Dark 13 Stitching

I meant to make a post for my Friday 13th stitching this month but time got away from me!  So I'll include the latest instalment on my spooky conversion of Lavender & Lace's Enchanted Alphabet too.

For Friday 13th, I picked up Raven one of the Bewitching Pixies by Nora Corbett.

The Pixies are not very big and this wouldn't take very long if I dedicated her as a focus piece, maybe next year.  She is not on my WIPocalypse list for this year but I will pick her up again on the next Friday 13th and for Dark October too.

My current piece for the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL Blog is Jardin Prive's Happy Hallowe'en Night and this month I stitched a spider:

I also added a spider to The Enchanted Alphabet:

For new followers, this is my conversion of the Lavender & Lace design Enchanted Alphabet.  I have loved this design ever since I first saw it but it features the world's Frilliest Child and she just wasn't my style.  So I hit on the idea of stitching it all in black and adding some spooky touches.  So far we have some spiders and a couple of pumpkins as well as a black dove.  There will be little ghosts, bats, cats and other spookiness once I have completed the lettering.  Because I had to move some of the letters I want to wait until the end to see where the spaces are.

    Ah, so it's spider time, or it was - they're great! Had to look up a picture of Raven - it is amazing how Nora Corbett packs so much detail into a relatively small piece.

    Having a Dark themed stitching day on Friday 13th is a marvelous idea - I'd like to join in for the next one, only Felix is turning 30 this day, so I don't know if there will be time (he also turned 13 on Friday 13th!). I love your cute little spiders and the Raven is so awesome on that fabric, she totally has my vote to be a focus piece next year!
