My Stitching and BackYard World

I haven't quite finished my block #10 from Santa's village.I still have a star and some snowflakes to stitch.. ~~  photo b87ecb32-7bce-4276-8be5-fbb89b982bfc_zps2d43bb42.jpg   But I had to stop stitching on SV because September came and the weather got 'fall' like.I just needed to stitch something Fall. I had been 'eye-balling' Plum Street Sampler's 'Halloweenie' for awhile...and I finally started it.~~ photo 5229ba7e-3674-4734-a78e-ded4261a5cb2_zpsd0aa68ba.jpg And can I tell you I can not wait to stitch those dogs! Adorable!   ~~ I don't think I've shown my 'And a Forest Grew' in awhile... I do try to stitch on it every now and then. This pattern / design has been wonderful to stitch. Every little tree and creature are different so it makes it so fun. photo 681478ae-fe80-41b2-babc-59287c0c81a4_zpsa86144e3.jpg Here's another look, but closer so you can see some details... photo 371f75ea-6d54-4a33-b7d5-abc32a406c4a_zps53f80e57.jpg Lastly in my Stitching World, I've been trying to find frames for these two...'Song of the Season's' and 'Ghoul Tidings'. I have been trying to hit our thrift store once a week but not luck yet.  photo d8a4ea3a-d377-4325-a55e-912a42061bc7_zps6a89d1e2.jpg I would love to find a cool ornate frame for my Ghoul Tidings before October starts. So far I either find ones that are too plain, too big or too small. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In my BackYard World, we have a chipmunk who my husband has now named Alvin. Here is Alvin stealing bird food from my bird feeder... photo 25c56388-c490-419f-9e85-dcb19f9bcd4d_zps6fc2cf41.jpg And here he is drinking from our little waterfall... photo e26b34fc-0d0f-42d3-9e0f-457746cbf51e_zpseb5b9327.jpg It's he adorable?!

Amy your stitching is perfection. Since your Ghoul tidings is a seasonal piece and you are having a hard time finding a frame, have you considered finishing it like a framed piece...but not framed? LOL! Look at my blog from yesterday to understand what I mean. The finish I did there makes a perfect "frame" piece that you can hang like a picture or sit in a pretty easel....if you need help understanding how its done e-mail me. It is simple. Reason I'm telling you this is: your Ghoul Tidings is too darn cute not to be displayed this year!
