ooooh.....scary!!!!

I have completed two more areas of my fall pillow cover.  I'm still working on camouflaging the long seam and as you can see in the photo I've added another vine to the left (button flowers; silk ribbon leaves and back stitch).  I also added a cute little cross stitch scarecrow.


  

Hope you have some fun with those links, and now here's your quote for the day (from Dale Carnegie).... "Let us not get so busy or live so fast that we can't listen to the music of the meadow or the symphony that glorifies the forest.  Some things in the world are far more important than wealth;  one of them is the ability to enjoy simple things"

    Great cross stitch patterns, Mary Anne, and I love your needle roll. I'm really jealous as I've never had a Lemon Meringue pie appear in my doorway when I've been sewing! Interesting links too! Barbara xx

    What a gorgeous little scarecrow you've created. Love the newest vine, which has again broken the long line for you.

    Thanks for sharing my link for the needle magnet, I hope others may try to make one also.

    I have fallen so far behind in reading blogs. I just started with your most recent post and read my way back. I love the journal you are sharing photos of and your journal covers turned out gorgeous! The trip to the zoo sounds like it was a fun one. And, I just love all of the additions to your fall pillow. Your work is always lovely!
