Finished and More

 Here it is.  Witches is finished.  I know the picture looks bumpy (uneven surface) but it is ready to be finished and hung - Way before Halloween.  I have worked steady on it for about two weeks, so that goes to show you, I really enjoyed this piece.  Have no idea what I am going to do with it next, I will let you know for sure.
 Here is an update on my Fall Hangup.  This has so much backstitching, well maybe it doesn't have that much, but more than what I am use to - so I do hope this doesn't put me off course, but if it is not the backstitching, it will be for sure a new start for me.
 I really do have a thing for Witches - and when I saw this on a visit to  Stitchers Garden
 (much loved LNS), I could not stop thinking of it.  Even left without purchasing, but did end up going back last Saturday and HAD TO HAVE.  The ladies at the shop were kind enough to help me do somethings to make it just mine - First we switched the fabric - I am such an Orange person so the fabric is 30 ct Carrot - my goodness - Hand dyed I am pretty sure, but that small detail has left the brain - I was so intrigued by the color.  So the threads were Gloriana and we did a switch - so I have Cresent Colors Rainy Day - this is the purple, and there is a tiny bit of a purple in the band of the hat, I am going to grab part of the lighter color of Rainy day - does that make sense - and the Green is Weeks Dye Works and I am so sorry I forget the shade - but it just looks Halloweeny Witchy to me.  So here we go.  Am going to try to get a good start bit of this done over the weekend.  this is the first time ever I have just gone and done something different than the original chart says - and its a WOW for me.  Thanks to the lovely ladies at Stitchers Garden for helping - and to all of you whose blog I read, because you have inspired me.

  1. Your witches turned out fabulous! I can't wait to see how you finish it! The WDW green is very witchy, I do agree! I think I'm the way you are with witches, but with Halloween kitties. Or all cats. :)
