Hello There, November!!

Last night was fun in our new neighborhood chock full of children!  Halloween night was cool and a bit blustery with a few raindrops, too!!

Today, I’m putting away all the Halloween decor and putting out November stuff which is made up of turkeys and pumpkins and scarecrows and leaves!

This morning we had our 90 day walk-through with the builder.  Hard to believe we’ve already lived here 90 days!!  WOW! Time flies!

I received my Vanishing Design Wall two days ago.  I ordered the unfinished one and painted it white to match the woodwork in my sewing room.

I hung it over the double closet doors, which face my sewing table!

I am very happy with the product so far.  It seems well made and of good quality materials.

I have some leftover black contact paper from making my little mouse hole decal I copied from one I saw on Pinterest.

I’m thinking I might draw out and cut out a sewy phrase to put on the flat front of the wood part of the design wall…

Sooo?  What are you up to today?

Happy Halloween 2013!

Can you believe it’s already Halloween??

Where the heck did October go? 

I mean, I know it was a busy month for me, with my dear family coming to visit…

but already, that seems like years ago!!

Our new neighborhood is teeming with children and infants, so it will really be a fun night for us.
 
Except, Yogi never liked Halloween night with the doorbell ringing and strange sights, sounds, and smells! 

So, we will keep him inside and sit on the front porch and give out candy to avoid the doorbells!

I’m going to carve some pumpkins for the first time in years this afternoon!!

I used to put our six large tubs of Halloween decor at our old house.  You can see it HERE!

But I’ve gotten it down to only 2 tubs now!!

Just a few things here or there!

I did find some awesome new apple green throw pillows for the family room.

I think they will be perfect all the way through Christmas!!

So, I’m off to do some creative pumpkin carving!

Hope you have a wonderfully wicked night!

October Schnibble Done!

I finished the Schnibble for October yesterday!

I named mine “Four Patch in the Grass”, because it would make such a cute picnic blanket!!

The name of this pattern is “Clover”…

because Carrie says she needed her Clover seam ripper so much!  LOL!

This is a pattern you must layout completely on a design wall or available space and sew each square together one at a time.

And because Carrie explained in her directions why the pattern was named “Clover”, it made me be extra careful when removing the blocks from the wall and assembling each row.

Even so, I did have to use my seam ripper a few times!

And having to drape my old design wall fabric over the front of my two bookcases to create a quick design wall to use to lay it out, reminded me to get busy and get a design wall up in my sewing room!!

My new Vanishing Design Wall arrived today.  I will paint it white tomorrow before I hang it on the wall above my closet doors in my sewing room.

I’ll take pix and post them when it’s done!!

What are you working on this week?  Yogi’s working on getting as high on the couch as possible…which with these couches is the arm rest… LOL!!
