How about you? I am in the Halloween spirit. Decorations are up, but there is no chill in the air yet here in beautiful Southern California. Summer weather has returned yet once again. We hope and pray at this time of the year when the temperatures rise and the Santa Ana winds kick in that there are no wild fires.

Santa Ana winds are hot winds that blow in from the desert. Vegetation, grass, trees and et al are very dry after 6 months of no rain. So we pray and hope that those hot winds don’t spread a fire that may have started when things are so dry. Well enough of that!

Boo Kitty has found her niche and she is very content. Check out the fabric on the back of her…

It is just purr~fect as after all she does have a spider hanging from her mouth!

I did put up one of my Halloween Trees…yes I have more than one! and hung some ornaments on it. I am looking for the little black cat that my sister in black cats, “The Divine Miss M” and M stands for Meredith just gave me. It’s there, it really is and maybe she is just hiding for the moment.

I didn’t get too wild and crazy as after all Halloween is only 2 weeks away and it’s almost time for another road trip! Yes you know I just can’t sit still forever now can I? I am headed to a Tony Minieri class with the Deeva next week where we are working on a few of her canvases from her line in our class. Then I will be home for a few days and then off to A Stitch in Time for a few days with Meredith.

I am sure that I will get more details on the class with The Fab Four. Did you call and register yet? Well why not? I wouldn’t wait forever…just saying. Just in case you missed it, here is the down and dirty info that you need. Or if you want go read it in it’s entirety, go back to the blog post from October 8th.

Due to a scheduling snafu, the famous Fab Four will instead be teaching the Long & Short of Canvas Enhancement at A Stitch in Time in San Marino, California…okay and here is the sign up sheet! You can just sign up for the class, no waiting, no hoping that you will get in, no waiting on pins and needles, no lottery selection…you are in with just a little deposit to hold your spot. Classes will be on August 29, 30, 31 & September 1, 2013.

The same format, the same style, the same fun…well maybe more! Select a canvas from your stash, select a new one from the inventory of the amazing canvas selection at A Stitch in Time, or like me…wait till the Winter Market and pick out something brand new for the Fab Four!

Well when you have a black cat…you are always ready for Halloween!

and until next time…keep on stitching
