~ the witch is in!

I hope those trick or treaters get here before the rain and wind :-(

~ halloween host & hostess...

...all dressed up and ready to greet the halloween guests. :-)

~ halloween eve...

...these two started the celebration early :-)

~ calmly waiting...

...for trick or treating {in a couple of days}...and...enjoying the quiet. Today is the 1 year anniversary of hurricane Sandy -- maybe that's why the weather is so beautiful. In nature, it is all about the balance...

~ halloween quilt top...

Four days until halloween!  I have to remove the basting pins and correct a mistake on the pieced back.



I am not going to meet the dead line.  Eeeeek!

~ kitchen corner update...

Good morning!  Thanks for stopping by.  I was just about to throw my half cold cup of coffee in the microwave, and saw this photo-op moment staring right at me.  Yes, that is my philodendron sitting just beyond the gate -- waiting for a wash and trim before going upstairs to spend the winter in my sewing room.

Outside, the temps are dropping -- so that means its time to move a bit quicker indoors.  The kitchen corner is almost done!  The base and pantry cabinets are painted and installed -- complete with door/drawer pulls and soft-close dampers on the doors (love these!)
 


The high hat light fixture is installed, wired and working -- along with a new electrical outlet.  The countertop needs to be cut (again) so that it fits perfectly.  We also will be adding a "message area" on the wall, and, a decorative shelf.

Stay tuned...

~ c'mon trick or treaters...

...we're ready for ya!



Last year, even Hurricane Sandy couldn't stop the trick or treaters from coming to our house.  We had an unexpected 150 trick or treaters -- this broke our 2011 record of 120 trick or treaters.  This year, we are well stocked, and, ready! :-)

Yes, the two bowls on the top shelf and two bags on the bottom shelf are all filled with candy bags prepared for trick or treaters. We do have a bit more, unprepared... just in case!

Note:  Because of Hurricane Sandy, last year, our trick or treating festivities were delayed until November 5.
