... Hallowe'en Ornie SAL June update and Weekend Round Up.
So, first up, here is Haunted Love by T.A. Smith (Free design on Pumpkin Seed Stitchers Facebook group). This fits into both the Smalls SAL and the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL (this month was a free choice).
Stitched on 28ct Almond linen using 310, WDW Fiesta (for the pumpkin - my go-to thread for pumpkins and moons in Halloween stitching) and GAST Oatmeal (for the ghosts).
I also had a Happy Dance for my third ombre cowl scarf - this one is for my friend, Shirley (who is a work colleague - she chose the colourway)
On Saturday night I made this "Almost Shepherdless Pie" from Rachel Khoo's Kitchen notebook - it was absolutely delicious!
Lastly, DS2 was down from Sydney for the weekend again (he lucked on a cheap airline ticket), so on Sunday afternoon we all went for a late lunch at Crabapple Kitchen in Hawthorn. TraderVic and I both had the oh so delicious buttermilk pancakes with ricotta, maple syrup and bacon. (Sorry, no photo this time).
So, back to some stitching for me and to watch a bit of The Voice.
Love to you all and hugs,

Cute little Halloween stitching and lovely scarf - but spending time with your son is the best!!! What a handsome guy.

The little mousey love is just so cute on that Halloweeny piece. Great work on your scarf too, ombre just seems to be everywhere. But I'm sure seeing your son again was the best! :D
How nice that you got to see your handsome son! I do love the Halloween design.
A visit from a faraway son is always a good day, Kaye--so happy that he got to visit for a bit :) Love the Halloween piece and your friend obviously loves her scarf--beautiful work you've done!
This little small is perfect with its Halloween-ish colours. And the scraf is looking great on your friend.
Isn't it great when they come back home for a weekend or a couple of days? I also love that. A lot!
