I See (Ginger) Dead People

The last of my Creepmas stitch a thon from 2021 was this little guy, a GingerDead  Man stitched into creation in less than 24 hours! 


I changed every color, after stitching the head and realizing the colors were not what I was after...


I also added white beads, which gave an amazing "frosted" look!


That awkward moment when you realize you have given your Gingey a bulge!

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.
