A ghost....

 I have finished "Haunted House" as my May piece.

I just squeezed it in under the "Monsters" theme as it has a ghost in it.

It is another freebie from Maja of The Snowflower Diaries.








I am rather please with her.

hugs, Kaye

Monsters.

Monster Mash

I had a lot of fun stitching Monster Blue for this month.  He's from the 2012 JCS Halloween issue.  Found the perfect buttons to round out the monster ball!

Marcy's May Monster


I finished my monster yesterday.  It's Wicked Night from The Primitive Hare.  He's a bit big for a small but when I was looking for a monster pattern and came across this one, I was hooked.  I started him right away to be sure to get him finished in time.  He's stitched on 22 ct ivory hardanger with dmc 3371 and will be stained with coffee/tea to get that aged look before 'ornamentification'.

Gypsy's May Monster



For May's Monster I found this adorable pattern from Needle Noodles. It took around 3 days to complete due to other family obligations. 

Here's some history about Cthulu for everyone! 


Cthulhu is an elder god discovered by H. P. Lovecraft, who makes his first appearance in the 1928 research article "The Call of Cthulhu". It is one of the central Great Old Ones of the Cthulhu Mythos, and is often cited for the extreme descriptions given of its hideous appearance, its gargantuan size, and the abject terror that it evokes. After its first appearance in "The Call of Cthulhu", Cthulhu makes a few minor appearances in other of Lovecraft's works.[1] August Derleth, a correspondent of Lovecraft's, later used the creature's name to identify the system of lore employed by Lovecraft and his literary successors, the Cthulhu Mythos. Cthulhu is often referred to in science fiction and fantasy circles as a tongue-in-cheek shorthand for extreme horror or evil. - H.P. Lovecraft Wiki

When the creature finally appears, the story says that the "thing cannot be described," but it is called "the green, sticky spawn of the stars", with "flabby claws" and an "awful squid-head with writhing feelers." 

Happy Stitching Everyone!
