May Ornament

Here is Spooky Tree from The Trilogy.  I just love the two little ghosts in this piece.

Katie's May Finished

I totally forgot to post what piece I picked to stitch before. I've just been so busy. But at least I finished it. This is from Leisure Arts Nov 98 magazine. It was supposed to have a 2nd spider where the 2013 is but I thought it was too much.

I love watching what everyone has choose to stitch and Congrats on all the too cute picks for each month. Good luck with next month!

Jo's May Finish

I decided to go for the small and cute Ghost this month.  This is by a new-to-me designer, Val's Stuff as featured in the 2012 Hallowe'en Ornie Special of JCS.

I stitched it on 32 count twilight blue linen, and used the recommended colours but changed the stars to yellow smyrna stitches and the cat's eyes to green french knots instead of yellow.

I'm going to make this one into a little trick or treat mini bag and give it away on my Hallowe'en Blog Hop this October.  Unless I put it in a safe place and can't find it again...

Here is the backing fabric I chose:

I'm struggling to find a good choice for tombs or Mummies but I think I have a plan!  It involves an existing design and a pencil and graph paper.  watch this space!

My little ghost

Small and spooky, and from the looks of it ready to catch some rays.  Can ghosts do that?  My little ghost and I wish you all a happy stitching June full of frightful fun!

My Ghost choice for May

Hello Everyone,

This is what I decided to stitch for this months Halloween ornament.

This is an older pattern from San-Man Originals. I will be stitching the one with the ghost and black cat.

A cool ghost

May's ghost is finished (and isn't he one cool dude?):

I haven't decided on June's project yet.  I have a couple pattern's in mind but that could change as I shop around.

April's Ornament

I finally finished stitching my April ornament.  This is The Stocking from La D Da.  It can be found on the JCS 2012Halloween Collector's Issue.  

I am not a big fan of ghosts, so I am going to stitch something else for May.  Just not sure what that will be yet.

Elaine's May Ornament

Trying this again. If it works I'll delete my other post. Hopefully my pic will load this time. :)

This is the ornament I have chosen to stitch for my May ornament. This will be my first attempt at stitching a Mill Hill ornament so we'll see how it goes. :)

Well, it worked! It took forever though! Guess I just wasn't patient enough last time. :)

Hugs, Elaine

Witch One?

I'm a little late posting for April.  Wow, did that month fly by or is it just me?!  My pick this month is "Witch One" by Nancy Greenberg in the 2012 Halloween issue of Just Cross Stitch magazine.  Stitched on oatmeal Aida with DMC floss.  She's held together with DMC memory floss. 

Jo's March Finish, April Non-start and May's Choice

I think that covers everything!

Here is the design I stitched for Haunted House in March scrapbooked on a suitable spooky paper:

This is a freebie from La Contesse's blog.  I changed it slightly to make it square and added a little witch charm instead of the charted stitched bats.  It is stitched over 1 on 28count burnt orange Jazlyn.  

I didn't manage to stitch anything for April's Free Choice because I was busy with Easter giveaway prizes so I thought we'd skip a month and dive straight into May's Ghost.

I have a choice of two, one is from JCS Hallowe'en Special 2012, a simple ghost with the word Boo in orange.  The other is a freebie from a new blog called Snowflower Diaries, you may have heard of it?  It will probably come down to time (or lack thereof!)

April Finish - Tiki Stitches

I picked out a design for April and started stitching.  Then I started stitching on a bunch of other things and ran out of April.  Anyway, here’s the end result.

 

It’s from the JCS 2012 Halloween issue.  The pattern is called Spells by The Stitcherhood.  I’m already thinking about doing this again (someday) and changing the colors.  Right now it’s time to move on to the ghosts for May.

Happy Stitching.
