HALLOWEEN BLOG HOP

Welcome to the "Halloween Blog Hop" organized by Jo from Serendipitous Stitching...

C'est avec plaisir que nous retrouvons le Blog Hop d'Halloween qu'organise Jo, j'ai brodé auparavant quelques jolis motifs sur ce thème, mais en début d'année j'ai décidé d'entreprendre un beau et grand projet de chez Cuore & Batticuore "J'aime Halloween sous la pluie".

I already stitched some small Halloween patterns to participate to Jo's event but this year I started a big project on Halloween theme.

It's  "I love Halloween in the Rain"  from Cuore e Batticuore.

I wished it could be finished for today but it's not! The black border, the witch bag, fluorescent thread on the moon/umbrella, spiders/web, words and I have no more orange 741 and still only 37 stitches to do with it (can you believe it).

So here it is :

You know I have spent my holidays in Dieppe in last September for an International Kite Festival, I have met a new friend there, seating on the pier, a kiter (he really hold a small kite), the perfect guy to introduce you the letter you're waiting for.

He had some success, many visitors intrigued by this amazing kiter.

Voici un  nouvel ami rencontré en septembre dernier pendant le festival de cerf-volants, installé sur le muret de la plage de Dieppe, pilotant un vrai cerf-volant, autant vous dire qu'il a eu du succès !

Now it's time to get on your witch broom to join the next blog and collect another letter

- http://needlepensword.blogspot.com

Have a nice flight, collect all the letters and then go back to Jo with the complete mystery phrase.

You'll see there a wonderful Halloween display.

Today, I'm expecting a visit of two nice monsters and their mum. I think I'll have some help to hunt letters and fun hoping blog to blog.

Happy Halloween!

THE PEOPLE CHOOSE 10/18

New SAL on the first Saturday of each month,

Halloween isn't a big part of our traditions here, but I have stitched some charts most often to participate in Jo's Halloween Blog Hop...

It was time to have a real big Halloween piece to work on.


It's called "I love Halloween in the rain"   from Cuore e Batticuore started on the end of January.

Here I am now,

With some new raindrops, a spider in progress and a finished white cloud.


I still have some problems with the grey DMC 648 for the skull on the pumpkin which is not ok on the color of the fabric, too pale. The second issue is a small spot near the right border (I could eventually cover with a raindrop!).




Après quelques petits travaux brodés à l'occasion des Blog Hops d'Halloween organisés par Jo, il était temps de réaliser une belle pièce sur ce thème.












Perfect post to update my "une famille formidable"
from Isabelle Haccourt Vautier chart

as some black cats were waiting for back stitching

I only have to finish the big cat on the right which actually looks like it got an insect on the head!

Derniers points sur la famille formidable, les contours des chats, le matou de droite semble avoir pour le moment un gros insecte sur la tête !


Puisqu'elle me tient compagnie dans mon futur projet, je laisse à Madame MIM le mot de la fin,
vous annoncez le prochain thème : les pierres de naissance.
