Hey Blog Buddies,
The full moon is here once again, and I'm happy to report I did much better on my WIPocalypse list than I did last month--which was no progress on anything, so the bar was really low to begin with!
I finished Blackbird Design's Night Song Hallowe'en ornament. The photo is here. Also completed is part four of Laura J. Perin's Christmas Ornaments, Series 1, as reported earlier this month. The photo is here. And since I was in a Hallowe'en mood after putting up my small black tree, I decided to tackle Blackbird Design's Haunted House because I still have a lot of empty branches!
Hopefully, the ornie will be finished-finished
by Hallowe'en!
I'm currently working on a little craft project
but can't show it to you now, because it's going to be a gift!
Click here to see everyone's October WIPocalypse progress.
I hope everyone on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA
stays safe from hurricane Sandy.
Until next time, thanks for visiting!

My linen was not as dark as the model's
(it may not look that way from the photos,
but, trust me, it is!)
so I used darker-hued floss instead.

In order to make the house look a little more haunted,
I "turned off the lights," opened the front door a little way,

made the chimney crooked,
and added a couple of bats flying over the roof.
Since I used DMC 3371 for the stepping stones,
they look more like spiders to me.
That was unintentional, but I like it!

I like the changes you've made - those little extra touches (like the windows and the door) just make it a bit spookier. What a great Halloween stitch :)
