Halloween is coming...

I don’t care what other people say, before Christmas there is Halloween and believe it or not Thanksgiving.  For years, according to some stores (Wally World, Targe’, etc.) Christmas season started right after Halloween now it’s been moved up another month.  Usually there would be big Halloween displays, candy, ghost & goblin costumes for sale up until the big day and then Halloween candy discounts lasted at least until Thanksgiving and then in came everything Christmas. Not anymore Wal-Mart now has the Halloween display in one room and the Christmas display in another. AT THE SAME TIME! This is ridiculous! I love Halloween.   Just to show how much, here are a few Halloween goodies I made.

This little witch is “Salem” from Just Cross Stitch 2012 Special Collector’s Halloween Issue, I stitched mine on 28 ct Crystal Brash instead of the perforated paper and finished it into a small pillow.

This little cutie was snatched from “Fraidy Cats Welcome” from the same magazine issue.

I liked the 28 ct Crystal Brash so much I used it again this time finishing the “Fraidy Cat” as a hanging ornament.    

This beauty is “If the Shoe Fits!” from 2011 Just Cross Stitch Annual Halloween  issue, it’s stitched on 25 ct black Lugana. I used Kreinik metallic and DMC on the shoe and Thread Worx (Kreinik braid overdyed) for the buckle.  It will be finished into an ornament as soon as I can get the spider button to hang from the toe of the shoe.   I told you I love Halloween.

Thank you all for stopping by, I’m off to make more little xxs.
