Happy Thursday everyone!
It's Half-Term here and as normal the weather is pants!!!
DS's are busy revising German for a forthcoming test next week and DD is writing her personal statement for University applications so a little time for me and this was my quick and easy stitch for this week . . .
'How-lo-ween' freebie by Cherrywood Designs
stitched on 28count 'Shades of Autumn' evenweave with Mascara Weeks Dye Works
Pillow finish (no surprise there!) with Halloween Witch fabric, ric rac and bronze beads
I'm fully absorbed by a 5-book series by Virginia Andrews at the moment.
I read the first one ~ Flowers in the Attic ~ many years ago but never read the following four ~ I'm hooked and by sitting up to 1am last night have nearly finished book three.
The library are ordering them in for me as and when I'm ready for them and they've just rung to say book four is there ready and waiting so guess where I'm off to and who will be burning the midnight oil again tonight?
Thanks for stopping by
HAPPY STITCHING

Oh, how adorable, Jane!! I just love it... That witchy fabric is perfect with the stitching.
Never in my life have I heard the expression the weather is "pants." I assume that means bad? See what I learn from blogging :)
Hope you enjoy your reading as much as I'm enjoying your little Pumpkin Pie stitching here in my kitchen!! Enjoy your weekend...
