I thought it was high time that I get back to blogging after a several weeks hiatus and what a better way than with another free pattern right? More about that in a bit. :o)
We were on our annual cottage vacation recently in the Muskoka area of Ontario and even though I missed the comforts of home (electricity for instance), I can't help wishing I was still sitting by the water and listening to the loons. It's a very isolated cottage with an entire lake to ourselves and that's one of the main reasons we keep going back year after year. It was Stella's first time going to the cottage and she just loved it! Here is a photo of my baby playing around in the sand by the lake:

My goals from the previous post are coming along "just okay". I did manage to get more rows done on my crochet afghan (check) and while I finished the stitching on the little Sue Hillis design, I still have to fashion it into an ornie for my kitchen. I'm looking for time to work on my Elizabethan Garden Sampler and that might come this weekend. If I get the next square in the pattern stitched, I will jump for joy, lol.
Anyway, to the main point of this post.....the free Halloween pattern. It is a small, monochrome design and will take you no time at all to stitch. Me on the other hand, well it's taking me ages to put one foot in front of the other these days so I decided to get it posted before Halloween comes and goes. I have a wee bit more to go on mine as you can see in these photos:
I think I may finish mine mattress style or maybe use it as a topper for a Halloween treat box! Hope you like the pattern! Enjoy!
Creepy Hollow pattern
Cheers,
Erynne



Super creepy! I love it. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteStella is moving quickly from baby to little girl. So adorable!
Yes, Stella is growing by leaps and bounds....physically and mentally! We need some more hair though, lol!
DeleteMerci pour la grille. Nous approchons doucement de l'automne.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Josette!
DeleteYour daughter is so precious! I appreciate the work you put into a gift chart, even though I do not celebrate Halloween.
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup pour cette grille
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome for the pattern! Thank you for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pattern for Halloween Erynne. Thank you so much. When we were living in NH we would go to a cottage for a week usually every summer. Loved the lake and all of nature there. Little Stella looks like she is enjoying herself for sure.
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me what floss and fabric you used? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome, Linda! Stella really enjoyed her time playing in the sand and I was impressed that she didn't try to eat it! :o)
ReplyDeleteHi Rosa...thank you for visiting my blog. I used WDW Onyx and the fabric is 28ct Tobacco cashel linen which can be purchased from Anita:

What joy to find your new blog. Have missed you while you tended your Stella WIP, warmest congrats, she's a most precious finish;) Good to have you back Erynne, plz don't leave us again!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue!
DeleteIt has been a nice distraction to have a blog again and of course I missed all of the blogging stitchers. Stella keeps me very busy so there will be gaps in my blog post for a couple of years. I plan on sticking around!
I had lost track of you/your blog and am thrilled to have "found" it again. I also love the design :)
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Thanks for remembering me, Debbie! I'm glad to blog again and glad you like my little design. :o)
DeleteFound you again via Sweet Sue and am soooo glad I did!!!! Congrats on your daughter ~ she is adorable!! Looking forward to following you again!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Catherine! Stella is such a good baby and she has me wrapped around her little finger, lol.
DeleteSweet Sue pointed me your way - and that's a great thing. Love the freebie - thanks so much! Your DD, Stella, is a doll baby!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to blogging, Erynne--you were missed :) Love the photo of little Stella playing in the sand--that sounds like my kind of vacation!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the freebie--it is adorable :)
Awww, thanks Carol! I missed everyone too! You are very welcome for the freebie! :o)
DeleteI found your blog by way of Annie's. Thanks for the freebie!
ReplyDeleteYour little girl is adorable. Isn't it great how kids can have some much fun just digging in the sand?
You are welcome, Jan and thank you for visiting my blog! I sometimes think we grown ups should be more like kids and do things like dig in the sand! Kids seem to be born knowing how to make fun! :o)
DeleteThis is such a wonderful design! Thanks! :o)
ReplyDeleteCathi
