After hearing people talk about Halloween coming soon, I got a sudden urge to do a small bit of Halloween stitching … this little project has been sitting around for far too long in my ‘to be stitched’ pile, especially as the chart was on loan from a dear friend … so it finally got to see the light of day and I stitched it up over the last 2 days. Unfortunately I didn’t have any of the green Fuzzy Stuff thread for the witch’s hair, and I’m too impatient to wait until I order some, so I just decided to use the green DMC that is used for Frankenstein’s face. I also changed the fabric to something that I think suits it quite well 🙂

with recommended DMC threads, but using DMC instead of Fuzzy Stuff for witch’s hair
I managed to do quite a bit of stitching yesterday for the first time in weeks, and hope to have another happy dance in another day or two – a project I started in March this year when I was in NZ … and which was in my planned 2013 project stitching (Little Blue Potting Shed by Brown House Studio).
Lovely stitching – you are Rifestitch (http://rifestitch.jaysez.org/) need to get together – she loves Halloween too!
Cute finish! Glad to see you’re feeling a bit better. 🙂
Adorablez! I like how you changed up the witches’ hair like that, think I prefer it 🙂
And I actually thought the fabric was the recommended one, it works so well!
