Day 311 of 2025

I'm taking a photo inventory of my fall and Halloween things 

before putting them away this year. 

This is one of my favorites in my pumpkin collection.

 

Day 304 of 2025

Halloween night.

 

Day 49 of 2025

After I made the Valentine coasters for Fireball, 

I planned to give him a few Jack-o-Lantern coasters for Halloween. 

I did a very nice fabric pull and got the first face completed 

but the finished coaster never happened and the other faces didn't either. 

Today the one and only coaster made it to the finish line 

and sits on our coffee table.

 

Day 305 of 2024

Happy Halloween!

 

Day 292 of 2024

Harvest Nights at Newfields is fabulous. 

It would be so hard to describe so I'll just say 

that there are so many pumpkins and surprises throughout. 

I'll leave you here with carved pumpkins

 hanging in trees with firefly lights. 

If you're in town, 

it's definitely worth the visit.

Day 302 of 2023

It's foggy and misty this morning. 

It's a couple days before Halloween. 

Here's a thought for the day.

 

Day 206 of 2023

After lunch downtown with Fireball, 

I had time to go to Crimson Tate before heading home. 

I have a soft spot for new Halloween fabric lines. 

 

Day 118 of 2023

I've got a little Halloween on my mind.

 

Day 321 of 2022

I found this in the closet where the puzzles reside the other day

 while I was straightening things up.

 It looks like I bought it on clearance at the book store last year after Halloween. 

I forgot that I had it so I forgot to work it. 

I remedied this oversight tonight. 

I started it too late to finish but surely will tomorrow.

I have also updated yesterday's post to include a link to a picture of Fireball

 in the sweater I mentioned in the post.

 

Day 304 of 2022

We got to spend time with each of our GBs

 tonight for Halloween. 

GB#1.

GB#2, GB#4, GB#5

GB#3

 

Day 290 of 2022

Things are getting just a little bit spooky on the mantle.

 

Day 228 of 2021

Another sign that fall is coming. 

I'm usually a little annoyed that this kind of display is out so early, 

but this year I'm not mad about it.

 

Day 305 of 2020

Happy Halloween.

I tried to get a picture of the rare Halloween Blue Moon, 

but those pictures did not compare to this one.

 

Day 299 of 2020

It's pumpkin carving day.

So fun.

 

Day 271 of 2020

Here is my view as I watch football this evening. 

I've been sorting, counting, doing math and making decisions about this quilt 

and the extra quilt I will get from the leftover pieces.  

At one point Fireball asked if I was still cipherin'. 

And then I found another small bag of pieces that needed the same process. 

Yes, I am still ciphering.

 

Day 299 of 2019

Another day, another Halloween event. 

Daughter-in-law, R, decided to get into the act.

Day 289 of 2019

I had to go out to do some errands today. 

This guy was parked next to me. 

I'm kind of glad it wasn't dark out or I might have been just a little freaked out.

Day 266 of 2019

The main construction is done. 

All that is left is one hem, two hooks and the details...

all those details.

Day 264 of 2019

Here is some of my pattern drafting in application. 

Each of these sections are separate double-layer pieces, 

all sewn to the base bodice.

Day 263 of 2019

 

Pattern drafting is messy work. 

It also takes lots of thought. 

I put extra time in making sure every detail is not overlooked

because everything must work out on the first try.
