I've been seeing a lot of sugar skulls in the cross stitch world lately and thought I should get into the act. It works out perfectly for November's theme.
This is in the 2015 JCS Halloween special issue. It stitched up pretty quickly and was fun to stitch.
While I'm thinking of Halloween, I'd like to tell you a little story. My sister was born when I was 16. I can remember my mom sewing her pumpkin suit. It was so cute, she hung onto it. Fast forward to when my kids were of trick or treating age. All 4 of them wore it when it fit them for Halloween. Later, my bil took the individual pictures and merged them into one and made a shirt for me. Here's the picture:
My mom didn't have any idea that pumpkin suit would get that much "mileage". Fast forward to present time...my daughter who just gave us our first grandchild this year wants us to find the costume for her daughter to wear when she's a little older.
