Smiling Jack- Free Halloween pattern

Oh yeah...Freebie Friday!  This is "Smiling Jack".  I love him because he is alittle naughty looking.  This is an easy stitchery to do, just copy onto tea-dyed muslin and use whatever color floss you like.  Make this design as a spooky little pillow tuck ...placed on a shelf.

Well the weather here in Washington is lovely...so warm still.  I am dying to go to a big antique show and the goodwill Halloween sale.....I need to control myself...I have too much stuff....I will never learn!

My Wolfgirl

This is my daughter Selina.....also known as WOLFGIRL!  She got this cute hat-scarf-mitten thingy at the fair a couple weeks ago. 

Poor Trix got caught.

Selina is such a card!  She is in eighth grade and having fun in softball right now.  She has so many ideas.....that are really good.  She might be an inventor or cop or singer/songwriter or designer or artist or baker...the list goes on and on.  I try to teach her all I can, so she will be ready for her beautiful life.

Welcome to the pumpkin patch!

This is a Wonderful Treasury on Etsy.  A treasury is a special collection of etsy items hand-picked from an etsy artist....like Needle and Pins stitchery. 

Hope you will check out the treasuries, they are fun to look at and there are many different themes!

Have a wonderful fall day!!

Vintage Halloween ads- freebie friday

I just love old magazines (I love new ones too!).  My favorite thing about these mags are the feeling as if you are traveling back in time!  I love the decor, clothes, hokey recipes, and of course....the ads.  This ad above is trying to get you to think roasting marshmallows and putting it on their crackers is a great Halloween party idea.  Sounds alittle weird since they are like saltine crackers, not graham. 

Coffee ads are so sweet...and I love to see a brand that continues on.  I love the orange and black graphic.  Click on pictures to see them larger! 

How come when I am cutting a pumpkin....it is not so tidy and nicely done?  Must be because I am using newspaper under the pumpkin instead of Waxtex!  Oh well....I am not Martha and apparently I would have to live 5 lifetimes to cook like she does.
