Boo needle book update

All the stitching on the Boo needle book from Just Nan is finished.


Now all I need to do is 'finish' it properly. I have made a start on the matching tin lid design but there's not much worth showing at the moment. After this I am going to start Midnight Ride, a freebie from the Kreinik website.

Witchie Renabest

I am currently stitching this Halloween piece - Witchie Renabest by Twisted Threads. I started this about a year ago! I intend to have it finished and turned into a pillow by this Halloween! !

Its enjoyable to stitch, I am now starting on french nots in the cauldron ......

I hope to show you the progress soon!

New Start

I started Lizzie Kate, If the broom fits! It is so cute, I think I might make it into an easel when it is done.


Hope everyone's week is going well.

WIP The Giving Sisters

I'm taking a chance here, with the continued problems with the blogs and Internet Explorer. I do wish that they would get the problems fixed!!



With that in mind, I'm keeping this brief! I wasn't going to post a photo until it was done, but my stitching time has been extrememly limited lately, so I presenting this, wrinkles and all!!



All of my stitching is fun, but there is something extra fanciful about working on a Halloween piece, and this one is no exception.

I hope that everyone has a safe holiday weekend!

At Your Own Risk

Here's my latest finish. I've been wanting to stitch it for awhile and since I seem to be on a Halloween stitching roll, I pulled the chart out.

Boo Needleroll finished

This is Boo Needleroll by Down Sunshine Lane. it is done on black linen and I changed some of the colors on it. It still has to be sewn up.
Then I started Halloween Fairy by Nora Corbett.

Boo needle book

This is my first Spooky start since joining this SAL. The Boo needle book from Just Nan's 'Over the top and in the tin' range. Here in the UK it is very difficult to get 30 count fabric so I have used 32 count Belfast linen (Crystal Peach). Shortly after starting, the middle and two pumpkins were done, this nearly became a UFO as I didn't like the way it looked stitched two over two. To me it looked really thick and 'clumpy'. So I started another one, this time doing it with one strand as you can imagine the coverage was poor. I was getting fed up. I really like Just Nan designs but this one was not working for me. A quick persevere with the two over two pep talk from my Mum and about half an hour later and I was back friends with the design, which is a good job as I have the tin lid in my stash and I had originally thought of stitching this again and turning it into a Halloween biscornu!
