Smell my feet--for what ever reason this is one rythme I will never forget--not sure why--we did not celebrate Halloween or trick or treating much when I was young--and even when I had kids we didn't go every year--when I did take them I made their outfits!!!
Yesterday--Saturday--I walked to the Harvest Thyme cafe two doors down the street and this is what greeted me--
A real 'Tin Man'---it seems that whole downtown area was having a 'trick or treat' day-- the business's where handing out 'goodies'--he even had 'water' in his oil can so the kids could 'oil' his joints!!!! I went inside and ordered a slice of the Artichoke and spinach quiche--and watched as all the little ones and some big ones marched up and down the street collecting their goodies --I seen some neat costumes--even alot of the parents were dressed up!!!
On the little table where I sat--was this beautiful floral display--
I was not able to go on the Van shopping last Monday--tummy issues--which continued most of the week--think-- now it was the new vitamin I was taking--so have ordered my 'old' one again, to take--plus being low on potassium I guess didn't help either as for energy and well being???
I did get the 3rd Fall piece embroidered--
Then I decided to just keep going with it and the other '2' and did a wall hanging--and by --golly--I got the whole thing finished for hanging--
I found the fabric with the acorns on it and knew it was perfect--only--I was a bit 'short' so went looking in my orange bag of fabric and found the rusty looking solid and with putting a strip of it between the blocks I had just enough of the acorn fabric to do the outside borders----so got it layered that day and next morning got it basted and then away I went with the hand quilting--had even cut the binding fabric --so it got sewn on --and a finish is done for the week!!!
I also finished the Crow and mouse Cross stitching this morning--
And --of course mine is a bit different--I did fall colored leaves--instead of all green leaves and did not do the big fancy stars--I think I need a name for the mouse and the crow--seeing I have more of these critters to stitch ?????? now to put this into a finished for display piece!!
And I did get another sweater knitted--

I love your fall Kathy Schmitz embroidery pieces all set together for a wall-hanging. So pretty! I haven't stitched that cute acorn house - I think I do have it printed out, though. Time to get it ready to stitch!
Your autumn wall hanging turned out beautifully! Sorry you weren't feeling your best last week, hopefully you are feeling much better this weekend. Good luck with the packing. That's never fun.
What a cute wall hanging! Love that big crow on the pumpkin! It sounds like you are feeling a little better this week. That is good!
Perfect fabrics to finish of the great autumn 🍂 wall hanging.
You could call the mouse Millie and the crow Charlie ?
Sweet cardigan.
Good luck with your move.
You accomplished a lot. Really sweet projects and finishes.
