A finish and Just Nan WIP

This latest finish is a design by Pickle Barrel.  It is stitches on 28ct antique white even weave using WDW threads.  It took some time stitching this one up even though it is a small piece (5x7).  It is called Cape Cod Summer.  It reminds me of the Victorian houses that you would see on Martha's Vineyard.  This is a shop model for ABC Stitch.

Here is a pic of my progress on Just Nan's Halloween Party.  I am stitching it on PTP Cauldron and I LOVE this fabric.  I am going to pic some more of it up at my LNS to stitch other Halloween designs.  I love this design.  There are so many cute elements, little spiders hanging, ghosties swinging from letters, bats, jack-o-lanterns and more.  I will most likely finish it into a door hanger.  I hope I can get it done in time for Halloween.  Right now the retreat behind the scenes is keeping me quite busy.  I hope everyone has a great weekend and as always  Happy Stitching!

Visit to my LNS

The boys started school on Thursday despite the fact that alot of people in town are still without power.  The schools have power so they started a day later than expected.  Everyone seems happy with their teachers so far so I am keeping my fingers crossed.  Since they had school I decided to pay a visit to my LNS which is not so local.  It's about 50minutes away and the traffic is always ridiculous.  I picked up a few Halloween goodies and some fabric and threads.  Here is the project I can't wait to start. (As a matter of fact, I had to put a few stitches in right when I got home)  It is Halloween Party by Just Nan.  I am stitching it on 28ct Cauldron by Picture this Plus with the recommended threads.  I will post progress when it actually starts to look like something.  I bought some other goodies but I won't post a pic, I don't want you to see how out of control my habit is.  Just Kidding!  I didn't think to take a pic.

Hope you have a lovely Stitching Weekend.
