Nothing new for Sept :(

I'm sorry to say, I didn't get a September ornie stitched but I did manage to get a couple of my other ones finished into ornaments:

I'm so pleased I got so many new Halloween ornies because of this SAL.  I'm not sure if I'll get any more stitched before the end of the year but I plan on getting them all turned into ornaments.  Christmas is fast approaching and though I'm not as far behind as last year, I've got a bit of work to do yet.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Some of my finishes for the year

It doesn't look like I'm going to get a new ornie done this month.  Actually, I haven't even begun it yet and have other projects lined up for the rest of August.   But with Halloween quickly approaching, I have taken some time to ornamentify a few of them.  I hope you enjoy them.

Change of plans

Originally I was going to stitch Bad Neighborhood for July but I recently won a traveling pattern and decided to stitch it instead.  It's called Quaker Moon by Bent Creek.  I guess it technically would qualify for July's spiders/bats theme (it does have a few small bats on it) but since it has a bigger owl, I decided to stitch October's owl now.  This way I can finish it and get the pattern back on the road.  Then in October, I'll stitch the spiders in Bad Neighborhood.

R.I.P. for June

I started and finished my June ornament over the weekend.  It was a very quick stitch.  I changed the border from cross stitch blocks to smyrna crosses.

My choice for next month is Bad Neighborhood by Ink Circles.

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.

March and April finished

My ornies for March and April are finished (stitched, that is).  For March it's Haunted House by Handblessings:

April's is called Night Owl by Prairie Schooler:

And I even have one picked out for May but I can't remember what it's called or the designer right now .... but it's a ghost playing the saxophone.  It will be a gift for my nephew, who is learning to play the sax.  How perfect is that??

This is such fun!

Just a little late . . . .

I finished my February ornament a week ago or so - actually I did 2 of them because I didn't like the first one (the grey fabric) I stitched -- it will become a gift for someone.  I'm happier with the second one -- and I will keep it:

I'm working on March's haunted house and have all hopes it will be done in time.  Hopefully, things will slow down in the near future and I can get more stitching time in.

Bountiful Kitties finished!

I'm so pleased I finally finished this one.  If I recall correctly, I even have a frame that I bought for it so many years ago.  Now if I can just find it ......

My choice for next month is Scaredy Cat from Blue Ribbon Designs.  I got it from Just Cross Stitch Halloween Collection published in 2011.

January's Pumpkins (with crows, bats, a full moon and 3 black cats)

Hello all!  My name is Marcy and I'm so happy to participate in this SAL (thanks for organizing it Lainey!). 

I love stitching Halloween things -- Autumn is one of my favorite seasons.  My first ornament is a Mill Hill kit called Bountiful Kitties.  I'm going to cheat a little for January because I've had this started for probably three years now but never seem to get it finished.  This is the first (and probably the last) time I stitched on paper and, quite frankly, I don't like it.   If I were to do another of these kits, I would stitch on fabric instead.  However, I hate to not finish this one because I like it so much -- it's just too cute.  And so I'm going to take this opportunity to finally finish(!) it.

I look forward to seeing some fun Halloween ornaments and getting to know everyone.
