A Blessed Samhain/Halloween to All!

This is the first Samhain that I have had to work since finding my spiritual calling and I am very sad and disappointed, but at least I have a job!

May you all remember those in your life that have passed onto their next life, think about the past year and keep close to your heart the things you want to do differently in this next turn of the wheel and if your little one's are trick or treating, keep them safe and warm!

Can't wait until October!

Enjoy my halloween Friends!

So what do you think?

I stitched this with Carrie's Threads Halloween thread, it is a great Halloween thread!

Coming Soon!!

In a couple days I will put up my Halloween cross stitch 2009 freebie!

Think cauldron, key, crescent moon of course cats!

Needing a Camera

I wish I had a camera!

My son Mike's mother in-law didn't know my camera was in Steph's purse and threw it into the livingroom and my camera broke. They say they are buying me a new one, but haven't.

My son Joey came home from school yesterday with 2 plaques from last year when he was in grade 10. The first is for getting honor roll marks in math, not just math but college level math!!!

The 2nd was with a cheque for $100.00 from the Home Builder's Association for honor roll marks in his construction classes. He also received a pin saying he was an honor roll student!! I am so very proud of him and his acheivements!

I need to take pictures of him with his plaques, I need updated pictures of the baby with and without his parents and I need to take pictures of a bunch of cross stitch I have completed in the last few months. Oh well, looks like I will be buying a new one, myself.

Next weekend is Halloween or in my religion, Samhain! It is a time to remember all those who have gone to the Summerland before us and to celebrate and honor the dead.
I have started to pickup items for my altar, some fall flowers, apples, pomagranate, special candles and oils and I am going to be celebrating the loss of my Grandmothers, a Grandfather, a niece my Uncle George and Uncle Don along with rememberances for Murphy (my dog), Buddy and Torrie (my cats) that have past. There are friends that have past in my life and will light a candle for them as well on this glorious weekend of celebration.

Having a camera would be nice so I can post pictures of my altar with all the wonderful decorations and adornments.

The single most important thread in this blog seems to be a camera

Well this past week has been very interesting, who knew they could do a hysterectomy with OUT cutting you open? I didn't! The doctor says that I will heal faster, but man the gas pains make me believe I am having back labour!

One good thing, I have given up Diet Coke, and cut way back on smoking, hoping to quit that too!

I have been stitching a little, working on a cute wedding sampler (my design) for my dear friend Kerrie, who I could NOT talk out of getting married LOL but Larry is a good guy so I guess it should be ok. Today is their wedding which I had planned to crash the reception, but since I am still not allowed to drive or go far, I will not be doing that!

I am also working on a halloween witch in purple, yeah I know BIG surprise there lol I want to start more halloween stitching while I am off too! And finish the purse I started stitching my mom last year.
