Halloween Spirited Goodies...

New patterns coming soon

for your stitching pleasure...

 An 18" Halloween spirited cherub who flies over pumpkin patches

and sprinkles her fairy dust upon the pumpkins so they grow extra big.

Antique sheet music is used for Madam Halloween's wings and star garland

and a real pumpkin stems tops of her head.  Body is painted, sanded and then distressed

with stain and ground cinnamon for a wonderful old-time look

and delicious smell!

A NEW cross stitch chart for a charming 6" ditty pocket.  A primsical witch is not seeing stars, she's seeing pumpkins...lots of pumpkins!  Which pumpkin would a witch pick????  A short and squatty one, a tall and skinny one, or one that has a wonderfully curled stem?  Pocket has an antique skeleton key stitched to the side...the key that opens the gate to the pumpkin patch!   The bag is filled with tallow berries for a warm autumn touch.    Design is worked on 35 count linen over two threads.

And lastly,

a NEW cross stitch chart for a pin keep...

a pumpkin-shaped pin keep!

This is a quick stitch Halloween-spirited sampler

that is sewn into a tall skinny pumpkin shape,

and then topped off with a real pumpkin stem.

Place on an ironstone plate and surround it with acorns

and you have a wonderful little Halloween vignette

to sit by your stitching chair!

Design is worked on 40 count over 2 threads.

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my shipment

of dried naturals,

perfect for autumn-time decorating...

tallow berries,

acorns,

cotton bolls

and cotton stems

all will be arriving early next week!

More black oxide scissors are due to arrive early next week too.

I'll be busy updating the website with all these new goodies

over the weekend and into early next week.

TGIF,

Brenda
