Gahhh! It is so difficult to get this fabric to photograph the correct color! This was the best of the bunch and it's crooked. It will have to do. A fun little finish for Halloween. I played with the colors a lot on this design a change here and a change there. I changed the blocks of four stitches under the word "Spooky" into large Smyrna crosses. I also added a stitch to the border to make it even up ~ which I'm wishing I had done to the last Boo Club I stitched. It just bothered me sooo much! Who knew I could be that OCD?
Design ~ Boo Club "Spooky"
Designer ~ Lizzie*Kate
Fabric ~ 32 count Daffycat Dyed Jobelan
Fiber ~ DMC
I've just finished my last Ornament Swap stitching. I'll do the finishing on the weekend and it will be ready to go. One other is in the mail as we speak and will be shared as soon as it is received. This has been a fun exchange and I will miss it very much ~ but everyone else is ready to end so there she goes. I'll have to arrange some private swaps soon or I will have Exchange Withdrawal symptoms.
I came across some very helpful instructions today. Do you take nasty pills? I really hate when I'm congested and I have to take those disgusting mucus reliever pills, you know? Gag! Not that I like fruit roll-ups much better (who likes plasticy fruit?) but I will certainly keep this in mind as I'd rather swallow fruity tasting plastic than guaifenesin tablets!
I'm planning a fun project. In the kitting up stage ~ so stay tuned ~ more to come later!
Thank you for visiting my blog today!

Very cute! Halloween is one of my favorite themes! Congrats!
That is cute as can be! I love the linen color even if it doesn't look correct on my monitor. Looking forward to seeing your next project.
Spooky is very cute (and spooky too of course). I'm allergic to that medicine, so next time I'm congested, I'll just eat the fruit roll-up unadulterated!
What a great Halloween finish! I love it!
This is so cute! Love the Smyrna crosses. ♥
Your spooky looks great!
Hope you feel better soon. I am trying not to take the antibiotic horse pills. Fighting the cold/upper respiratory stuff to the end.
Happy Halloween stitching,

Sweet finish Sharon! Love the color of the fabric :o)
I love your Halloween stitching.
I also have trouble getting fabric to photograph in the correct colour, but then again I am a crap photographer LOL
This is adorable!!!!!
Spooky looks adorable!! I love Halloween stitching! Love the pill idea!
Spooky looks great! I agree with the above - personally I'd just eat the rollup! I used to love those things as a kid
Love the Spooky stitchery! Your work is always lovley!
Hugs
Great Halloween stitching! So frustrating when the pic doesn't come out the right colour. Can't wait to see what you're working on next!
Awesome finish!! Halloween is my favorite!
It's spooktacular!! I also seem to have difficult getting pics of my fabric. They never seem exactly right.
Good thing I don't need the fruit rollups, I really don't like them. I can swallow just about any pill easily and quick enough that I don't taste them.
Very fun colors in this one!
Very nice.
If you ever want to do an exchange, I'm up for it!!
Sooo cute Sharon! This my favorite time of the year and Halloween makes it even more fun. Love your changes and esp. those smyrnas. :)
A lovely finish.

Adorable! It's crooked because it's haunted. Spooky!! ;o)
Spoooky is cuter than cute. That is a great tip for horrible meds.....Just don't forget and chew it! lolol
Ugh...guaifenesin is narsty junk!! Still tastes better than NyQuil, though!!
The border would have bugged me, too. =)
cute finish
I love Spooky! You did an awesome job with your changes. Halloween designs are such fun to stitch!
Cute finish!
Awwww, too cute!! :D
How cute! I love it.
Spooky is just so cute!!!! Nice work girl!
Love the finish, so cute!! What a great idea for the pills!!! Thanks for sharing that!
Great spooky finish! I don't think the worst tablets in the world would persuade me to try those fruit roll up things
Lovely finish, well done.
Great finish on Spooky!
Ooo, that's cute! I like the colors :D
Cute finish! Thanks for sharing the pill info. Who knew? I have a teen-age son who has an AWFUL time taking pills but loves the fruit roll-ups. (yea, I know - they're packed with sugar...) :( I will definitely try this next time the poor kid needs an allergy pill.
Can't wait to see what project you're teasing us with! :)
I really like your Spooky! Now I want to go and add borders to all my finished ornaments.
That is such a super cute finish! Great job.
Lovely finish, the colours are perfect for Halloween. I look forward to seeing your new project, sounds very interesting. Best wishes.
Its a lovely finish Sharon!
I love your changes to Spooky. I stitched it as charted, but I really like the way yours looks better. Sorry you have a cold
A great little finish. Stitched on a really fantastic colour.
Super little finish, love the fabric colour
Well, I see I've commented on roughly every other post - not bad for me, so that's a compliment to your blog - it must be interesting and filled with comment-worthy stitching, lol!
Sharon,
I love your version of spooky. Those colors go so well together.
Thanks for the tip on the fruit roll up and taking meds.
Nice Stitching. I love Halloween!
Love your Spooky. I also have that set.
Linda
Love it!
Your Spooky looks great! You did a fantastic job!
So cute!!
Hugs
Your SPOOKY is very nice!
I love the halloween stitching - the bat is the best!
The tablets are a whole lot better than swallowing all that syrup though! YUCK!
