Ok, so I haven't reached the witch yet. But I picked op the missing floss, finished off the moon (which I love, it's so awesome!), and am almost done the tree.
I never actually noticed that there were two crows in the tree! That was a pleasant surprise. (Yes, I've only actually stitched one crow, or maybe it's a raven?)
I think I'm going to seriously push to finish this by Saturday. Of course it won't be framed for ages, but it'll be done by Halloween!
I've been on a slightly insane rampage of reading and following new-to-me blogs. In the nature of things, this means I have about a dozen new patterns I MUST stitch. Topping the list for next Halloween (yes Mum, I can plan long-term!) are "Something Wicked" by La-D-Da and "Sleepy Hollow" by Glendon Place.
Actually I haven't seen a finish of Sleepy Hollow yet, but it looks so cool. Now I feel like reading "Legend of Sleepy Hollow"...
I'm off to Fabricland tomorrow to see if I can find some decent handles for my patchwork bag (Michaels has nothing) and then I shall share my magnificent marvel. I hope.
A Question:
I picked up a couple of those DMC floss rings because they were dirt cheap. And I want to make a few floss tags. The internet is filled with awesome tutorials, so I'm set for the "How-to" bit.
BUT, none of them tell me what size the eyelet should be. I was overwhelmed by choice: 1/8", 3/16", 1/4" etc. What size is big enough that the ring slides easily, but not so big that it...well, looks too big?

Love the witchy piece.
1/8" is too small. 3/16" is about right and there are a lot of 3/16" eyelets. I really like my 5/16" the best. I haven't seen 1/4", but those would be perfect.
I love the PS piece you are working on. I'm not really a Halloween fan but something about this one really appeals to me. Yours is looking great. I hope you are able to get it done by Saturday.
Thank you for your comment on my blog.
This is a awesome PS design and it's loooking really good.
I am not sure the size as I don't have the box. I buy the rings then match the size eyelets for them.
You have many wonderful WIP's going on.
The Dragons look fabulous.
Thanks Ranae,
The dragons are on semipermanent hiatus because I don't have the Kreiniks and don't feel like buying them for a few stitches and haven't figured out any alternatives yet...
