Snowman, chickens, Halloween and a giveaway!

This is what I've been up to of late.

A challenge with my Mixed Media Studio Group,

Frosty on skis!

Gift of the Week, also with my group!

These chickens can be pin cushions and/or Christmas decorations.

I added miniscule pom poms and felt leaves for holly and ivy.

A reminder this is day 17 of

Finally. a salute to Halloween (yes I know it's all said and done for 2014) however,

I wanted to share my first, and by no means last, pin keep on a bedspring with you. I had a blast making this from the construction of the top hat to the bat pins. My guys think it's pretty awesome too!

Don't miss out on BLOGATHON CANADA BY SEW SISTERS there are many giveaways!

This week's peek as to what's going on in my embroidery hoop is a snippet

of an original, freehand piece from my own mind's eye.

 I hope to be finished with all the i's dotted and t's crossed this evening.

Cross stitch has given me another outlet to create beyond borders what I want to see on the aida cloth. I'm having quite a lot of fun with it.

What's in your embroidery hoop?

HAPPY STITCHING  :)
