It's That Time Of The Year Again!!

Fanny likes decorating for fall ...she has her little pumpkin pale and ready for beggars night!
     Made this quilt a few years ago. One of my favorites! 
"Bad and Happy Jack's" a Fon's and Porter design.

Some are happy and some are bad🤐

Love the candy corn fabric. He is a happy camper!!


He is not happy..where is my candy corn! Tee hee 🐱maybe the cat ate it!!

Another must is Mr. Scarecrow.

I was in a swap and "Montana Weber" was my partner. We made and exchanged three pumpkins for each other. These are the ones I received from her yesterday...look who has them now!!  She should receive hers Monday.

A wagon full of pumpkins.
 
Miss Witchie saying.... "Boo & Scare"!


Always fun to display the c.c. stitch pillow hanger. A "Lizzie High" design.
 

Made some Salsa a few weeks ago ..still displayed on the counter. 😊
Below are the Hummingbirds trying to fatten up before going South on there long journey.  
Have a great month! 
Stay safe.

    You are such a fun seasonal decorator. I enjoy seeing your creative displays.
    Hanging my head as I admit that I haven't taken down the red/white/blue yet.

    So cute!! I only have a very few Halloween decorations, but they are fun. I think I need to change my patriotic to "fall" decor.

A Visit With You!!

Thinking about you my "blogging friends", praying that all of you and your family's are okay during these trying times. 
The last few days I cleaned up our pantry, refrigerator and one closet...told myself.."done!! So, decided to bring out a few "Easter" things--- Thought our entry needed "Miss.Violet" to perk up our home! Placed a little birdie to brighten the mantel. I retrived from my sewing room closet this star quilt that I started 20+ years ago..I had finished sewing the blocks, had sewed , sandwiched and basted----period!!! I decided 3 1/2 weeks ago that I needed to finish and started hand stitching. Ta-ta done!! 
Last of all--- know we are all looking forward to the first sites  of tulips, right?  Found this giraffe with a tulip in it's mouth and wanted to share with you!!
Take care!
Hug's, Carolyn
