October is the month of the full Hunter’s Moon, as according to Indian folklore, it was the time to go hunting. This is the first full moon following the Harvest Moon.

It rises around sunset and sets around sunrise, making it the only night that the moon stays in the sky all night long.

Looking at these 3 black cats in front of the moon sort of puts me in the Halloween spirit! It  is time to start making my home more holiday worthy, and I have just begun to scratch the surface.

I am thinking too that I need to start stitching “in the season” as I have been seeing so many amazing Halloween trees loaded with needlepoint ornaments! My 4 candy canes from Melissa Shirley need some company so they can hang out on a tree together.

This pile of threads from last years Halloween stitching is a great start…now I just need a canvas or 2 or 3. well I think that you get the idea! I think that I see a little retail therapy ahead of me.

AlleyCat loves this new box! and until next time…keep on stitching
