The main project has been Dragon of the Winter Moon by Dragon Dreams. I have now finished his tail fin which is all Midnight Kreinik and started some of his back spines, in the same Kreinik. I intend to backstitch as I go so I have done most of his tail.

The evening project is progressing nicely too, just 20-30 minutes each evening while the Small Boy is in the bath:

The one day SAL is called Now I Know my ABCs and is hosted by Cross Stitch Finish Line on Facebook. We are up to F so far and I stitched that letter today:

This is an adaptation of Enchanted Alphabet by Lavender & Lace. I am turning it into a Hallowe'en stitch by using DMC 310 on a lovely orangey fabric. I have added a few little touches so far, such as the spider and a pumpkin. There will be lots more but I want to get a feel of the spacing before I add too many extras.
I framed Ghastly, Ghostly Ghouls by Just Nan. This is a raw wood box frame which I coloured with black marker pen.

Wonderful progress on all of your projects Jo. I haven't been working on Sleeping Beauty. I have been crocheting in the afternoon and trying to catch up to Kate with starts in the evening.

Your evening project is looking really spectacular.
Now THAT'S a dragon's tail! I like the way the foxes are coming along and a definite spooky look to the alphabet. Such a change with your fabric and floss.
I bow to you for stitching all that Kreinik. I stitched Enchanted Alphabet in its original form for my niece, but loving what you're doing with it.
Great progress. I do like the changes you made on Enchanted Alphabet, does look Halloweeny:) I wonder how many letters are in your Christmas blog hop this year, I'm already excited!
I love the Halloween alphabet fabric and the design.
Beautiful--my doctor tells me stitching will not cause blindness but sometimes I wonder
I love your dragon, he's fabulous and that fabric is gorgeous. The Halloween alphabet is a great idea. I think the letters are suitably spooky! Looking forward to seeing your little added touches.
I'll have one of your empty spots on the blog hop if they're still free! Don't know how I missed it.
That's a lot of progress on the Winter Moon Dragon and the sparkly Kreinik looks so good on him.
Great WIPs that you have on the go and they are growing beautifully. As I already said the last time I love the Fox Forest very much and meanwhile I pulled mine out, too. As well as the rest of the series. They will be for next year's stitching :)
Wonderful projects. The dragon looks really beautiful!
Good progress on your stitching...looking forward to getting my "door" number for the blog hop.
Fab progress - loving the dragon :o) Can't wait to see what other extras you add to the alphabet as you go
Hugs xx
A black Marker pen. That looks amazing. I would have never thought that would work. Great progress on the dragon.
Good progress on your projects ! The framed piece is looking great too. That's interesting to color with a marker pen, was that a permanent marker ?
So many gorgeous projects! Love the dragon :)
Beautiful progress! Love the frame....perfect!
Great idea to use a marker pen on the frame...now why didn't I think of that!
Send me a date for the blog hop, i'm sure I can fit it in...
Everything is looking wonderful so far, but you know I love the dragon the best!
Your ghouls look great framed, how much black did you get on your hands?!
I am thrilled to see that you are enjoying the dragon. Great progress.
Nice progress as usual! How about *one* more finish off of your list before the year is over? :D
Love your Ghouly Ghastly Ghostly framejob! Interesting use of a black marker. Draggie is coming along nicely too. Fabulous F on that fantastic fabric. :D

Great progress on all your projects! :D
I am loving your Enchanted Alphabet but I have to ask, what changes are you planning for the sweet little girl to make her Halloweeny? Something really clever, I bet.
Gorgeous framing! I can't imagine doing all of that marker coloring!
