Happy Halloween!

Hi all! This late in the evening I imagine the trick or treating is over in your neighborhood. We don't get trick or treaters on my street and all my neighbors except for a young family next door are older and kids have flown the coop.

I have FFO's, and spooky progress to show. I haven't stitched much in the last week. Stitching mojo took a hiatus! 

Let's do progress first..Early Witches by the Primitive Hare..before..

And after..

Tituba the witch is halfway done. I changed her skin color from black to DMC 869, as I like to call it, cafe au lait. I will be putting this away for a bit.

Thistles and Spells Pinkeep from Stacy Nash..before..

And now..

I ran out of the black which is WDW Kohl and GAST Apple Cider for the border and the big plant in the middle. Yup. I usually am able to raid a kitted project for needed floss but not this time. I did have the Apple Cider but it does not match what I have stitched. If I had all the floss I needed this would have been finished! So I'll get the floss and set this aside too.

Truth be told, I'm ready to move on as I have been stitching Halloween all month long except for this last week. 

However, I caught the FFO bug last weekend! Here is Winnie the Witch, an extra with the Spooked Mystery Sampler from LK..

Next to Winnie is the freebie from Hands on Designs, just a simple little pillow. Winnie is a flat ornament that is trimmed with black and orange bakers twine and also as the hanger.

I finally FFO'd Wicked from Barbara Ana..

I finished this a year or two ago so it needed to be an FFO. Look at the poison label I used to cover the opening on the back..

This next one I'm really happy with. It's one of those Postcards from The Heart projects from the Summerhouse Stitcheworks where you stitch the design then mount it on a burlap covered wood frame and add all sorts of trinkets and what not. This one is the Halloween one..

The design is on 40ct. I had no idea what to do with this one! Once I cut the fabric to go under the stitched piece, I knew what I was going to do. I had the orange and black flower trim there on the left and glued that on and just went from there. On the sides I glued on a ribbon..

I just love it! Sometimes less is more, you know!

I also bought polyfil to finish stuffing this..

It's cute as a button! I backed it with the red horseshoe fabric..

I could not find the Mountain Mist fiberloft that Vonna swears by at Joanne's like I did last time. I was not about to buy the cheaper stuff because to me, it does not stuff good. It doesn't stay in the corners and all those little fibers stick thru my fabric. So I took a look at the other types and found one that was identical to Mountain Mist. I opened a little hole in the plastic to have a feel and it felt like the good stuff!

So what are the plans for the rest of the year? Well, I have an exchange piece that needs to arrive the first week of December out to Pennsylvania. I have two stitched Christmas ornaments that are not FFO'd so I could use one of those. A good thing too because I'm not sure if my stitching mojo will come back! I decided not to join in on Terri/Dixie Samplars latest exchange. The 1st of December I would like to stitch on BBD Christmas Garden and maybe get a few more Christmas ornaments stitched. As I type this I'm just not feeling it! Yikes. Maybe if I watch some flosstube I'll get some inspiration. We shall see.

I think that's it! It is 10:51 pm and I'm ready to hit the sack. Thanks for stopping by! Take care!
