THE WITCH IS IN!

                                               HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL!!

We are all ready for the ghosts and goblins here--usually just a few as we live on
top of a hill where houses are spaced pretty far apart--so only the really, really
intrepid candy lovers make the hike...

This is the little quilt i made for us last year with my favorite ghastlies...

I used a really old batik that had also some wax resist done to it...sadly there isn't much of this fabric left...

***********************************************

Not a whole lot of any sewing going on here--except maybe a bit on paper for my Junk Journal
Traveler's Notebooks...

I did get my Snowflowers bordered and ready for backing:

I know ladies, ;000--I actually cut away some of those hand pieced hexies I had slaved over...

[I figured:
do I want this DONE or hanging another year in my closet??? And so ...................
WHACK-A-DOO, WHACK-A-DOO--(my husband couldn't watch, he said! He remembers many days in cars, sitting at the beach or on the deck watching me hand stitch them..
poor baby,. I told him: quilting is not for the faint of heart!!;((()]

*******************
On my pared down design wall sits my Plum Pudding with some bare trees surrounding it...

Do I add more? that is always the question
Well, for right now, with my Sewing Mojo nowhere to be found, it can
just simmer up there....

***********************
My Christmas Cacti are getting ready to bloom...they are early birds...

Isn't this a lovely pinky one??

I only have a few plants right now--all my African Violets died for some reason...;ooo

and on this note I will go and pre-heat my oven for my homemade oven fries to go along with the egg salad for sandwiches we are having for dinner tonight....
then I will be knitting while watching the World Series...

Hope your Halloween is
                                                  SPOOKTACULAR!!!!!!!!;ooooo

LITTLE THINGS

                                                  My  Japanese Garden

And, here are the four Geishas strolling through my garden.........

                                           I had just a few little snippets of that fabric left.....;)))
******************************************************************
and here is:

The start of "Plum Pudding"

**********************************************************************
I was able to sew the Japanese Garden borders  (above) this afternoon....
and then arrange my next little piece on design wall...

BUT, I am now restraining myself....just this little bit and no more....;000..

Arm/shoulder/hand is better, but not taking any chances....
hugs for a wonderful weekend...
