My last finish of 2021 was stitched in 10 days on 14ct Smokey White to give it that dirty snow storm look. The most notable change I made was to use Whisper W99 for that dashing black fur look!

Introducing the Anti-Claus!
My last finish of 2021 was stitched in 10 days on 14ct Smokey White to give it that dirty snow storm look. The most notable change I made was to use Whisper W99 for that dashing black fur look!
Krampus is Coming to Town
Season's beatings from Krampus!
Stitched separately from the main pattern this banner will feature my Krampus Korner in 2022! This little gingerdead man flew in all the way from the Ukraine just for the occasion!

Creepmas
Not quite willing to let go of Halloween I embraced Creepmas this year and stitched this little guy in 5 days!
It actually took longer than I anticipated, usually only working on the 14ct Aida during daylight hours.
I substituted the following colors and could not be happier with all that glitters! Gentle Arts Barn Grey, DMC C816 and Petite Treasure Braid PB 10 (this gave a subtle green iridescence to the vines that I am living for!). The Maiden

Guardian of the Lake
This Gorgon has me in her tentacles and will not let go!
I have discovered a new designer, Salcutan Ludmila of PuntADOpetitePattern on Etsy, you will see many more chimera like women in my future!

She Waits
Stitched on 28ct Echo I have joined the Mother on Mirabilia's Andromeda (although I will not be attempting to complete the skin over 1!). Catch me if you can! The Maiden
Blooded Fangs
My blood orchid bloomed long past all Hallows Eve and was not the only one reluctant to relinquish the season!
Stitched with DMC 115 and C814 to give the fangs a freshly blooded look in 5 days.

Golden Deco
This shadow box frame was the perfect compliment for these dark florals from Tusk and Cardinal's book Creepy Cross Stitch!
The book has inspired my best finishes to date!

If you Seek Advice...
Baba Yaga is ready to receive visitors, but be warned she may want more than a snack!
Stitched on 14ct smokey white Aida with a full color conversion utilizing my stash.
Her hut was finished by winding ribbon around twine to mimic the smoke from the cauldrons and topped off with a skeleton head presumably from one of her victims.
