Happy Halloweenie!

It’s that time of the year when the Ghastlies get to come out of hiding — Yipee!!!

Thimbleanna: Happy Halloween

Sorry for the absence around here — there just hasn’t been much blogworthy going on.  I’ve been stitching a little every night (that TAW is going to be the death of me) and my little knitting project is done — just needs to be rinsed and blocked.  Otherwise, it’s just our normal boring routine and trying to clean things up a little.  We’ve been going through our bookshelves and trying to clean them out a bit — it’s a lot of work!  I even cleaned up a teeny bit here on the blog — I updated the header to a fall theme and added an extra tab that shows some of my past thimble headers just for fun.

Thimbleanna: Happy Halloween

I’m all ready for the little trick-or-treaters tonight too.  I love seeing the little kids come by – I really miss that part about having small children around.  I met a friend for lunch this morning and there was an adorable little girl there all dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood.  Such a fun time for little kids!

Also, this is one of my favorite days of the year. Not because it’s Halloween, but because we end daylight savings time. Fall Back. An extra hour in the day.  WOOHOO!!!  I wish every day had an extra hour in it. Or maybe ten — yeah, an extra ten hours sounds a LOT better!

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!
XOXO,
Anna

  1. love your new fall header. I don’t do too much for Halloween but I do have a bowl of candy as I know of at least one child that will be dropping by – out here in the country it has gotten less and less over the years.
    I have been cleaning off the book shelves for years and continue to now and then – this fall it is clean out the bedroom time as we are getting a new set and dresser drawers and closets need a good going through – I have to be drastic and get rid of some of this stuff we never use

  2. ooo i LOVE the Ghastlies pillows! That’s what I will do with some of my fabric! LOVE them! And I also love the new header. We had 15 trick or treaters this year. 3 more than last year. But last year it was snowing and this year just raining. I don’t know where all the kiddies have gone. But that just leaves more in the grandkids trick or treat bags that we will deliver tomorrow. Happy extra hour!!!

  3. You always have fun headers. You are very creative that way. Love your pillows.We had the usual rainy evening. When we went out for dinner, there were a few kids out with parents. The kids had to have coats on over the costumes. Would have been fun to know what the “Kid” was that had a box on his head! The costumes get more creative every year.

  4. I love your new header image! And your home looks all ready for the fun.

    We don’t get many trick or treaters in the village. This year just two teenage girls, They’d made an effort with their costumes which I was happy to see.

  5. Love the coach full of thimbles..it’s very fun! Had a fun Halloween with all the little grands and their cousins. 6 kids and 16 adults….so much fun walking the neighborhood although a few folks stayed behind to hand out candy! I can’t believe it’s November and I have no holiday projects done….lol!

  6. love your halloween decorations and your ghastlies of course – such a great great quilt. Oh your new header is a delight! You have obviously mastered close up photography.
    I hope you had lots of treaters. I miss living in a sidewalk neighborhood. We left out a small bucket of candy. We know some kids came, we usually get about 8. There was still candy in the bucket when we got home. would not have happened in NJ

  7. Lovely new banner/header! You are so creative! Love your fall decorating! Ghaslie, they are indeed awesome! BTW, did see at market that they are coming out with a new line! ;) Just a heads up! Cheers!

  8. your decorations are wonderful. i’m a minimalist. it’s a sad thing… but i can’t handle the SCHTUFF. i love your ghastlies quilt and pillow, and your jack-o-lanterns that are lanterns. i’m so happy i never started my TAW. it would have literally killed me to finish it and killed me to throw it away, realizing i would NEVER complete it. i was at my daughter’s house and we got NO trick or treaters!!!!!! we are sending the candy to the troops. there is a place that will do that for you with leftover, unwanted halloween candy.
    okay, well… i’m off to save the world.
    bye anna banana.
