An Encore Appearance

Plum Street Samplers
"Take One My Pretty"
40 CT Lakeside Linen
DMC Floss

I think it is time for "Take One My Pretty" to make her second appearance. She made her debut last Halloween and made quite a hit.

When I saw this Tin Topper I just knew I had to stitch one. It is by Plum Street Samplers. It is my first Tin Topper and my first time stitching on 40 ct. I really like it, I have fallen in love.

I did a real simple finish.I used a green Altoid tin so I there was no painting involved. I glued ribbon around the tin and used sticky black felt for the bottom. Oh yes, there are a lot of firsts on this. I actually made the twisted cord though I think it would have been better to use more than two strands of floss.

Another Boo

HE BOO
32 Ct. Hand Dyed Fabric
DMC & Crescent Colors
10/04/2010

I saw this cute design  and just knew I had to stitch one up for my collection. I found a scrap of 32 count fabric in my stash. After I stitched everything but the pumpkin, I was thinking it needed a little color so I stitched him with a Crescent Colors orange and added a green stem.

The fabric is more of a tan or beige color than in the picture. I found some spider web fabric with little pumpkins to finish it up. I added some orange ribbon and sewed on a black button to dress it up. The backing fabric is orange. I sewed another black button on the back to attach the ribbon hanger.

I had an exchange to get in the mail today, so I didn't get much stitching done. I made a stop at Hobby Lobby and picked up some buttons and ribbons. Then home to cook an early supper so Bob could go to work and now I have to clean up the kitchen and then I will be free to stitch on Red House. WooHoo!

I Am Finally Back Online

I have had a miserable two weeks. Haven't been able to get on line properly. Hopefully all will be working better now as we went back to our old service. We live in such a rinky dinky area we don't have much choice.

I have been wanting to start my blogoversary giveaway but haven't been able to post anything. They had it so slowed down that it took ten minutes for a page to load.

I have to work tonight, actually have to be there in an hour so maybe tomorrow I will have everything up and running.
I have been stitching some Halloween ornies and stitched some on Pumpkins For Sale by LHN.
