Until Next Time...

 Since I will be at home for the month of August and I'll have access to ALL my sewing and cross stitch supplies, I thought I would make a goal for the month and share it here. In my cross stitch, I have the final installment of Cross Stitch Camp to do.  I'm using the Gather Pumpkins from the Fall Gather Round by Hands on Design to meet the "try something new" requirement since it has over one stitching in it and I've not done that before.  This is being done with all the called for floss and fabric because it came in a kit LOL I'm stitching along with Nichol Spohr's Flying Lessons Stitch Along and that starts August 16.  She posted a picutre of a conversion done on a fabric similar to what I've got and in purple.  You know I am a cutesy Halloween person so this color way was perfect for me.  I've picked mostly Colour & Cotton threads with a couple Weeks Dye Works for mine.  And aren't those floss drops adorable? I want to finish my June Cr...

A couple weeks ago I mentioned that one of my girl's friends had asked me to do a candy bucket for her daughter for Halloween.  Well, it's finished and ready to go! Kasey said she wanted it girlie, so girlie is what she got! I love the ribbons on the handle! You can't get much girlier than a bow on a ghost 😂  Now, I need to make another one for the newest granddaughter, Emery. Em has decided she wants to be a chicken for Halloween.  Now keep in mind Emery turned 1 in August. I know, you're wondering how she let us know she wants to be a chicken. Well, her mom was holding out a couple costumes for her to look at and she went for the chicken.  Jenna tried really hard to get her to pick the unicorn, but Emery kept going back to the chicken one. So we bought the chicken one.  Until next time!

 Last year I made hand painted Halloween buckets for the grandkids and several other children.  These are a few of them. They turned out great!  So great, in fact, that I had a young lady I know ask me if I could do one for her daughter for this year.  I am so excited!  Now, should I do the witches feet or the ghost?  I am kind of leaning toward the ghost since she said the girlier the better ;)
