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

- 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. 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. 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
