A Hallowe'en Dance

I think that says it nicely, I'd hoped to stitch and finish some ornaments by Halloween and I actually succeeded! - miracles do happen LOL... so I guess I can have a Happy Hallowe'en dance.

"Batty Jack" - Just Nan (JCS Halloween Ornament issue)

You should really see this!

Now I can't sew very well so I'm no expert and I have two boys - so maybe I'm even less of an expert, but this little girls dress is beyond beautiful and you could win it!

So, if I've whetted your appetite, go and check this out...

A Surprise!

I feel a bit guilty because I received a lovely surprise from Wendy Jo a week ago and haven't shared it ( I did say thank you straight away though)and it's so lovely, it deserves to be shared!

My very first floss tag and the first one I've seen IRL (I've only seen pictures 'til now).

It's a freebie from Homespun Elegance called "Fall".

I have this pattern myself and think I may now have to make some matching accessories :)

Thank you Wendy Jo for such a lovely surprise, I love it!

Is this just a nice way of saying that I'm strange???

Ornie for Terry

Terry has received the ASEO Halloween ornament I sent and I can breathe a sigh of relief. Firstly, because it arrived safely and she likes it and secondly, because I've been on tenterhooks since I received hers, as I chose the same design as she did!

I'm so glad she chose the same design, as I found it really hard to send this one off : ) LOL...

"All Dressed Up" and "Black Cat"- Blackbird Designs - Trix or Treat book
Stitched over one on 32# Dirty linen in WDW threads

This is the first time I've stitched over one on 32 count and at first my eyes were not happy, but my shortsightedness kicked in and it was all good until... I tried to stitch together the over one backstitch and some ummm... creative licence was necessary LOL...

The 50c piece in the second photo (which was super shiny IRL, not looking like I just found it in the gutter...) is to show the finished size (I know this will probably mean nothing to non-Aussies and promise to use a ruler or something sensible next time - doh!).

Halloween Ornie Received!

Yesterday I received my ASOE - Halloween ornament from Terry. It's absolutely beautiful! I love this design and was planning to stitch it for myself, but now I won't have too - pretty lucky huh! : )

The design is "All Dressed Up" by Blackbird Designs in the Trix or Treat book. I'm lucky enough to have this book and most of the designs in there are on my "to stitch" list so now I can cross one off : ) Thank you Terry!
