Crows in the Pumpkin Patch - A House Freebie

"October is the month 

When the smallest breeze, 

Gives us a shower of autumn leaves.

Bonfires and pumpkins

Leaves sailing down

October is red 

and golden brown."

With Thy Needle and Thread's October Word Play

Happy October , dear friends. 

Are you ready for a fabulous but busy month?  I sure am! This is going to be a month of spending time with the family, pumpkin patches, bonfires,  ball games and of course autumn camping trips.  Do you have anything special in store for the month ? Or are you just going to wing it and see what the month allows ? 

How about we start the month with a stitch? This house is called  Crows in the Pumpkin Patch.

 

-A  sweet little saltbox nestled among the pumpkin patch. There is only one problem - Caw ! Caw! Caw!  Do you hear that?  Yep, the pumpkin patch has  a flock of cranky but cute crows in it. 

 But that is ok. Many of y'all know that "crows" rank in my top 10  favorite birds.   LOL  So I am good with having a house surrounded by loud unruly birds. 

  I   stitched Crows in the Pumpkin Patch on 14 count coffee/ tea dyed aida using 14 DMC floss colors which included:  DMC 301, 524, 632, 730, 783, 829, 830, 842, 838, 975, 3371, 3776, 3857, 3863.  

BE LIKE A CROW
Collect shiny things

Hop happily down the street

For no apparent reason , scream loudly when you see your friends.

Have you started decorating for Halloween? 

Black cats, ghosts, witches and jacks are slowly creeping down my attic steps. I will be hustling and bustling about rounding them into place today.  If you are in the neighborhood , just stop in . I can always use a helping hand to wrangle these ghastly creatures. Hee! Hee!

Last night I started a new house stitch. Right now it is called Letters and Keys Home, but that is subject change. A few motifs may be removed too.      Next to my stitch is Lizzy's Prim Pin Keep  and Bee Balm
