Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to share my only two Halloween finishes for this year. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to stitch for so I'm a little bummed to only have two pieces finished.
Scary Halloween
Cherrywood Design Studio
Stitched on WDW Cashel Linen ~ Pumpkin
WDW & GAST Threads as Charted
I started Scary Halloween while at the Pals Fall Fling. I finally finished it this morning and started right in on the finishing. It took me 4 hours to finish this little beauty. I put the clothespins on to hold it down while the glue dried and went outside do some yard work. I came back in, took the clothespins off and realized I had the pieces on the wrong sides. To my horror it read WEEN! HALLO- HAPPY.
So what's a girl to do? Well......I started trying to pull it apart. I was able to get it apart but in doing so I stretched the fabric. I glued it back together and here is the end result. It's a little whopper-jawed but I'll have to live with it. I still love the design and will proudly display it in my house.
I decided to join a cross stitch Halloween card exchange. Here is the card I made. I had fun finishing this card and will probably do more. I hope it made someone smile on Halloween.
I've been working on more exchanges and will have more to show you very soon.
I think tonight I'll start on a Little House Needleworks I've been waiting to stitch. I received some linen that is perfect for it in my grab bag from the fall fling.
Thank you for taking time to look at my stitching. I love sharing it with you and thank you for stopping by!
Keep on stitchin' on,

That is a lot of stitching you got done this week!! I really think it looks great. But, I would have said that I stitched 4 pieces if I were you - LOL!!
Your card looks cool too. Can't wait to see what the card looks like that you receive.
Can't tell it's whopper jawed at all! It looks fabulous! And I can't wait for an opportunity to use the phrase whopper jawed again!! You're the best :)
What wonderful finishes! I especially love Scary Halloween--it looks like it must have been so much fun to stitch :)
Nan- Saw your post about our design & had a great giggle over your finishing "oops" - sounds like something WE would do (we won't go into that...) It looks wonderful - thanks for the support & keep stitchin'

You are very inspiring at how much stitching you get done and beautiful your work looks, even if there is an 'oopsie' in it. :-)
Nice finishing :)
I'd say that's a big finish for Halloween, and would display it proudly, too! Your card is a cutie, too! Great stitching!
