Sooo, I'm kind of late getting these pictures up. Real late actually. This first piece I finished last year. The chart had a stitched scallop border but after stitching that black boot I didn't think I could stand doing the border too. It's on a yellow linen and used most of the charted threads except for the black eyed susans. They are in a more yellow color than the darker gold that was called for. I used some beads mixed in on the bittersweet vine instead of cross stitches or french knots.
I got the chart for this one a month or so ago from my secret stitcher. Can't believe it's stitched up and framed already. It was fun. It's on a piece of Autumn Fields linen with the DMC threads called for, except for one or two.
I also stitched this last year. I changed the letters to a different color thread so it would show up better on this linen.
Now this was stitched years and years ago. It's a Prairie Schooler Year from long ago. I had stitched all of them and due to some personal issues decided I couldn't have them in my house. Yeah, I can be weird too. Anyway, Creative Cottage a LNS displayed them for quite a few years. When they went out of business, my weird streak was over, they gave them back to me and I was SO happy.
I have hung this up for years and years. My kids were still young when I stitched this. I framed it myself with foam board and masking tape - gasp! Yes, masking tape and foam board, can you imagine?!?
Down Sunshine Lane ~ Your online source for all of your stitching needs! had a Halloween sale last week and I did a little shopping. I liked this the moment I saw it. Cute and kinda funny and funky. I pass Green Acres farm every chance I can get and this time of year the turkeys are out in the fields getting fattened up for their special day. Kinda sad but it's cool to see turkeys raised in normalcy not jammed in some disgusting barn with no room to move.
A cover for my 6" q snaps to protect the extra linen. A pair of counting needles, jazzed up with a cool bead. Very handy for all those motifs that are spread out and require painful counting between them.
A gorgeous ripping needle. Hoping I don't need to use this much and can just gaze at its prettiness in my tool box.
A new needle minder made from a button. Love those bees and all things bee related.
A great package deal of vintage trims. LOVE IT! Chenille trim in two thicknesses, buttons, bunches of ric rac and bias tape in rich dreamy colors. This picture does not do the colors or awesomeness of this package justice. EDITED TO SAY: The trim pack is on the accessory page of Down Sunsine Lane. The 'Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe' is the package paper header. It includes: Assorted 1/2" ric rac, 15 colors, 1 yard each color, Chenille trim, 10 colors, 2 yards each color, Cotton twill tape, 4 colors, 1 yard each color, Hand dyed buttons, 5 colors, 4 buttons each color
Hope you liked my late Halloween. On to Thanksgiving!

Wonderful Fall/Halloween pieces Marsha...congrats on all your lovely finishes!
My goodness - those last couple of pics make me green with envy! LOL Did you get all those goodies in one pack from Down Sunshine Lane? Have to go check'em out right away now!
Love your Halloween display - and let em tell you, you did so much better than I did. I managed to get a big goose-egg up instead... :-(
I love all your Halloween things! Someday I hope to have enough to display too.
Love all the new stash! Cool stuff!
What great Halloween decorations! I pulled mine out ... on Halloween ... (Yes, since my kids are past the TorTreat stage, things have gone steadily down hill in terms of decorating for the season!) and realized just how little I had that wasn't left over from when the kids were very small. I am determined to change that this year with my stitching. Now if I can just remember that in, say, February! LOL
Love the new stash!
Great display of your Halloween pieces. They are gorgeous.
Enjoy your new stash haul.
