Hallowe'en Mystery Phrase Blog Hop



Welcome to the spooky hallowe’en mystery phrase blog hop!

All you need to do is visit each of the following blogs in order, jot down the letter displayed with their Hallowe'en stitched picture then return here and leave a comment telling me the Mystery Phrase.

It'd be nice if you left a comment on their blog too, especially if it's new to you.

I've enabled "moderate comments before publishing" for the next week so no-one can copy anyone else!

There will be a small prize for one person picked at random from the guessers.  People who posted a picture  will get one chance for that and another chance if they make a guess too.

So without further ado, 
start  the blog hop – enter if you dare…

Fittingly the first blog is The Alychmyst's Study

Then onto This and That

and finally (just so it isn't thirteen) back to me:

Cute?





This is an old piece, stitched sometime in the 1990s.
The ABC and border came from a book by Better Homes and Gardens called "Cross Stitcher's Big Book of Alphabets and Borders".  And yes, it does exactly what it says on the tin!!  I have used this book alot.
I centralised the alphabet and changed the shape behind the L to another skull rather than a beige paper bag with a white thing sticking out the top.  The finished framed piece now lives in the Large Boy's room.

Finally, don't forget, some of us are on different time zones so if you visit a blog and can't find a letter or picture yet, pop back later in the day.  The competition is open for one week closing 00.01 hours 7th November GMT. - Competition now closed!


happy hunting!

    Hello! The phrase you are wanting to hear (or read) is "Witch's Cauldron"! :o)

    By the way, the link to Blue Star Stitcher is an email link, not a website link... ;o)

    Best wi(tch/sh)es and Happy Halloween

    Hi hon. What fun that was. I found some new blogs.
    BTW the link for Blue Star Stitcher sends you to her mail not her blog and she doesn't have a letter posted.

    Answer - witch's cauldron.

    Many hugs

    Hi Jo, such a lot of fun - you are so clever the way you organise the blog hops - very creative. I hope you don't mind I substituted a fabulous skull cake made by a friend of mine for another friend's birthday - it really seemed perfect for this. Happy Halloween!

    Witchs cauldron
    At least I'm pretty sure that is what it is. When I click on Blue Star Sticher, it is a link to email that blogger. So I guessed on that letter.
    Thank you for doing this, much fun!
    I also found more bloggers to follow!

    I finally got the phrase, I think... it looks like it is WITCH'S CAULDRO which translates to witch's cauldron. Were we short of participants?

    Happy Halloween dear Jo! Thank you for hosting the blog hop.

    OK first of all i have loved reading all the blogs that I wouldnt have found normally i have commented and followed them all, so thanks for doing this, I hope you do another soon!

    second I love how our finished cross stitch is around for years, i lost so many stitched pieces on the fire that it was really more upsetting losing them as they were all stitched for a reason along withe photos of the kids when they were young and me when i was a child, as my parents dont have any of me as i had them all, ( sorry i am turning depressed again lol)

    and thirdly the mystery phrase is witch's cauldron.

    i couldn't do it this time due to having major problems with the eldest and being away form the land of internet but next time you do a hop along i am in!
