starting with some more neighborhood Halloween displays
how about this purple to blue sparkly BIG spider... a la Harry Potter!
there is a decoration contest in another nearby neighborhood, and I have a lot of pics but I'll save some for next week. Meanwhile I saw some interesting things on our walks
a suburban scene, "killed by yardwork"
click on that pic to see more texture, wouldn't that be a challenge to paint?

such a cute kitty, or "paw-fessor McGonagle"
Quilting love, sewing those finished hexies together this week
painting love, Jessica Swift free workshop all week
I really learned a lot about creating a more defined waist hides a tummy, here
Conversation starter this week:
do you still rake fallen leaves or just use a blower to clear them?
(personally I HATE the sound of a leaf blower, so I rake and dh bags them)
actually I find it soothing to rake leaves, order out of chaos, clean grass left behind, repetitive movements, sounds of crisp leaves.

Wonderful fun and cute photos! Happy Thursday and have a lovely rest of the day. I definitely need to decorate. The cookies look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteKilled by yard work made me laugh. Isn't this kinda how so many of the younger generation feel when they have to mow... "it's too hot, I'm going to die mowing in this heat". lol. Have a good Thursday..
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool bunch of fun decorations! Oh my, cookies!!! Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at cookies! I made some cookies this week too with three kinds of chocolate chips and pecans. Everything you said about raking leaves resonates with me too. Are you my long-lost sister? Hahaha! Here's to another good Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI love that dog costume! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteHalloween? Already? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing so much Beauty with me today. I needed that! Aloha
ReplyDeleteFall is my all time favorite season! Yur cookies look so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love the skeleton with the lawnmower! A warm plate of chocolate chip cookies sounds really good right now. They would not last long at our house!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the fun ways people decorate their houses and yards for holidays. Love that purple spider!! That bench is an interesting enigma isn't it? You have some really cute Halloween hexies in that project. As for the leaves - our yard is actually over an acre with 60+ trees on it. My husband uses the mower and mulching attachment. Sometimes he'll use the bagger and collect the worst areas.
ReplyDeleteGreat Halloween decorations and costumes! I like your shadow selfie too!
ReplyDeleteI love the Halloween displays and I especially love the Golden Retriever martini! I don't mind raking leaves as long as it doesn't go on for six weeks.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun decorations! Those cookies look yummy. That martini dog is a hoot! Those hexies look great. Pretty painting, too. I hate the sound of leaf blowers, too. We leave the leaves as is (and mow them into the grass).
ReplyDeleteI love all the spooky decor! The cookies look delicious and I love the dog's costume, so creative lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd that quilt is gorgeous, I can't wait to see it finished! (Unless it is finished, then I still love it lol)

ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to AFFF
MUCH♡LOVE
Death by yard work is a good one, as is that spider across the yard. Thank you for linking up. I do appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteFun Halloween photos. Some people go the extra mile when it comes to decorating.
ReplyDeleteAs for the question of the day, of course now that we live in an apartment we don't have to deal with leaves, but when we had the house DH always mulched them with the lawn mower so the 'good' would go back into the earth. He often would go out and retrieve bags of leaves from the neighbours and put them in our garden and till them in for extra nutrients. Now they're advocating leaving them be because they serve as winter homes for beneficial insects.
Fun Halloween tour...love seeing all the decorations. The leaves here are just spectacular, a little late it seems, but spectacular.
