Tuesdays With Tag - Happy Halloween...

 

 

Hi, Everybody!

 

Greetings from the Hickory Hill Ghosts this Halloween.

 

I know. You're scared, right? Not so much? I get it. This was the best picture Mom could get of the three of us for this year. She was exhausted when the photo shoot was done, and Dad even tried to help. 

First, I'm thinkin' it shows each of us perfectly. I mean, Boo has her tongue stickin' out. She's the one on the left. I'm sittin' like the bestest boy I am, but I accidentally stepped on my sheet and the part where my eye holes were separate from my mouth hole tore, so I think I look more like a nun than a ghost! Then there's The Kid. She stepped on her costume and tore it all to heck. Once that happened, she got all antsy and didn't want to sit still. That's where Dad came in. He made sure she didn't completely wreck the picture.

When Mom looked at the pictures after we were all back inside, she saw that the orange pumpkin basket was tipped over. Perfect. She tossed her hands in the air and declared this our official 2023 Halloween picture. It depicts all our personalities, and shows that our photo session was a little chaotic. She said she could live with that. 

 

As for the three of us? We were glad to be out of our costumes so we could resume runnin' around in the yard. We wanted to get a couple laps in while it was still nice outside. The weather got rainy and colder after that, so we were stuck inside to plan more Halloween tricks to pull on Mom and Dad.

 

We're gonna stay tucked inside and stay out of trouble. (I think we might have been on Mom's list for a while, so we're gonna make it up to her by behavin' today.) Mom said she's gonna dress up like a homemaker in comfy sweats, and Dad said he's gonna wear his farmer jeans and a flannel shirt. Sounds like a usual night around here to us! 

If you're goin' Trick or Treatin' tonight, be safe out there. If you're stayin' home and handin' out treats, we hope your house doesn't get TP'd. Just be sure to have fun with the neighborhood ghosts and goblins. 

I'll see you again in seven. 'til then...

Getting In The Spirit...

"Halloween Boo!" Bench Pillow Pattern

If you follow "Brynwood Needleworks" page on Facebook, you've already

seen these patterns. One of the gals brought it to my attention and we ended up 

with a number of people expressing interest in having their own copy of this one.

Each of these patterns, when made, is meant to cover a bench pillow - and 

all are interchangeable. There are also instructions to create the actual

bench pillow, using fabric and polyfill. Applique' is accomplished using

your favorite technique, but the photos show raw edge, fused applique'.

Make more than one and can change them out for the season or holiday.

"Halloween Boo!" Bench Pillow Pattern

These, and the patterns below, are available for purchase from Brynwood.

Orders will be taken on a "first come, first serve" basis. You can either

 leave a comment below (if you're not on Facebook), or you can let me know

 on the Brynwood page in the comments section. Once I run out of these,

I can order more, but you'll have to wait until the shipment comes in again.

Each pattern is $10.50, including first class domestic postage. I'll also send

overseas, but price will depend on actual shipping cost. Once you let me know

which pattern(s) you want, include your email and I will send you an invoice

you can pay by credit card through Square. I'll post upon receipt of payment.

You're free to leave comments about the patterns, but if you want to order

of the designs, please say you want to purchase and which ones you'd like.

(Feel free to email me through the link on my right sidebar if you'd prefer.)

"Gather Together" and "Welcome Autumn!" Bench Pillow Patterns

I also ordered a few copies of each of these patterns...these in fall holiday themes.

"Whimsy Winter" and "Deck The Halls!" Bench Pillow Patterns

These are for winter and Christmas. I can hardly believe it's right around the corner! I guess I'll be starting my Christmas gift list pretty soon. Oh, boy! Where did this past year go? Sorry...I got sidetracked. So, if you want one or more of these patterns, please let me know right away. I think they'll go fast.
