A short walk around the neighborhood this morning gave me quite a fright. A snake among the pumpkins! But not to worry. It was a squash, or a gourd, or something. Guaranteed to keep the little goblins away.
After a road trip earlier this week to visit my friend other Marcia for some of her great homemade pizza, and an envelope-making tutorial, I came home and made these:
It was a chance to recycle some of my old craft magazines. Now I'm going to have to send more cards and write more letters. Thanks, Marcia, for a new hobby!
I took along a "thank-you" ghost for her to add to her collection of my other critters that she's so graciously strewn around her house. (Sorry I didn't take some time to prepare a more colorful backdrop.)
I've added a few more pieces to my patchwork thingy. The patches on the left are the newest ones--in fall colors. At some point, after it reaches a certain size, I will decide what it will be. Meanwhile, I'm giving thought to harvesting a few old garments from various closets to add to the piece.
The weather people say the colors are at their peak here in Connecticut but Mr. Gadget and I don't agree. There's still plenty of green in the trees. It is beautiful though and shouldn't be long. There are some sunny days ahead and even a couple of days forecasted to be in the 70's. Nothing makes a California gal happier than east coast colors with west coast weather!
