Jo's March Finish (almost!)

The house itself is finished!  There are just some words to be added underneath the house.

Actually it's more of a Haunted Castle but hey - an Englishwoman's Home is her Castle so this is my house!


I've stitched this on Burnt Orange 28 count using one strand of black over 1.  You should be prepared to see this combination quite alot over the coming year.

The design is a freebie found on this blog - la contesse le point de croix

I'm still deciding on April's stitch, free choice is sooo hard sometimes.

Elaine's March Ornament

Here's my Haunted House for March. It's stitched on 14 ct plastic canvas. The chart is a freebie from Lucie Heaton that I've had saved for a while. I added some sparkly felt to the back. I got this felt a long time ago. It had a .10c clearance sticker on it and now I wish I would have bought more. It's perfect for things like this. For the hanger I just braided 3 of the colors in the design. Now...what to stitch for April... :)

Jo's March Choice

Techically this is more of a Haunted Castle than a Haunted House but it's been on my list since I saw it last Hallowe'en - 


will probably stitch this on the same burnt orange fabric I used for February and use 1 strand over 1 again to make it a more manageable size - 5 inches rather than 10!
