(all the more spooky with my seriously dreadful and scary in a different way, photos ACK!)shiver shiver shake ... something spooky is afoot at my house ... first a devilishy delightful Day of the Dead runner came rattling at my door ... then a gigantic ghostly gnarly tree followed ... shortly thereafter a band of Halloween creatures appeared; brooding black cats, jovial Jack o'lanterns, one very witchy black cat and the most handsome of skellies ...
All of this has inspired me to take out my needle and make some holiday goodies and to pick up the eerily appropriate "Frankenstein" for my nighttime reading.

ReplyDeleteHi Pammie!
ReplyDeleteAren't they cute?! I wish I had enough to share with you! :)
My tree is sparse and not nearly spooky enough. WAH! I know I have some more skellies in the graveyard, er, garage hehe. So I am trying to stitch some up but I'm such a SLOW POKE! geez.
Happy almost weekend! xoxoox
Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteWhee, how fun to see the ornaments that I made for you on your Halloween tree! I an loving the whole setup with the Martha tree and Day of the Dead table runner - now I want them too!!
And your whirly twirly dance just might work after all... I am feeling progressively more convinced. :)

Hi Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed seeing your ornaments - I love them so much! I didn't realize how BIG this tree would be, so I need more ornies. WAH! I am enjoying stitching, I love it, but I'm such a bonehead - I always wait until the last moment. Kicking oneself in the patootie!
OH! Okay, good to know the subliminal messages and skelly spells and whirly twirly dance are taking their toll teehee! I will start stepping them up now - hope it doesn't make you sick to your tummy bwahahahhaa
Thanks for being a good sport while I nag you!;)
Happy almost weekend,
Sally
I love your Halloween Tree, Sally. One of these years I'm going to do one up. The ornies are really cute. The table runner really finishes it off. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally! I love all your spookiness lately! The cross stitch patterns are so adorable, wish my eyes were better. I used to Love to cross stitch. Your blog list Mon. was awesome, I'm only about half way through:) Our craft room reveal is today. Stop by for a visit if you get a chance. Have a beautiful weekend! Twyla
ReplyDeleteSally, I miss cross stitch so much! The patterns you are working on are fabulous! The log cabin day of the dead is so unexpected! I must share my Day of the Dead story! It's too funny! So many fun things to see. Love it all! E
ReplyDeleteOoooh that tree is spooky. Yet funny.
ReplyDeleteI read Frankenstein a couple of years ago and I really loved it. It's very moving. At its core it's really about being different, alienated and feeling rejected by others.
