Plans for Next Year

We've had all the excitement of Hallowe'en's Evening this year.  Here is a photo of some of my spooky stitching on display:


L-R Carand 88 Spooky Kitties, Blackbird Designs Spell of the Moon, Acorn House Designs Drac-in-the Box, Primitive Hare Spooky Countdown, Mill Hill Hallowe'en
Plus you can just see the bottom of Just Nan Autumn Haze on the wall behind.

San Man Spooky SAL
Just Nan Frightful
Primitive Needle By The Light of the Moon

One of the parenting groups I belong to had an online pumpkin carving competition but as we don't do that I decided to submit some of my pumpkin stitching instead!  It was very well received and got plenty of "likes" but not as many as the Ninja Mutant Turtle carved out of a water melon by the woman who couldn't find a pumpkin!


It would be lovely to see your Hallowe'en decorations too, so please feel free to post some photos.

And now on to the Big Question - do you want this blog to continue next year?

It doesn't matter whether you have made a post every month or just once or twice.  The important thing is that you love seeing the spooky stitching!

And if you would like the blog to continue, what themes would you like to see next year?  What were your favourites this year you'd like included and are there any new ones you would like to see?

Please leave a comment so I can start planning for 2015!

I love this group... I know I started off well and then well not sure what happened :(
It's different here in UK... Halloween is just not celebrated in the wonderful way it is further a field. Shame really..
I loved seeing everyone's projects... And wow! Jo your amazing at putting it all together, your stitching projects are totally awesome too.
I would love to see this blog carry on and if so I promise to contribute more :)
Thank you for an amazing blog and everyone's contribution as it's everyone's imput that makes it brilliant :)

I love your halloween display :)
I absolutely would love to have the blog continue next year... And I will endeavour to keep up!!

As for themes... I love the idea of the cats, witches, pumpkins, ghosts.... I did struggle with monsters though as I don't have a large enough stash of halloween designs yet!!!

It would be nice to maybe feature a particular designer one month as something different as well.

Will try and think of some more ideas over the next few weeks :)

Thank you for wanting to continue with this wonderful blog :)
Hugs xx

Lovely display, Jo!

Yes, please continue with the blog.
How about not to make ornaments with themes ... just post a Halloween ornament per month ...

Hugs,
Lili

Love your display Jo. Would like to continue next year. I have a lot of other designs I would like to stitch.

LKICT said...

I would like to join if you continue. Love making ornaments but also like the idea of posting whatever piece someone is working on. Getting encouragement from the group helps with progress ;-D

Hi Jo, I would love it to continue although I have not posted as often as I would like. I actually like the themes as they often make me search for a good design to fit it. The themes we had this year worked well, I thought.
