I can't believe that I pulled off another finish in one month :o) Woohoo! I was doing a little happy dance last night when I finished-finished my finish. I really love this one and I knew I was going to stitch it when I found the material for the backing. The two were just perfect for each other.
Here is Night Owl by The Prairie Schooler -
Don't those eyes just give you the creeps? LOL! I used the recommended fabric and threads except that I switched 3371 for 310 so it would match the fabric. The material I used for the back is the one in the pictures. Isn't it cool?
I made this little guy into a pinkeep -
Do you know how hard it is to find black headed pins???? Luckily I didn't need too many. And I'm so pleased with my bow as well :o)
This is the section of fabric I used for the back of the pinkeep -
I love, love, love it! I'm really in a Halloween mood. I just wish I had more October so I could stitch a few more Halloween projects. I will now be returning to Tot but there is no way she'll be done by the end of the month :o(
Things have been absolutely hectic here and I'm SO behind in emails and reading Blogs so please don't think that I've disappeared. I will, eventually, get caught up with everyone :o) Tomorrow DH and I are meeting with the realtor so the house is going to officially go on the market! We're done all our renovations so I'll have to post some new pictures for you. I'm really happy with the way things have turned out but I'm glad we will be moving.
Please don't forget to sign up for the breast cancer wall hanging RR. The post is below. You can add more than one name and I will ship overseas :o) I really want to thank those that have signed up already and I will be in touch after Pumpkin Day with all the details.
Btw, before I go, here's a little enabling -
Isn't it cute! It's a new thread pack by Crescent Colours especially for Breast Cancer Awareness Month :o)

ReplyDeleteYour Night Owl pinkeep turned out really nice. You are right, the material for the back was perfect.
Glad to hear that the house is ready for the realtor. Hate to see you move away but realize that you will be starting a new phase of your life. Also, we are happy to your hubby with a new career.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT ! I have had this one stitched, except the eyes, for awhile now. It doesn't look as nice as yours, mine is on a darker fabric.
