One of the benefits of a) working from home and b) having my own office/craft room is decorating it whenever/however I want. I just put up some Halloween finishes.

It has been a while since I pulled out the sewing machine but I really wanted to make a little pillow from this pattern.

I’m alternating between Autumn/Halloween and Christmas projects at the moment so you’ll have to ignore every other post if you think it’s too soon for Christmas.

I’ve finished The Crow by Cottage Garden Sampling’s A Year in the Woods 2 series.
The stitching on these is always a bit intense but the finish is always perfection.

I set myself a challenge to finish the full coverage section of Witches Hollow by Autumn Lane Stitchery and I got it done 🎉
Funnily enough, I found the full coverage section easier going than the rest because I’ve stalled out on it now. Maybe next month I’ll pick it up again

I still have 6 Christmas/Winter finishes to share and my autumn banner but I’ll do that tomorrow. Apparently I got a lot of stitching done in 3 months. Whatever stops me doomscrolling, eh?

Sea Animals Trio by Puntini Puntini
This was one of those stitches where I made myself do the borders first because if I didn’t, I would’ve stopped after the first one.
Stitched on 18ct Aida I dyed myself and with the called for floss. I added beads for the bubbles

Classic Colorworks Sticks & Twigs is the perfect house spider colour because whenever I look down and see this, I jump out of my skin even though I put it there.

Stitching with one strand on 20ct feels so weird since two strands on 18ct is my usual preference - but I do love 20ct Aida. I’ll definitely be using it more this year.
