumn Magic in your Home with New Thanksgiving Home Decor and Centerpieces
Below you will find unique creations and patterns I have designed exclusively for my customers. I go into the "hows" and "whys" you won't find them anywhere else. The Essence of Autumn Decor Autumn decor brings a sense of comfort through its rich colors and textures. Think about how shades of orange, gold, and deep burgundy mimic nature’s stunning transformation. For Thanksgiving, the dining table becomes a showpiece. Whether you're hosting a family gathering or an intimate dinner, your table should radiate the joy of the season. A highlight of this decor is the Turkey Gobbler Table Topper from The Crocheted Moon. It is more than just a centerpiece; it invites everyone to celebrate the festivities together. A hand-crocheted turkey gobbler table topper that adds charm to your Thanksgiving setting. Creating a Warm Ambiance with Centerpieces A well-crafted centerpiece can set the mood for your Thanksgiving gathering. It becomes the focal point around which laughter, conversation, and delicious food swirl. I wanted to create something with perfect balance of fun and beauty. The Turkey Gobbler Table Topper, complete with cheerful safety eyes and playful legs, brings warmth and personality to your celebration. Using vibrant variegated yarns gives each piece a slightly different look and a special uniqueness to each turkey which contributes flair and infuses your space with a touch of handmade love. But it's not just another pretty turkey. Beyond aesthetic appeal, functionality enhances the charm of decor. The Turkey Gobbler Table Topper is cleverly designed with a weighted internal bean bag, ensuring it stays upright during your feast. This practical feature allows you to focus on enjoying the gathering instead of adjusting decor. Add to this aesthetic with delightful Harvest Gnomes, like Henrietta and Abel. They bring whimsical charm to any setting. Abel & Henrietta the Harvest Gnome sporting a textured harvest hat, perfect for autumn decor. Unique Handmade Treasures Handmade pieces stand apart from mass-produced decor. Each creation from The Crocheted Moon carries thoughtful craftsmanship, ensuring that no two items are identical. With this thought in mind I wanted to add to our collection of Gnomes with a simple, rustic, gnome that embodied the feeling of the harvest and gathering in the bounty of autumn. Henrietta is showcased mainly in earth tones and shades of green with a suspender style jumper. I chose to do her hair in braided buns as I envisioned women in the past collecting the fruits and veggies in the field. Abel the Harvest Gnome complements Henrietta beautifully, enhancing similar attention to detail. His playful design shows rugged blue jean like overalls and bushy no-nonsense mustache and are finished of with a textured harvest hat adorned with miniature fall leaves and acorns. And I must confess....I'm in love the mini acorns! I think acorns are an under used fall decoration that gives just the right feel for the changing of the seasons. Bringing It All Together As you prepare for the Thanksgiving celebration, remember that the decorations you choose play a vital role in setting the tone of the occasion. To create a perfect Thanksgiving atmosphere, blend handmade pieces with your personal style. Incorporate natural elements like pumpkins, gourds, and seasonal flowers to elevate your theme. The unique designs from The Crocheted Moon beautifully complement traditional decor. Consider organizing your table with various textures—rustic wood, soft fabrics, and, of course, the charming hand-crocheted items. These can serve as conversation starters and warm reminders of the heartfelt effort put into creating them. #bloggingthemoonCM #CMexclusivedesgin #crochetedthanksgivingcenterpieces

Check this spot for new updates or changes to The Crocheted Moon or our products. Honeycomb's Fabulous Five The Honeycomb Hive: Original Villager Set is a celebration of imagination, seamlessly blending education and play. Let’s take a closer look at what makes these characters so special! Character Overview Each villager in this exquisite collection offers a unique personality and story. Collectible job cards have also been created for each villager showcasing colorful designs and engaging illustrations. The Queen The Queen embodies elegance and authority within the hive. Dressed in royal attire, she exudes confidence. Her collectible job card shares insights into her leadership role in the hive, teaching children about responsibility. The Queen's design encourages kids to embrace leadership qualities, inspiring them in group settings. The Guard Next, we meet the Guard—the diligent protector of the hive. His strong and vigilant attire ensures that the hive remains safe from intruders. The accompanying job card highlights his vital duties, showcasing the importance of teamwork. Studies show that kids who engage in role-playing games are more likely to develop strong collaborative skills. The Worker The Worker symbolizes hard work and determination. Dressed in functional attire, this character encourages children to appreciate effort in their daily tasks. Her detailed job card explains her role in collecting nectar and maintaining the hive, bringing to life the value of perseverance. In a survey, 74% of parents reported that their children who played with imaginative figures developed a greater appreciation for hard work. The Nurse No hive would be complete without the Nurse! This character represents health and care, bringing warmth to the group. Her calming outfit and job card stress the importance of nurturing one