Little one is preparing to be a Sandworm for this Halloween. Praise the Maker! #Halloween #Books #Bookstodon #SciFi #SFF #Dune #FrankHerbert #Toddler #Halloween2026 #Parenting

A child in comfortable clothing stands next to a colorful play tunnel on a wooden floor. Nearby, there is a small red toy car and a toy dog being pulled along by a string. A wooden door is visible in the background.

Wife has finished her #Crochet Projekt. The wreath is made of wood, the rest is wool. It looks pretty cool!

A close-up of a charming hand-crocheted wreath bursting with autumn warmth. Crocheted orange slices in bright shades of yellow and orange sit alongside brown cinnamon sticks tied neatly with a white ribbon, while green leaves and plump red berries fill the gaps between them. The decorations are attached to a light-colored grapevine base, giving the piece a natural, rustic texture. Every element is lovingly handmade, with the vibrant yarn colors evoking the cozy scents and hues of fall and winter — oranges, spice, and berries gathered in one decorative circle ready to welcome the season.
