Finally a finish!

Late last night, or early this morning if you prefer :), I managed to get my first finish in almost three months. Life got in the way, and quite frankly, I lost the desire to stitch. I really like this one and made myself put in 10 stitches at a time until I got into a groove and last night is the end result. I am very pleased with the way it turned out.

Here is the finished stitching:

Design: Halloween Mystery Sampler Part One bonus design, Haunted

Designer: Lizzie Kate

Fabric: 28 count evenweave fabric by Dyeing 4 U in Moonlight (Discontinued color and manufacturer).

Fiber Used: Old Maid of the Abyss by Hand Dyed Fibers

I have one other project that I is on my WIPocalypse list (or at least my version of it!) that I want to finish, as well as one more that I do not have on the list. Then I suppose I will need to make a WIPocalypse list for next year. Hard to believe that the year is drawing to a close and we will soon be celebrating Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love this time of year! :)

Well, I best be going. Tons to do today. Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! :)

It's Been A While

Howdy, y'all! It's been a while since I last posted. Life has just gotten in the way and I am not stitching as much as I have been, but these things happen, yea?

At any rate, I finally have gotten to where I feel like stitching, so I decided to start something new. Yes, I know, you're going to have a heart attack from that surprise. But nothing was really calling me and this one I have seen stitched in a variety of ways so far, and when I saw the design, this color combination immediately came to mind.

Enough of my blathering, let's get on with the show! :)

Closeup:

The Snoopy bag was purchased last night at Barnes and Noble. I thought it would be a cute bag to keep my Halloween projects in. :)

While I love the colors in the floss, I am disappointed in how un-silk like they actually feel. My apologies to the HDF fans out there in blog land, however, compared to my Caron Waterlilies and Au Ver A Soie and the Belle Soie silks, the HDF's do not feel as silky as the rest of them. It could just be me :). I've also had some issues with knotting and fraying a bit, but it's not as bad as metallics! :)

Well, I best be off. I think DH wants to go to the movies or go do something today. Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend! :)
