The Big Reveal ~ Very Scary

My 'Very Scary' is finished and now you get to see what I replaced the teal rectangle with in the middle section...... a cute little eight legged spider.  All the stitching is finished,  I still need to add one bead and make it into a wall hanging.  My husband is going to make a hanger for me. :o)

Here is a close up of the top....

A close up of the middle.... you can see the spider better in this picture.

A close up of the bottom section..... I did end up frogging the right boarder and restitching it. (you can read about that here) Thank you to all who gave me advice about this.

Here is a picture of what it would look like it I had followed the pattern. Much brighter and can you see the teal rectangle? It has a little key charm hanging in it.  I do like this version too. It is so adorable, but I just love more muted colors so I changed a lot of mine. :o)  I also really like spiders as a Halloween theme, so I had to throw a spider in there somewhere.

Here is mine again so you can compare.

I loved stitching 'Very Scary'!  If you are new to 'Very Scary', it is a mystery sampler by Lizzie * Kate.   Happy stitching this week.

All Kinds of Things to Share

              I finally went to the eye doctor after it took me 3 months to work up the nerve to call and make an appointment. I'm not kidding... I have a phone phobia. And guess what... I needed reading glasses.  I knew I did, that's why a made the call. So here are my cute new glasses. My husband says I look like a sexy secretary in them. hahaha. And my daughter says I look like a librarian.

I haven't done much stitching on 'Very Scary'.  My daughter said the moon wasn't scary enough so she drew me a new one. And of course I changed the color.

I've stitched a little on my August BOM.

I used 'So September's' pendant tutorial and made a bus pendant. I think my best friend and camping buddy will be getting this for Christmas. *wink

I started the new BOM at my local quilt shop, Quilting Adventures.  I fell in love with the Earth color way. ( They have 4 color ways available I think) I was going to go with a dark brown background, but yesterday I went in to the shop and spotted this cute batik. It is cream color and has daisy flowers all over it. LOVE.  So I went with it instead.

And last on the list to show.... I finally framed the wedding sampler I stitched up for our friend. The wedding is next weekend.... nothing like waiting until the last minute. LOL

A Saturday in September

A little progress on 'Very Scary'.  I've once again made some color changes.... teehee hee.

I've changed the house color. The pattern called for 'purple haze' (on the left), but I used 'river rocks' (on the right) instead.  I like the 'purple haze' color, for a purple it is very pretty.  It is just too bright for my 'Very Scary'.

I have gone to the dark side and joined the new BOM at my local quilt shop, Quilting Adventures.  I wasn't going to play this time, but I saw the Earth colorway being offered and I couldn't resist.  I haven't picked out my background fabric yet , but I am thinking of going with a very dark brown.

And I just need to show off  the cute minion my daughter and her best friend made.  They made up the pattern themselves following a picture of a minion on line. He even has a little cloak and a book with pages in it.

A minion is a little creature from the game 'League of Legends'. My daughter is a gamer. :o)