another, instilling empathy and compassion in young minds. Research indicates that children who engage in nurturing play are often better at understanding the emotions of others. The Baby Bee Finally, we have the Baby Bee, a cute and playful character that ignites joy and curiosity. This little one embodies discovery, encouraging kids to explore and learn. The Baby Bee's job card introduces children to the beauty of growth and learning, making her a cherished addition to the set. Imaginative play with characters like the Baby Bee can ignite a child’s enthusiasm for learning—something supported by 80% of early childhood educators. Collecting and Caring for Your Villagers The Original Villager Set appeals not just to kids but also to adult collectors. Each character features a wardrobe that adds depth to their stories, making them a must-have for anyone passionate about toys. Price Point At an affordable price of $42.00 ($4 discount when bought as a set), this set represents excellent value for high-quality collectibles. Parents seeking engaging toys that inspire creativity will find this collection to be both appealing and budget-friendly. Care Instructions The characters and their clothing are made from materials like non-toxic cotton and plastic, making maintenance easy for parents. These user-friendly care details allow kids to focus on what they love most—playing and creating! Bee Care Instructions: Spot Clean Only Air Dry Clothes Care Instructions: Machine Wash, Cold Do Not Bleach Do Not Tumble Dry Iron, High Do Not Dry Clean The care instructions are listed in the description of each character. Create a Buzzzzzz! Building a community around the Honeycomb Hive boosts engagement and excitement. Here are some ideas to strengthen these connections: Hosting Craft Events Consider organizing bee-themed craft events where children can design their own characters and maybe take a home baby bee of their own. Such activities can spark creativity while deepening their connection to the beloved characters. Educational Collaborations Have a bee themed classroom and allow your class to hold their favorite bee as reward or part of a learning game. You can also list "Be Attitudes" and discuss appropriate and kind behavior in the classroom. Specialized Gifts Children and adults alike are fond of these hardworking little creatures. Consider giving a unique gift to beekeepers or bee enthusiasts. Organize a bee-themed event such as a baby shower, birthday party, or special occasion, where you can feature a "Queen Bee." Adding to Your Collection The Honeycomb collection isn't limited to just these five adorable characters. Over the next several years, I plan to add at least four more villagers, each with a variety of wardrobe changes and accessories for the new and existing characters. And all good bees need a place of there own and there's no place like home especially for the Honeycomb Hive villagers. They love their plush hive done in a soft yellow and adorned with their favorite color of flowers. The crown is secured with an antique gold magnetic snap that makes getting in and out easy and is also fastened in the back to the hive with three brass rings. The whole hive including the base is stuffed with premium polyester fill to make it soft yet durable and strong during play. The hive can hold up to 9 bees. Measurements: 12 ½” H x 9 ¼” W, 29” circumference at the widest part. The buzz around the bee villagers is just beginning. So gather your hive and let the adventures unfold! Dive into this delightful world where play meets purpose and encourage your little ones and adults alike to discover the wonders of nature through imaginative play. Happy collecting! #bloggingthemoonCM #CMupdates # honeycombhivecollection Start Your Collection Here
- Stitches & Patterns...Crafting Handmade Love: Free Heart Pattern Included
Join me in discovering both new and traditional stitches, and in crafting simple-to-follow patterns that will enhance the beauty and diversity of any project you undertake. The Shape of Love This blog is dedicated to shapes. In crocheting, various shapes are used to craft your designs, and this month, the spotlight is on one shape in particular—the HEART! What can you do with this fabulous shape that we have chosen to symbolize the human element of love? Let me give you a few hints..... plush ornaments bookmarks garlands pillows coasters hot pads granny squares doilies keychains treat boxes borders, etc History of the Heart The heart shape has been used in art and other media for centuries, and has evolved in meaning over time. Origins Ancient texts Some say the heart shape comes from the writings of Aristotle and Galen, who described the heart as a three-chambered organ. Human anatomy Others say the shape is based on the human body. Plants Some say the shape comes from the leaves of ivy, water lilies, or the silphium plant. Nature The heart shape can also be found in the cross-sections of strawberries, cherries, and beetroots. Early depictions The first known depiction of a heart shape as a symbol of love was in a French manuscript from the 1250s. The heart was often depicted upside down until the 1400s. Renaissance The heart shape became popular in religious art, such as depictions of the Sacred Heart of Christ. It was also used as one of the four suits in playing cards. Modern use The heart shape is now used worldwide to represent love, emotion, and caring. The "I ❤ NY" logo, created by Milton Glaser in 1977, extended the heart's meaning to include civic feelings. #bloggingthemoonCM #stitchesandpatterns # heartsandlove To create your own symbols of love download the free pattern below.

