Happy Halloween

Well, I got it done. I will pack it away until next year when I get inspired to make it into a displayable piece of art. Meanwhile - - done is done. I am hovering around 90 completed projects this year. That number is low but I still have a few more days.

Halloween won't go away!!


I put together a bunch of things to take on vacation to stitch. I didn't stitch most of it. This is one that I had started and will hopefully now finish. I am still waiting for beads on the BAP so I might just as well get this one done.

Let It Snow - LHN

I believe this is LHN and was in a Just Cross Stitch magazine - last year? I don't care for the white on the slightly blue fabric. It doesn't show up very well. I ran out of blue - so my birds are red. I ran out of Winter White so I used B5200 (for the snowman). It is cute and quite appropriate for today's weather problems. I saw rain yesterday and flakes today. The big news is the wind and the cold!! Brrrr.

Random Thoughts


This is the piece by Drawn Thread titled Random Thoughts. I have been working on this for many, many years. I ran out of fabric half way through. I then puzzled on how to marry the two pieces together. I did that only to discover that one border was definitely not right. So I took an afternoon and put the border to rights. The instructions are to fold the edges under and hemstitch between the border and the main body of the piece. I am not sure how that will work.
