Halloween is 4 months away!

You're welcome!

Nothing like a little reminder. I have finally broken away from several new un-spooky starts to work on my Witch on a Broom, and to start Witchy Brew:

I will be backstitching her, the broom, and kitty once the border is done. This is gonna make a cute pillow. And finally, here is Witchy Brew, missing more words, more cup and the ghost:

After I have these two designs done, I'm thinking of stitching some Halloween ornaments from the last years JCS Halloween magazine and some freebies that I have. I can't wait to get my hands on that JCS Halloween book that's coming out in September. I see at least one ONS that's offering a pre-order for it.

Hope your weekend is going great! 

Witches Riding By

Here is my latest spooky finish, Witches Riding By from Lavender Wings. This was stitched as charted using DMC floss on the recommended fabric 36 count Sand Edinburgh linen.

Halloween Chart Sale!

For those of us that don't have enough Halloween charts already (and we KNOW who we are, so I don't need to start naming names. .lol), Everything CrossStitch has put all of their Halloween offerings on sale, giving us slowpokes the needed time to complete our projects by the time October rolls around! Now how thoughtful is that??


I've already found several that I don't already have, that I can't live without. .how about you?
 

1 over Nightmare

Hi all!

Hope this Memorial Day is finding you all thinking of all those great men and women who have served and died in service to this great nation of ours!

Onward to stitching news! I have been stitching on Winifred the Witch until I got to the 1 over for the eyes and the mouth. I'm getting my butt kicked by the 1 over..hence the title of this post! I have so butchered the eye area that I got discouraged and put Winifred down. Here she is:

That left eyebrow went well and then things went downhill stitching the eyelashes and the eye. Once I buy a new pair of glasses, I will return to her. The next spooky project up next is this:

It's so cute! I have to buy one skein of GAST Blackboard but I have the fab and other threads for it. And I checked...there are no 1 over on this one!!

Have a great 4-day week!
