i love your decorating and that blue will make a pretty shawl! i like the asymetricals..i saw them at marshalls the other day and have been thinking about them ever since..i think i will give in this week and go pick one up! we are getting warmer weather this week, 80's but will drop down by thursday for the boys football game so i better pick that sweater up ;) thank you so much for linking and i hope you have a wonderful week ahead! stay cool!!
I'm loving the look of those shawls. Have been after a pattern for a while so will click on your link! Will have to get busy with Halloween once I return home. B x
Those shawls are beautiful! Overhere Halloween isn't such a big thing, although the last years we are getting used to it ;-). It's so nice though to decorate with those beautiful pumpkins! Love, Mirjam.
We're going through the weather seesaw too. Now it's raining and by Thursday it will be in the 80s again. Not so compatible for fall decorating. I did buy a scarecrow similar to yours at JoAnns this weekend. Love your new cat Halloween painting! I can spend hours on Etsy.
So festive and lovely decorations for the holiday celebration! Lovely scarecrow and mr. bones, too and interesting idea of lamps from pumpkins with dots. Many thanks for sharing them and a very good and sunny week of october!
I always look forward to seeing the way my blogging friends decorate their homes for Halloween because it isn't something that I see much of in Normandy. Your decor pieces are so cute scary but in a good way! Thanks for sharing your Halloween themed mosaics with us this week. Maggie
Hi! Thank's for visiting my blogpost! I liked your last photo with the light-hole-decorated pumkins...Maybe an idea for me. In Sweden Halloween is a celebration which grown to be an usual tradition this last 10 years. In the Swedish Christian Church we have an elder tradition to celebrate with candles in church and graveyards for the last dying persons, and somestimes this Christian tradition coincide in same dates as Halloween holidays... Sometimes they have tried to move this different celbrations to different dates, for not making grieving people be upset seeing this halloweendressed people and halloweensymbols around. Here in the southern parts of Sweden we have another rather new tradition in November: "Lights in Österlen". A contest in the dark evening i the villages to show the most uplighten community. A nice event to drive from the dark way in to the lights in the villages and smalltowns. Have a nice day! Best wishes, AnnA
Your decorations are really cute. My grands would like to come to your house rather than the "Scarey" ones we see here and there at this time of year. The shawl looks good--you should show they whole thing so we can see its asymmetry. I can only knit or crochet with cotton when it's hot outside! LOL.
What a lovely collection of decor for Halloween. Nothing too scary but pretty and whimsical is the way to go.

Outside my window the sun is shining and it's going to be another hot day.
Fall made a very quick fly by and summer has returned.
Record heat by this weekend.
ARGHH.

I'm still trying to fool myself into feeling cooler by knitting!
I finished one shawl in cotton.
I liked the pattern. Over the Sea to Skye pattern and cotton from Craftsy.
It wasn't difficult.
I do have to think about what I'm doing ... no multitasking while knitting!
So I started another one in this pretty blue wool.
Asymetrical shawls seem to be the in thing.

I added a scarecrow to the entry way.
I found him at Michael's and could't resist bringing him home.
This is a painting by Ryan Conners - Kilkennycat Art.
She has an Etsy shop.
I'm not sure my Siamese, Cassie,
would be willing to deliver pumpkins by broom!

Mr. Bones (I found him at Ross) has joined the sunflowers.