- Stitches & Patterns...Crafting the Perfect Candy Cane: A Fun Curly Cue Ornament Pattern Included
Join me in discovering both new and traditional stitches, and in crafting simple-to-follow patterns that will enhance the beauty and diversity of any project you undertake. A Curly Technique Not only are crocheted curly cues enjoyable, but they are also highly versatile. You can incorporate a crocheted curly cue into anything you can think of. So, this month's feature is not a stitch, but a technique that is perfect for adding extra flair to your holiday projects. HOW DO YOU CURL IT UP?..... plush ornaments bookmarks shoe accessories gifts, etc And of course let us know in the comments what you think of the crocheted curly cue. Another Yummy Throw Back Like November's post show casing the Fall-fetti placemat pattern I am doing another great holiday throw-back to the Curly Cue Candy Cane Ornament. You'll have so much fun doing this technique that you'll have your whole neighborhood decked out in festive candy canes, but first I always like a little history with my creativity. Adding Sweetness to the Season Take a moment to appreciate the rich history and symbolism woven into this beloved holiday treat. Whether enjoying them as a sweet snack or incorporating them into your decorations, candy canes bring a touch of magic and tradition to the festive celebrations. Dating back to around 1900, the candy cane took on its distinctive shape inspired by the curved staff commonly carried by shepherds. However, it wasn't until later that the candy cane received its red stripes and peppermint flavor, evolving into the familiar treat we know and love today. Symbolism in Every Stripe Delving deeper into the lore, Christians have ascribed symbolic meanings to the candy cane's design. The red stripes are believed to represent the blood shed by Jesus on the cross, while the peppermint flavoring is said to symbolize the hyssop plant referenced in Biblical purification rituals. This hidden symbolism adds an extra layer of depth and meaning to the simple confection. Crafting a Sweet Tradition As we approach the festive season, why not add a personal touch to your decorations with a charming Candy Cane Curly Cue Ornament? This delightful crocheted ornament captures the whimsy of the candy cane while offering a fun and creative activity for all skill levels. To get started, follow the pattern below: #bloggingthemoonCM #stitchesandpatterns # festivecandycaneornament
- Stitches & Patterns...Stitching Up Memories: A Look Back at the Fall-fetti Placemat and Coaster Pattern
In need of a good DYI project or want to brush up on you crochet knowledge, well my dears, you have come to the right place. A look back Reviving a classic pattern for a fast DIY project to get your home ready for fall. The earlier blog post, Know Your Crochet....The Magic of the Ring , provided a quick guide on various methods to begin what crocheters refer to as the magic ring. This technique is essential for starting any circular or tubular pattern. Here is a recap of the magic ring, and you can access the PDF download for the Fall-fetti placemat & coaster at the conclusion of the blog. Round & round we go! I'm not talking about an exhaustive argument with yourself, I'm talking about making a circle. So, if you're tired of making squares and rectangles and would like to soften up your projects the magic ring is truly a magic way to begin. Unlike squares that are crocheted in rows (flipping back and forth between front and back), the circle or any cylinder type project is done in rounds...well because you go around and around lol! How to start your round ONE Ring of Chains Method: A lot of people just starting to learn crochet will use this method because it's the simplest to use. To start you chain 4 stitches and then use a slip st to connect the two ends and make a ring. Then depending on what stitch you're use (SC, HDC, DC) you'll stitch the number you need for your pattern, into the center of the ring. Pros: use to use Cons: leaves a hole in the middle Advantage: if your design requires an opening in the middle TWO Magic Circle Method: For this method you start with a loop and then make a slip knot around the loop. Once you have your slip knot you cans start adding your stitches around the loop. As you go around the loop you will notice that there is tail hanging down from the loop you created. Once you have the number of stitches you need you pull this tail tight until the hole in the middle closes up. After tightly closing your circle you join the round by slip stitching in the your first stitch. Pros: no open holes in the center and makes your work look more finished Cons: slightly harder to learn than the "Ring of Chains" Method Advantage: can use on any circular project (socks, hats, placemats...) that requires a ring to start THREE Chain Method: Start by chaining however many chains you need for your stitch, plus one. For example if you're using single crochet stitches you would chain 1 + 1 = 2, or if your using double crochet stitches you would chain 2 + 1 = 3. Then you would continue by making your first stitch in the chain farthest from the hook and so on until you have the number of stitches needed for your project. However, the slip knot you use to make your chain can cause a gap in our circle. But never fear you can remedy this by picking out the slip knot and pulling the remaining tail tight like you would if you were using the "Magic Circle". Pros: A versatile ring to use. You can leave the hole in the center if needed, or tighten the center. Cons: you have to add an extra step to tighten the circle unlike using the "Magic Circle". Advantage: can use on any circular project (socks, hats, placemats...) that requires a ring to start Picking favorites So out of the 3 methods above I really favor the "Magic Circle". I love the finished look of it and in my opinion it's actually the sturdiest circle to use and more often than "knot"...wink, wink...will not come undone. And the biggest reason....there is NO HOLE in the center of your project! I can't tell you how much that bugs me! Side note, unless you need the hole. #bloggingthemoonCM #knowyourcrochet #circlesofmagic In the spirit of giving! Since November IS the month of GIVING & GRATITUDE I am attaching a 2 for 1. You can use the same pattern to create festive placemats and matching coasters. Not a bad deal!! FALL-FETTI PLACEMAT & COASTERS

Its soft body is designed for comforting cuddles, making it a perfect companion for those late-night horror movie marathons or daring adventures through haunted houses.
