Jo's August Finish

I missed July as I was busy stitching my cousin's wedding sampler.  Pop over to my blog if you want to see the most amazing wedding cake ever!

This month I decided to stitch a nice small design to make sure I was able to complete it.

Here is Julia Lucas' Trick or Treat from Just Cross Stitch Hallowe'en Special 2013:

They are nearly all beads and great fun to stitch.  I have decided to make my ornies into little open topped bags and put chocolates in each one on our Hallowe'en tree.  We are having a Hallowe'en tree for the first time this year.  I'll try find something suitable or I might just go into the field and chop a branch off a tree!!

September is Hallowe'en Words.  I wrote down some notes at the beginning of the year so I'll have to check them out and see what I thought of for that one.

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.

Pat's July Spider

Itty Bitty Kitty - Halloween

by Sweetheart Tree

The silver flower beads came with the chart.

I purloined the spider button

from a Frankenstein chart which I didn't stitch.

It's cute, but not "me."

I may give this one away.

No ornament for July.  It has been a very busy summer.  Hope to stitch my August ornament, Witch Hat by Erica Michaels 2005.

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.

June Ornament

Here is my June ornament.  Not found of scary things but the ghost reminded me of Casper the Friendly Ghost.  Does anyone remember him?

July will be Bad Neighbor by Tracy Horner from Just Cross Stitch magazine 2012.
