The kids went to Daytona Beach this morning about 5 am to see the sunrise.  I thought I would share some of the photos with you.  It's very beautiful till all the people get there.

I have always been fascinated by elderly peoples hands....call me weird....but I think you can see a person's life in their hands.  When I saw this picture on Pinterest, it immediately caught my attention and I wanted to share.  It's simply called "Amour".

Here is my October page for the SAL I'm hosting.  I found some really Halloweenish green Lugana in my stash and used that for both pieces.  The heart is a freebie which is suppose to have been for Valentines day but I noticed that no one has ever done a heart...that I can think of...for Halloween so this is my version.  I did the roses in a spiderweb stitch with silk ribbon for the leaves.  The hardanger was done using pearl cotton and the eyelets were done using a Gloriana silk in bewitching colors.  I added beads to the center of each square and I kind of like my Halloween Heart.  The little bat up in the corner is all beads and he was also a freebie.  

If you haven't been over to the SAL pages, please check them out and see what beautiful work is being done by all the stitchers.  I am very impressed every month by each and every one of them and we only have two months to go.  This year has gone fast!
