September 24–25, 2026 brings two striking skywatching moments: before dawn on September 24, the Pleiades, Aldebaran, and Uranus form a line-like arrangement, with Uranus requiring binoculars or a telescope. On September 25, Mars forms a straight line with the bright Gemini stars Castor and Pollux in the morning sky. �

Pumpkins are too expensive to not have them last!

Northern Lights may be visible across parts of the northern United States tonight, September 24, as elevated geomagnetic activity interacts with Earth’s magnetic field. The aurora is most likely from darker locations away from city lights, but visibility is never guaranteed and depends on real-time conditions. �

Throwback Thursday: Our custom framer, Bonnie Safran, stitched “The Haunting” in 2015… the year it was released by The Drawn Thread. She replaced the designer’s initials with RIP using the provided alphabet. Love the textured inner mat! Charts are $10 and we have several in stock.

September 26, 2026 — Harvest Moon
The image highlights the September 2026 Full Moon, known as the Harvest Moon. It reaches full illumination on September 26, 2026. The Harvest Moon is the full Moon closest to the September equinox, which is why it carries this seasonal name. �
Time and Date +1
The Moon will appear very bright and prominent around sunset and into the evening, although the exact moonrise time depends on your location. The actual moment of full illumination occurs during daylight for much of North America, so the best viewing opportunity is around the following evening/night when the Moon is above the horizon. �
Almanac
The Harvest Moon has a long connection with the autumn harvest because its seasonal timing historically provided farmers with bright moonlight after sunset, giving them additional light for evening work. �
Almanac
For India, the full Moon occurs at about 10:19 PM IST on September 26, 2026. �
Time and Date
Important: The Moon in the graphic is an artistic representation. Its unusually large size and golden appearance are mainly visual effects; the Moon does not suddenly become physically much larger during the Harvest Moon.

Dear Stitchers, evening comes, and with it the candles light and the pumpkins glow. It’s time to finally show you my new pattern from the “Welcome” series, this time, for the first time, dedicated not to the seasons but to the holidays! I present to you my Welcome Halloween, which unlike the seasons contains two additional squares! The pattern therefore contains everything Halloween-related: Jack O’Lantern, the little ghost, the witch, the haunted house, the bat, the spiders, the witch’s shoes, and so on.
As always, you can stitch the complete pattern as you see it, or divide it into twelve small ornaments to decorate your Halloween branch.
I’m more than sure you’ll have a lot of fun stitching it! I hope you’ll adopt it and that it brings you joy and lightheartedness!
See you soon with more witchy news!

Thanks, as always, to my dear model stitcher Emanuela Dossetto for stitching this pattern so quickly!

You can find my new Welcome Halloween pattern in my Etsy shop – https://littlestitchershop.etsy.com

Care Ricamatrici, giunge la sera, e con essa le candele si accendono e le zucche brillano. È il momento di mostrarvi finalmente il mio nuovo schema della serie “Welcome”, questa volta, per la prima volta, dedicato non più alle stagioni ma alle festività! Vi presento il mio Welcome Halloween, che a differenza delle stagioni contiene due parti in più! Nello schema troverete pertanto tutto ciò che riguarda Halloween, la zucca di Jack O’Lantern, il fantasmino, la strega, la casa infestata, il pipistrello, i ragnetti, le scarpe da strega, e così via.
Come sempre potete ricamare lo schema completo così come lo vedete, oppure suddividerlo in dodici piccoli ornament per decorare il vostro ramo di Halloween.
Sono più che sicura che vi divertirete moltissimo a ricamarlo! Pertanto spero che vorrete adottarlo e che vi porti gioia e leggerezza!
A presto, con altre stregose novità!

Ringrazio come sempre la mia cara model stitcher Emanuela Dossetto per aver ricamato lo schema!

Potete trovare il mio nuovo schema Welcome Halloween nel mio negozio Etsy – https://littlestitchershop.etsy.com
