My Brand new Pattern!!

It is one more in a series of Holiday ornaments!

Halloween spirit- 8 embroidery designs, ornaments & bowl fillers pattern, #385

For a Printed and mailed pattern ... go to my website

Let's get into the Halloween spirit...

.. 

8 designs in one. There are pumpkins,monsters, cats, witches and more!

They look so cute on a tree...this one is a pretty small tree....that I got at goodwill!

The mummy makes an awesome pinkeep!

I hung it from an old wood bobbin.

He has crazy eyes!

They make a great gift and look amazing sitting on a little shelf or hanging on a tree or knob. Perfect for little pinkeeps and gift toppers too. Each ornament has a wool or felt star on the back. Use bakers twine for a sweet hanger. 

This is the backs of the ornaments.

*You could also make a darling little quilt with the designs.

This is Priest lake...a huge lake...lovely water...great sandy beaches.

We had a great camp site...very close by.

WE boated around, swam, made several sand castles, went to resorts, hiked, played games, four square and more! 

This chipmunk loved our potato sticks and he would eat some and then hide the rest...he would take one and rest it on a tree , in between bark....it was so cool!

Then he would go back and eat them.

we also had deer that came through our camp and a sweet frog. 

Here is one of the sand castles...

the beach was pretty hot and the sand was too.

The smell of pine tree and water was great!

One day someone played bagpipes in the distance...it was cool.
