hop hop hoppin . . .

Hello!! Welcome to my contribution to the Hallowe'en Trick or Treat Mystery Phrase Hop, hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching!  I'll scare...errrr....share some spooky stitching with you, along with a letter, and a link to the next blog!  You collect all the letters and guess the mystery phrase!!  Doesn't that sound like fun?

Fall has definitely found its way to the camp . . . 
I love the changing leaves!  We have such a variety of trees, we get all kinds of color when the season arrives!
I love to decorate seasonally, and this is my favorite time of year for it.  I've gotten to the point where most of my decor is hand made!  And while I'm not really into scary stuff, a tad of Hallowe'en "fright" can be fun . . .
This hexi table topper is spooky enough with the owl and the black cats and spider webs!  But stars and candy corn temper the ring of fire!
Full moon . . . adds to the spookiness of the season!

Tell me though, how spooky can a jack-o-lantern really be, with a great big grin like this one is wearing?!
This was a fun wool felt project that I really enjoyed stitching up!

I haven't done a lot of stitching this fall . . . my Nook is a mess (and needs a dedicated week of tending), and what with Todd's treatments and retiring, life has been crazy!!  I did get over to visit the grands last week for a paint day . . .
We had a hauntingly good time painting spooky little touches on pre-printed pictures!!  Of course, any day with the grands is going to be the best!

Okay, okay . . . enough of all that and let's get to the alphabet!
My letter was "G" (just in case it was hard to tell).   Now be off with you and hurry on over to Beth's Needlework Stash for your next clue!  And be sure to stop by Jo's blog — she's such a fantastic hostess!!

I'll be back soon with a proper update!  Happy Hallowe'en!!

:)

I am up early for the Quiltville Mystery Introduction so I saw this. Cute grands. I don't decorate to much for Halloween. I make up for it in December. I added the LINK for the Hop to my Yesterday's Blog Post. Thanks

Oh yes, such beautiful colours!
I love your table topper, great fabric pieces.
Awe, making memories with your grands, priceless.
Witching you a Happy Halloween!

Thanks for taking part in the Hop this year. I love all your autumnal colours and that gorgeous patchwork too. I am sure the grands are not at all scary either!

Oh, my goodness, that first photo of Autumn at the camp just takes my breath away. It makes me want to get lost there!
Of course you have very fun, cute Halloween decor. I don't like "spooky", either. But I barely got out my little Halloween quiltlets last weekend, and now I am putting them away to make way for the fall stuff. The Full moon photo is perfect for the mood. :)
Looks like a fun painting party!
Oh, BTW, your package was sent off to you yesterday. I forgot to text you and let you know.

The trees are beautiful! Yes, a spooky grin from your jack o' lantern! He's perfect😊

How is Todd doing? I don't decorate for Halloween much, either, but I did pull out my Halloween placemats that I finally finished last year (they were UFO's for about 10 years).

Wow, what a gorgeous autumn landscape! Thank you for the letter.

I love your post. Thanks for sharing and joining in the hop. I agree with you about the fun smile on your pumpkin. Makes him just lovely indeed and not so scary. Thanks for the letter. Off to continue my hunt.
