FNwF


Hi lovely bloggers, 

I so enjoyed stitching with you all last night for FNwF.  I worked on my Halloween ornie for the Halloween SAL which I am participating in, run by the lovely Elaine.


I chose this cute design from Glory Bee featuring a pumpkin from the 2012 JCS Halloween mag.  



... and here is my progress so far:



I am using my own fabric - 32 ct overdyed Cocoa linen and I am substituting the Gentle Arts Sampler Threads with mainly Weeks Dye Works as they are the colours which I have!  I am pleased with my progress so far - this is what I managed to stitch in just one day and that was with an awful lot going on in the home yesterday (tradesmen on my doorstep at 7 am to install a new air conditioner - thank goodness as it was 41 (106 F) degrees yesterday! then the new dishwasher had to be installed and on it went!)

Can't wait to see everyone else's progress!
hugs,
