Halloween Finish Or Two

Hi stitchy friends, thank you for all your birthday wishes and comments.

This week daylight savings started. Which means the clock went forward 1 hour.

 It's been hard getting used to, all that sun for longer and it's also been hard getting up in the mornings when I just want to sleep more. I hate the 1st/2nd week when the time changes. You get used to it but it takes a while.

I stayed with my plan from last week. Are you all in stock ha ha.

I finished Wicked by Barbara Ana Designs

Here is last weeks again

And all done

The box with the date took forever to stitch. I'm happy with how it looks.

Next I got out Wanda's Witchery by mill hill 

Every time I get this one out, I feel like I was wrong to stitch it on fabric and ivory fabric at that. I've started this 3 times now I think and don't want to start it again. I do a little then put it away. It's one I'm not sure about but don't want to start all over again so just keep stitching.

Here is before 

And now

Next was Halloween greetings fae wip, by Passione Ricamo

And now with more of her dress

The black in her dress has rainbow gallery, so does a little of the purple and that little bit of orange. 

I think I've said this before but I hate using rainbow gallery, give me kreinik any day. Rainbow gallery is so thin that you have to blend it with the dmc, it breaks very easy and when it knots, it's hard to undo. Kreinik on the other hand is not thin, so can use without blending. When it knots it's easy to undo and I don't have many breaking on me. I would change over for this project but I've already got the rainbow gallery and I'm not going to be using it on anything else. I don't want to waste my money by not using it. 

Today I got another finish in Dracula by mill hill and he's so cute

I still have lots of Halloween charts, Wips to stitch but I have to say my mermaid Sal is calling me. Maybe in November the Sal will be the first one I stitch on. We will see.

So how's everyone's October stitching going? Lots of Halloween stitching I hope.

Until next week happy scary stitching!

Stitch Everything, End With A Finish

Hi stitchers, thanks for all your nice comments.

This week I didn't know what I wanted to stitch, so I just picked at random and stitched on them for a few days or even just one day.

Halloween Quaker

Before

I just stitched the 4 cats

New start I've been wanting to do Epic Storybook Princesses by cloudsfactory. I'm stitching it in 3 parts and making a few little changes which you will see when I do it.

Here is my start on part 1 just the top border.

Next I got out Halloween magic (Halloween greetings fae) by Passione Ricamo 

Here is before

And now, not much. The black is part of the cat.

I was looking around at other stitchers projects and found a stitched picture which got me saying "I have that chart". I got it out and found 14 count iced coffee Aida by sew it all (I think it's that) and got the dmc, sadly I didn't have every color and didn't want to wait so did a few changes.

The chart 1995 Prairie Fairie by The Prairie Schooler

And I finished it late last night. I didn't do all the backstitch as I didn't like it. I think it still looks good with the few color changes I had to make. I love how she holds a real needle too.

That's my week. 

Today I plan to start another new one, I have two right now that I really want to stitch.

I've also added a few things to my giveaway that will not be shown.

Don't forget to go into it by 11th September 2018. 

Until next time happy stitching!!!
