Halloween Night - A Halloween Freebie

 Boo! Did I scare ya? 

I sure hope not. Happy Happy  Halloween, Sweeties and Happy Saturday.

I made a little progress on "Boo To You! " by With Thy Needle and Thread , but not as much as I had hoped for. 

 Tonight little spooks and ghouls will be making their way to festivals, haunted houses and perhaps to some not so haunted houses for treats.  

I will only have 4 trick or treaters here- my nephews and grandsons. Not many trick or treat in the boonies! Too far out and not many houses. 

 Will you have trick or treaters?  

After the kiddos visit the town festival and go to the local "trunk or treats", they will make their way to my house where they are going to have a sleepover. 

My plan is to roast marshmallows at the fire pit in the late evening with the youngin's and then go on a late night walk through the holler into the deep dark woods up on the hill. Hee! Hee! I will keep you posted if the boys will go for it. Nothing scary mind you but I thought it would be fun to go on a late night hike or perhaps we will take the side by side. Who knows; we might see Mr. Owl  that is always hooting and hollering in the woods each evening.

I have a little treat to show you. 🎃

Halloween Night is stitched on 14 count coffee/ tea dyed Aida

It is called "Halloween Night". I had such a great time stitching this piece. Though it was teeny, it was my first haunted house design. 

I tea dyed the pom pom trim as well as the Aida. 

Have I told you I adore rounds?  I finished this round on a short thrifted candle stick though you cannot see it from this angle.

I am hoping to make more rounds in the near future that I can use on the same candlestick. Maybe change them out for the holidays- just thinking here. LOL

Anywhoo... I won't keep you any longer. I just wanted to pop in and wish you the most lovely Saturday and a spooktacular Halloween. Don't let any spooks get ya'! 

Thank you all for the well wishes and for those who have checked in on me as I was absent. I am feeling better each day. 

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all
