It's a lovely Saturday morning, first day of Autumn and a stitchy weekend ahead of me. The fall equinox is really tomorrow at 1:44 PM (Pacific Standard Time) - day and night should be equal and from now on the nights will get longer and longer.
Last week Freddy's Mom arrived and she will stay with us for a while. It will be interesting to see how long she will enjoy the north. For three years or so she was planning this trip and finally she made it. The funny thing is that most of her adult life every winter she was spending in Florida - now she will be on the frozen north... She brought her 'winter clothes' (suitable for Florida of course) and I almost was rolling on the floor laughing - thank goodness I have good supply of parkas. Mom's visits are always long ones ... will see this time.
Last weekend we went for a ride to show her our marvelous north and the smallest ever desert.
Mom is almost 82 years young and I think she looks fabulous! Below is Mom with Freddy:
Now, let's talk about the stitchy stuff. I have finished my little towel
and this weekend I'm working on the Halloween House. The HS is a SAL with Linda and many others. Some ladies have already finished this project - I hope to have mine done by Halloween.
So long my friends,
Evalina
For sure Mom will need just a bit more than that scarf. You will have a lovely long visit.
ReplyDeleteYour HH is absolutely stunning on that fabric. What a great color choice. I'm quite sure you will be done by Halloween. I hope to have Good Morning finished up tomorrow.

Your halloween pieces look great. I think Freddy's mom is in for a rude awakening if she stays too long! I live in the north and they are nothing like YOUR winters! Have fun while she is there.
