Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween to one and all......... Samhain Blessings to all fellow Pagans. :0)


On this special celebration in the Pagan calendar I thought I would share a pic of the Sampler Girl ornie that I finally finished off a few days after getting out of hospital. It had a long wait for those buttons and taught me a valuable lesson about not putting things off until tomorrow because you just don't know what unexpected things tomorrow will bring! LOL

So here it is, complete with the fab little Halloween buttons I found on eBay:


The pumpkin tealight holder has now been joined by a Trick or Treat bucket of goodies - unfortunately I forgot to take a pic before the kids started calling, so it's looking sadly depleted at the moment:


The sweeties have spooky images on them and yes, that's a pair of eyeballs there too........ though they are made of chocolate with a fondant filling rather than squishy eyes. LOL There were also some gold coin choccies in there but most of those went into the candy buckets of the cutest pair of toddlers ever - it made my night when they came knocking with their Daddy. :0)

So now I am off to place my offering outside for the wandering Spirits, then light a candle in memory of my Ancestors and departed loved ones. As DH and DS are out at the LTC's Quiz Night I shall be rounding off the evening by watching tonights Most Haunted Live Halloween special: The Eight Faces of Evil (all that screaming seems appropriate somehow LMAO) whilst listening to someone's celebration fireworks. :0)

Thank you for visiting and may you all have a happy, fruitful and Blessed new year. :0)

Great Halloween ornament Karan.

I've been reading back on your blog a bit and am sorry to learn of your health problems. I hope that things get sorted out for you very soon. I know how painful gall stones can be as my father had them a few years back and had to have his gallbladder removed.

Thanks also for your lovely comment on my last blog post. I was so pleased to learn that I still have readers and that they enjoy seeing my stitching. It's lovely to share my work with others. I've been terrible at leaving comments too but I'm working on that by trying to do a few each day, not easy when I need to stitch as I have loads of gift stitching to do.

Take care.

Nicola
