Misbehaving

I should be working on Snowfire Christmas, and Woodland Sampler, and Advent Animals (I'm 5 behind!). But what am I doing? Stitching Halloween. Sometimes I just lose all my self-discipline and start a new project even though I've already got several going that need my attention. Around this time every summer I start really wanting to stitch Halloween stuff, so when the urge hit me a couple of days ago, I gave in. This is Simply Boo by Elizabeth's Designs, from the 2015 Just Cross Stitch Special Halloween Issue. I wanted more vivid colors, so I changed them all: Caron Wildflowers Black Forest and Fiesta, GAST Burlap and Fragrant Cloves, and DMC 310. It's stitched on 32 ct. Natural Belfast linen.


 I really should get back to my other projects... but I'll probably stitch some more Halloween. I'm still feeling kinda undisciplined.

    What a cute finish! Did you use the Fiesta thread for the border? Your satin stitched border looks fabulous.

      Robin, yes, the border is stitched with Fiesta. Another stitcher pointed out that the sample thread pictures for Caron Wildflowers Fiesta don't show all the colors you see in my pictures, but I assure you, it's all one skein! :O)

    Ha, ha, I'm the same way! Sometimes you just have to start something new. Congrats on the great finish. Go ahead and be bad - start something else!

    So cute, and I love the border too!
    Sometimes you gotta start something new and then it feels good to get back to the other projects afterwards.

    I think there are quite a few designers who could benefit greatly if they allowed you to do conversions. I love the colors in yours. The border is gorgeous.
