Halloween is a big deal in our family — especially for my sister, Mary. Every year she decorates her whole house and has a big family party. Also, my little brother, Larry, was born on Halloween, so we always made a big fuss over him. Larry was born with many health and developmental problems and he died very young at only 33. All five of us are about 5 years apart — Mary and Larry were born late in my parents’ marriage (my mother was 40 and 45), and they were always very close.
Just in case you want to stitch up some Halloween goodies, here are a some vintage Artex liquid embroidery transfers. Happy Halloween Mary and Larry!
Is that Samantha Stevens on that broom?
The Mister and I were introduced at a Halloween party by some dear friends. Not a costume party, an ‘after trick or treating with the kids’ chili supper. The wife told me the he wanted my phone number and the husband told him that I wanted him to call me! (They were very sneaky!) So Halloween has a special significance to us, as well!
Thanks, Martha! I love that pumpkin that’s next to the bat. The bat is pretty great, too, but I think I’d be creeped out embroidering it. (Not a big fan of bats, at least indoors, which is where they were in the first house we owned.)
Thank you so much!
