Happy Halloween in a Tray!

Good morning! 

Only a couple days left until Halloween!

 I finished this Silver Creek Samplers Happy Halloween this past week.. This was one of my Stitchmaynia starts this year ..It is in the 2013 Special Halloween issue from Just Cross Stitch Magazine or you can buy the chart..

I changed all the floss except for the Ohio Lemon Pie and all the colors I used are above..

This is the wall in my kitchen filled with some Halloween and Autumn stitched goodies! On top is Lizzie Kate Halloween ABC's ..hanging are the Judith Kirby Halloween Victorians, on the right is the Chalk for the Home Sunflower Manor ( my chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands On Design..

I mounted the stitching on sticky board and then did another piece of sticky board for the back of black check homespun.. I added it with magnets and sheet metal to this tray from The Good will .. I made a bow from Halloween buffalo check fabric and the black check homespun.. the little ghost is a tulip wood shape turned upside down and painted white with a ghost shape..I also added some black glitter berries from the Dollar Tree to the bow.. you can click the colored text to read more about those things ..

Some Witchy Stitching...

Good morning friends!
Isn't this just the cutest Halloween piece!?!

Last year I had finally finished the 2 Halloween houses from Judith Kirby and found this hanging decoration at Hobby Lobby to hang it on...With that in mind .. my daughter stitched this With Thy Needle and Thread ..Bobbing for Pumpkins .. We found this sign at Michaels.. Her husband cut a board and drilled holes to attach the wires that were used to hang it from the sign.. I mounted the stitching on sticky board .. and then mounted black check homespun on sticky board.. glued them together and then glued the board to the back of the sticky board covered with homespun..

It is stitched on our regular tea/coffee dyed 28 count evenweave ..with all the called for "fancy flosses"
It is fabulous and I am sure she can't wait for Halloween decorating to hang it up!

Trick Or Treat Stitchy Finish!

 Good morning!

The 2 Judith Kirby Halloween Houses are all stitched and displayed! I started them a year ago last August :)

 I had a hard time trying to find a way to display these that I really liked .. I bought things and took them back .. made something that didn't work .. but yesterday I was at Hobby Lobby and saw this Jack o Lantern  trick or treat sign .. 7.99 plus 40% off.. :)

( It looks kind of crooked in the hanging photos but it is straight.. Just hard to get good pics!)

So .. my husband cut a board for underneath the stitched piece and mat piece of black homespun check on the bias ..of course! Then drilled 2 holes in the board and 2 holes in the trick or treat sign ..added wires to connect .. then glued the homespun piece to the board..

 Isn't it c-u-t-e!

 I stitched it on tea / coffee dyed light blue evenweave..

 For now it is hanging from the shelf in the kitchen .. not sure where it will end up but I couldn't wait to show you!
