It's raining cats and "jacks" in the holler! 🌧🐱🎃
Happy Happy Saturday, sweet friends. We finally are getting a spot of rain after a long dry spell.
But before I get into my post , let me thank everyone for the sweetest compliments and visits on my last couple of posts. Blogger is giving me the blues and is not allowing me to reply back. Aaargh! 😜Maybe it will be better behaved tonight. Fingers crossed!
But back today's happenings. What to do on a rainy day? Well stitch and quilt ! Hee! Hee!
Last night , cats and jacks jumped out of my attic as the rain began to fall. That is my Halloween decorations.
Soon they were making their way onto the hutch. The theme of the hutch all started with Walmart's newest cat cookie jar. Swoon! Meow! Thumpity Thump! I love it! 🤗😺🧡🎔

| The cat cookie jar is my newest Halloween piece from Walmart. They have the dog cookie jar too. |
By night's end, most of the goodies were on the hutch . Today I will continue to wrangle those Halloween pieces and change out the quilts.
But I do want to work on a little Prim Cat and Pumpkins Pinkeep .
UPDATE: OCTOBER 3, 2026- It did not take long to stitch up Prim Cat and Pumpkins Pinkeep , and I fully finished it - all in a few short hours. I added a gourd pin with a scrap of fabric and some buttons to one corner. Prim Cat and Pumpkins is stitched on 14 count coffee/ tea dyed Aida.

The Prim Cat and Pumpkins Pinkeep looks like it will be a fast stitch for Halloween. I enjoyed the Halloween Hutch past and present. It is fun to see the "theme" for each year. While I decorate, I must admit that I am not that creative. Thanks for the pinkeep and the visit. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh it was, Alicia. I just finished the Pinkeep tonight and even FFOd it. I do enjoy those quick stitches every now and then. Thank you so much for taking the time to join me as I hopped down memory lane in respect to my hutches. I hope you have had a wonderful day, Alicia. Hugs.
DeleteCute little Prim kitty and punkins. Thank you. So many different themes, even for halloween, and all with a little something different and something special. You are so good at the decorating. The different cookie jars are really fun.
ReplyDeleteAaw shucks, Thank you so much, Ginny. I enjoy changing things up a little even if I use the same pieces every year. I hope to fully finish some more big cross stitch Halloween pieces that have been lingering so I can have something new out. Fingers crossed I can find the perfect frames though- I may have to get creative. Have a wonderful evening, sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteYou have the most wonderful things to decorate your hutch for any season! I love getting to see each different one! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteAaw you are so very kind, Sandi. Thank you so much. I enjoy changing the hutch seasonally and using all of my gifted and thrifted treasures. Many of them bring back fond memories of family members and friends. I wish you a lovely evening and thank you again for dropping by. Hugs.
DeleteIt is definitely feeling like fall up here. The leaves are falling off the tree with the breeze blowing and a ton of acorns are raining down too! The deer are enjoying them along with the squirrels. The temps are in the 60s for a high.
ReplyDeleteOooh it does sound like "fall weather" has settled in your neck of the woods. I think with the rain that we have had over the weekend , we will see a change in temps too. I bet it is a hoot to watch the wildlife. Thank you for dropping by, Vicki. Hugs.
DeleteI'm so glad you showed us your Halloween decorations from previous years and the ones you've already prepared for this year.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed every detail.
It seems like summer just won't end here, and autumn is taking its sweet time arriving.
Hugs
It has been the same here, Isabel. Hot! Hot! Hot! But I think the rain will change that. Oh thank you so much for taking the time to visit me and see my Halloween clutter, Isabel. You are always so kind. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteYou are so creative with your different hutch themes, Melisa! I love all the witches you have. I haven't stitched very many, but am working on Broom Hilda right now. Hopefully she is done by Halloween!
ReplyDeleteAaw you are the sweetest, Diann; than you . My little witch collection has slowly grown though unintentionally. LOL. I have a great affection for Jack o lanterns and black cats for Halloween and this year- I am all into ghosts. LOL. I hope you enjoy stitching little Broom Hilda . Hugs.
DeleteAll of the Halloween decor is so pretty. It is my favorite season to decorate . I would love to know the name of the pattern of the witch you finished on the orange pumpkin. thank you so much for sharing your picture's with us. I get so much fun out of seeing it all.
ReplyDeleteAaw you are the sweetest. Thank you so much for the kind compliment. You really brought a warm smile to my day. Oh that little witch is called "Halloween Parade" and was a freebie posted on my October 20, 2022 post. I think I finished it on a Dollar General wooden pumpkin. You have reminded me that I do need to get her out. Thank you so much for the sweet visit . Have a lovely week and decorating for Halloween. Hugs.
DeleteVery fun Halloween decor. We don't usually decorate for Halloween, but I did find a very fun Halloween themed table cloth when I was in Houston, that's going on the table this week.
ReplyDeleteYour Halloween decor is so much fun to see, Melisa. You've inspired me to pull out a few things.
