November 3, 2012:

It has been a long time since my last post, but that doesn't mean I haven't been stitching.  Work has been busy and it has slowed me down some, but I have several projects in progress and a couple of finishes as well.  My first big finish is the Lizzie Kates - Very Scary Mystery Sampler SAL.  This is one of my favorite projects of all time.  I love Halloween and the colors are amazing.  There are also a few specialty stitches thrown in for extra visual interest.  I hope to have this one framed by next Halloween.







Along with Very Scary I finished the third bonus design, Scary.  I'm trying to decide how to finish the three bonus designs.  I'm thinking possibly pillow ornaments and starting a Halloween ornament tree for next year.


After finishing these projects I decided to stick with Lizzie Kate and the Halloween theme.  I started Halloween Rules and managed to finish it on Halloween.






You can probably tell that I love Halloween.  My boys do as well.  This year Christopher was Scooby Doo and Mark was General Grievous.  Here are the boys with their pumpkins, Christopher made a Hello Kitty pumpkin and Mark a Captain America pumpkin:



I am currently working on catching up on the Passione Ricamo Mystery Fairy SAL.  I'm working on Part III and have IV and V left to catch up on.  


I will try to start posting again more frequently.  After I get caught up on the Mystery Fairy I'm going to try to finish The Thimble Fairy and then I may start something for Christmas.
