Howdy, y'all~ A timely and actually stitched Smalls piece from me this month! Whatever is the world coming to? Better weather, that's for sure. Right now it's a beautiful 54°F (12°C) and some fog rolling in the valleys and on the rivers. It finally feels like fall!
I've ended the giveaway a little bit early due to picking such a popular design that several people have already haha~ So, Leonore, you are the winner and I already have your address. It has been sent on its merry way across the puddle~ :D
Halloween stitching is quite fun and I decided to stitch another of the little microkits I found on carand88's blog (search by tag: cat) years ago. Today's featurette is the spooky(?) ghost microkit with bonus glow-in-the-dark thread. A year is apparently long enough to forget how "fuzzy" glow-in-the-dark floss is! Such a weird one to work with. Ghostie joins Witchy Kitty and Mr and Mrs Frankenstein in the completion pile, woo!
Technical Details
So what's up with that bit of floss still attached if it's finished? Well, I'm not sure if I like the "boo" placement/existence. It felt like there was a large amount of empty space in the upper right. Maybe I need to shift it up a little more? I don't want it extending out past the stitching though. Any opinions on the matter?
This was also the first experience I can recall where I've broken a (brand new!) needle while stitching (#22... I think). Perhaps the perforated plastic was just too thick for it and I switched to a fatter #18.
Kind of sparse post! There's still time before Halloween to stitch another of these little guys but I dunno if I will or not. I'm feeling kind of whimsical about stitching since it got cooler. I keep having the urge to bury myself in yarn! This is becoming a regular autumn feeling.....

They are cute stitches Rosey. Sorry about your needle...glad you had one in your stash to finish it up. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
ReplyDeleteCute spooky finish! You must stitch in the dark with that thread, then you won't feel it as a weird one to work with :D
ReplyDeleteI like that cute ghost and would leave the "boo"! The trio of three spooky finishes is darling and I look forward to your future Halloween stitching. Happy October, Rosey!
ReplyDeleteAll adorable kitties, they look great together! The BOO looks good to me. I just wish the glow in dark floss would glow a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteI do admire stitchers who work on black fabric, if always looks so effective. Your are sweet.
ReplyDeleteCute projects. They all look great.
ReplyDeleteGreat kitties, I´ve never worked on black, don´t think I could.
ReplyDeleteLove these! I have stitched all three plus some others. I also made a Mummified cat by adapting one of them. If you click on the Carand88 label on my blogs you'll see them all.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just saw this! Yay, what a nice surprise, thank you ^_^
ReplyDeleteVery cute ghost cat! I'll have to go and look at those patterns for...research purposes.
