Halloween Blog Hop

Welcome, Blog Hoppers! Serendipitous Jo has once again gathered the blogging community to celebrate Halloween. And my letter for you is

Barcley custom corsetsM 

I had hoped to finish my October small before today, but no such luck. I think I may not have shown this piece before. It's a Mill Hill kit that I stitched preblog.



I realize that shot, while spooky (I find that pumpkin clown creepy) doesn't show the stitching and beading very well. So here's a close up!  This was a lot of fun to stitch, lots of specialty stitches and beads. That frame was stupid expensive, but I loved the candy corn. (I don't love it to eat it nearly as much!) This piece, which is on perforated paper, has held up really well since I think it dates back at least to 2003!

Hopping friends should now make their way back to Serendipitous Stitching.

What an adorable Mill Hill finish; that frame is very cool. That clown, on the other hand, is really creepy.

That Clown is TOO creepy. I must agree, the frame is great - as is the finish inside it.
