Happy Halloween!

I finished up Halloween last night. Talk about quick! I wish I still had some time to get these on my spooky tree but my mind is already turning toward my Christmas ornaments. I didn't get many done for myself last year (did I even get any done?) and I've already made a list of what I what to finish. I also want to do a couple of pillows for the couch and that means I need to get going. For the rest of the weekend I'll start on my next block on HoHRH and work out what I want to do for my train rides and what I want to take on vacation.

Today is my birthday but because of my mom I don't have any plans. Usually I have dinner arrangements with family and friends but never had time to get anything together this year. So I'll just stay home a stitch with the pugs. :-) That will be as much fun. My poor babies didn't even get a party this year because I was in Orlando when I needed to be sewing. They were going to be pirates also. Next year for sure.

Margie,
Happy Birthday. Have a wonderful day. Mine was 2 days ago and it was rather quiet also. Sometimes that is ok. I mostly stitched and have some of my favorite foods. We should be able to do what we want/like on our birthdays. Enjoy!

Happy birthday, Margie! How cool is that to be born on Halloween! Hope you enjoy your day -- spoil yourself and enjoy your sweet companions. They would have made cute pirates.
