a last minute Halloween pennant

Are you ready for Halloween?

I wasn't until a few days ago...

I had set up the front porch with pumpkins

and this cool pillow,

but nothing inside...

But with the addition of these pennants,

I feel ready!

I followed this tutorial from Diary of a Quilter

and sewed the pennants pretty fast,

using left over fabric from my Halloween pillow:

a mix of orange and Halloween prints (recent and quite old, I am a collector!)

and some black bias binding.

The brick fireplace seemed like the perfect corner to set up

a little Halloween vignette:

It seemed a little too early to start a fire,

so instead I light some candles.

I am more of battery candles for safety reason,

but I feel quite comfortable lighting really candles in the fireplace!

Of course a little scary literature, a hot drink in a caldron mug

and a warm blanket make for the perfect evening!

Unless you lose your spot to the dog!

Bosco is a big fan of my Tartan blanket.....

Happy Halloween!
