Welcome Stitchers!!!
September is here & I am a happy camper!!!!! How are you??? Are you ready for winter(USA)summer way down yonder in Australia???
Which season do you favor???
Another great thing is our "rain" is back to normal this year. We are, still, not having water levels back to where they were in 2009, but, I am NOT complaining!!!! LOL!!!
I feel sooooooooooooo bad for California people as their drought is far worse than GA-Fla...........
Apparently, lots of people can't afford to move out of California. The ONLY people NOT affected are the rich. Green lawns and pools mean more to them than drinking water, farmers & regular folk!!
Has anybody started their Halloween stitching? What are you working on? Do yall get trick or treaters? All my neighbors kids are grown up and gone away. I do miss the days of my dressing up and doing my witch thing with the Safe houses around here. I can't stand, long let alone walk now.
My yard could be seen as one came around the bend! My yard was decorated to the max Halloween and Christmas! It took me all month in August-Sept to do Halloween, all month in November to do Christmas!!
I had Halloween villages, mobile witches, screaming-hanging ghosts, Halloween tree, candles galore, lit pumpkins(either lights or candles), boogers, skeletons hanging, bats everywhere, black & white cats,purple, orange & black lights hung, all here in the den. Let along the all the ceramic and porcelain nic nacs!!
and...............Christmas was a whole lot more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All through the house was decorated! I love Christmas scents!!!!
Yes, this started the seasons with me and my deceased friend, Sarah! We LOVED the holidays, so much. I miss her so much.........
Now, on to my latest designing just for you to stitch up!!!!!!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
