Finally Fully Finished Fun for October

      

Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher


This SAL is designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finished pieces instead of just storing them under the bed.  We will all be linking up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month).

Unfortunately I don't have anything to show this month but as Rachel has made the effort to make a post this month, so have I!  I'll just link back to my September FFO instead.

I have been stitching for Dark October and have made good progress on the final shop for my CCN Main Street Spooky Conversion.

This one was the Art Gallery and will now be...  any guesses?  It is Art-related, something beautiful that a witch or fortune teller may own.

Once I have stitched this shop I will move to the centre of the bottom row and add the adaptation of the Gazebo.  This will be a blackwork Gate, maybe a Lych Gate, of some sort.

My evening project has been the Halloween Sewing Basket by Mani di Donna.  This has been my Dark 13th project all year so I thought it would be nice to get it completed and made up this month.

I've got the yellow and white to add then then a little bit of black and then I can start the task of sewing it all together.

Finally, it's Dark October so time to think about my annual Trick or Treat Blog Hop! I am sure you all know how it works but for those who need a reminder - here's a link to last year's:

    I'm guessing the last store will be a cauldron! Wow, I can't wait to see what kind of Gate you'll stitch. That'll be a nice spooky touch! I emailed you back about the blog hop, I'm joining again. You may as well consider me joined for all the blog hops you host, lol!

    Oh, I didn't realize how close to a finish your spooky town was getting! Will it be a tarot shop?
