It's starting to get cold, so I bought Gizmo a new sweater to keep him warm - and save him a little from the pecking chickens. Now that the girls are getting larger and just as big as Gizmo, they are following him around and pecking at him. I guess it's a funny kind of justice since Gizmo spent a lot of time following the chickens around- to their annoyance.
Here is a gothic scene my talented boyfriend put together just outside our doorway. We didn't do much for halloween this year. Kev usually likes to a have a small get-to-gether with friends...watch pirate and/or spooky movies and eat treats like mummy fingers and drink witch's brew. It just seemed to come up too quickly and we turned around and we really didn't have time to do all the decorating and it seemed everyone was doing their own thing this year. I guess because halloween was on a Monday. But, it was kind of nice to have Kev alone and we watched a spooky marathon on A&E...or at least I believe that was the channel.
I finished my quilt top in time for halloween...or just about. I was so pleased since this was my first quilt...well not a quilt for a bed but more of a quilted table runner. I took this picture of it with my phone and emailed it to my fellow quilter, Gayle to show her that yes...I did finish it in time. When I looked at what would become my table runner, I then noticed that I sewed the final strip on...backward! Live and learn I guess.
