Rushing the Season

Warning:  this is a picture heavy post.

 Do you decorate for Halloween?  Do you decorate for Halloween in September?  This year I started putting out some of  my Halloween cross stitch decorations early.  I made a tree for my Halloween ornaments a couple of years ago. 

 
I made some of the ornaments.  Others were given to me by my online stitching friends.  This is my mantel minus the fake cobwebs I sometimes put up.
 
 
 My friend Jennifer did the stitching and finishing of this Prairie Schooler flat fold.

 
Jennifer also made me this treat bag.  I put a can of soup inside, so it can stand up for display.
 
 
Just Nan makes some of my favorite Halloween charts.  I did the stitching and finishing of these.






 
This is a Shepherd's Bush, also my work. The bow on this one needs a little help!

 
My friend Jodi stitched this witch, and I finished her into a flat fold.


This framed piece is from Cross Eyed Cricket.
 
This piece is in my foyer.  I think it came from a magazine.
 
 
 
I have a sewing machine drawer full of cross stitched smalls.  Most of these were made for me by friends who know I love Halloween.
 
 
My friend Nancy stitched and finished this Drawn Thread pillow:
 
 
I made 'Smell My Feet' into a pillow:
 
 
I think that is all!
