Ooooooohhhh,,,,,oooooohhhhh

Does that seem spooky? Hope so...I have been working on my Just Nan Scream House. I finished up all the missing portions and beads (which look like little tiny pumpkins) on the first panel of the haunted house etui. JN Scream House (2)a

I also finished the second panel with the mummy. The lines to show his "wrappings" do not show very well, both in the picture or IRL. I may have to change that to a little darker thread, since otherwise I think he looks just like another ghost.JN Scream House (2)

I also made a small start on the bottom panel last night, although there is not a lot to show other than black lines.

Thanks to everyone for coming by! I really enjoy reading all your comments. They truly brighten my day!

VIXEN

VIXEN(a)

These reindeer by Nora Corbett are just too pretty and bright when finished. Vixen is finished for now (no border). One more of the original eight reindeer to go!

Vixen

Vixen has such pretty antlers!
I am going to work on the greens/wreath around Vixen's neck tonight. After that, the snow around the feet and the rest of the beads. Vixen (WIP) (b)

Forward and back

Well, I made some progress on Athena. I stitched some of the gold colors on my first column. But, I also had to take out some of the foliage I had already stitched to the far right of that column. Hence, a little bit forward and a little back.

Vixen

I know...I know...another start. But I am trying to get all eight reindeer finished, and, they are pretty quick to stitch. Anyway...all uh, hmm...all "justifications" aside....here's my start on Vixen.

Vixen (WIP)

A bow and a wreath are all the adornments for this one. Usually once that portion is done, the reindeer itself is pretty quick. So - onto the wreath around Vixen's neck!

A switch (again)

ToTF(i)

From Harem to Trick or Treat Fairy. I finished her pumpkins last night. There is a half of a spider web that still needs to be completed as well as one more web. Then I think I will tackle her moon. Once the moon is finished, the beading as well as filling in the rest of her skirt.
