Ghostly homeowners

Another Creepy Cross Stitch bites the dust! 


Say hello to the former homeowners, the maiden. 

 

Revisiting the Hallows

Spent a few days starting this project in October and cannot wait to return to it when the spooky stitching bug bites again!

Boo!

I have 4 finish goals for 2024 and this Autumn Lane is one of them!


I will only be stitching the top half (I may come back to the bottom half at a later date, but want to stitch it on another piece of fabric, possibly a nice murky and frame separately).

I really cannot get enough of that etoile ghost!

Underground Party

My stitching group went through a Mama Witch Cross Stitch phase this fall and here is the result! 



This pattern is a tough read for me, and you can see below I am playing (or frustratingly frogging) with some of the called for DMCs.

 Baby It's Cold Outside! 


The moment cancel culture wrapped it's death grip around this classic I knew I had to stitch this pattern by Hearstring Samplery! Stitched on 28ct coffee tea dyed Monaco by myself, The Maiden

Sugar (Cookies) for Everyone!

 Well this was a surprise...



Sugar Cookies by the Cricket Collection stitched on 36ct Crystal white fabric (which is hateful)

Every year I would stitch a letter, but this year I powered through and finished "kies"!

Happy New Year!

 I wanted something Incredible for 2024, so as the ball dropped at midnight I began my first Letistitch! 


The kit is incredible, quality and ease combined into one! 


Um, retract your claws stitchy assistant!

The Decay

 I wish I could say there was a reason for my absence, there is not. I cannot believe I have not posted in 2 years, as I would often browse through the posts hoping for inspiration on what to stitch...



Scary Mermaid, which my SAL partner Mo and I affectionately call Dead Mermaid, by Ksenia Novikova on Etsy.  


So I decided to add posts, here and there, in mass or as I go and watch as this blog becomes an inspiring force once again!
