Yes I am! and well why not? Halloween is just around the corner. I look forward to seeing all the clever costumes that everyone comes up with for Halloween. I love seeing all the decorations out and about…like this scene last year when I was in Denver at this time.

There was a freak Denver snow storm that blanketed all the Halloween decorations. Hopefully history won’t repeat itself this year!

I am giving you a little sneak peak into a new Halloween project that I have coming up. Something fresh off the drawing board or should I say the painting table from one of our favorite needlepoint canvas designer.

Sally from Rainbow Gallery sent me a great palette of Halloween threads in oranges, acid greens, purples, blacks and of course can’t forget Glow in the Dark colors. Thank you Sally! Check out my new magnet that “crawled” in from Accoutrement’s that will keep me company while working on this canvas.

Those threads really do Glow in the Dark too! Tried to get a picture of that for you, but my camera or should I say my picture taking ability wasn’t able to capture it.

I hope to start this in 2-3 weeks, just in time for Thanksgiving! What is wrong with this picture?

Well I need to get myself to work, stitch guides to print, stitch guides to write, new magazine work for our January/February 2013 issue, stitching, thinking about what clothes to ready for my trip next week.

AlleyCat just needed to check out those crows in the plants outside. I just love their curiosity. and until next time…keep on stitching.
