This is the time of year when I'd usually do my Trick or Treat Blog Hop but due to circumstances beyond my control, I just haven't had time to organise it this year.
Instead, we will have a Spooky Link-up party all week! Just make a post on anything spooky; stitching, decorating, crafting etc and link up below. Make sure you come back and visit some of the other bloggers too. We've all noticed visits and comments dropping this year so it would be nice to show some spooky love to our fellow bloggers.

Here's what I have to share with you all. This year I have been stitching for Dark 13 each month. I chose the Halloween Sampler from Cottage Garden Samplings and stitched on word per month
At the start of the month I had completed up to I:
And now we have a finish!
Here's the whole piece:
stitched on 40 count Witch's Brew linen from Zweigart
I just need to find a square black frame that is big enough for this design.
I did manage to FFO the three Halloween Trifles from Shepherd's Bush, using a wooden pumpkin board from The Works. I mixed up some orange acrylic paint with a splash of black and diluted it with water to make a paint wash which turned out really well. Then I mounted each of the three pieces to card and stuck them to the board with double sided tape.
I didn't have the right charms so I just chose some from my stash
I realised I had used all my spider charms so used this bigger web instead:
Very pleased with the final result:
Here are some more photos of my Spooky Stitching on display this year:
Finally, enjoy the Spooky Link-ups!
