MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Booooooooooo

 I'm not normally a Halloween person, but for some reason I thought I should make a haunted house landscape piece, so this is the beginning....

                        There's a long way to go on this one!

- Because Christmas in July is a 'thing' (even though I know it's technically not still July!), perhaps you might like to make some of THESE ornaments.

- THIS is an interesting article.

- I've noticed granny squares are coming back in style lately, so when I saw THIS I thought I'd share in case someone is interested.  I rather like the plain coloured version.

- I love THIS (if I were a shawl-y type of person).

- THIS is awwww-worthy.

Today's quote...

    1. I always hesitate to show a landscape at this stage of development because I know it looks like pretty much a disaster, but it will get better (I hope!).

    1. I have ideas for what's coming next but have to finish some of the shading first.

  10. Your 'Halloween' house looks like one of those fabulous haunted Victorian houses. It's going to be fun to see what you do, Mary Anne.
