The Town Of Halloween

I finished stitching this pattern many moons ago, but finally got it put together as a pillow a few weeks back.

When we planted that baby tree all those years ago, I never thought I would see the day when it would be peeking over the top of our house like it is here...

Happy Halloween, everyone... thanks so much for stopping by!
