Hello cross stitchers. I feel relaxed and refreshed after my short vacation. How was your Halloween, All Saints and All Souls? All was quiet, fun, and seasonal here. We actually had some chilly weather, so that was nice. Good amount of trick-or-treaters and plenty of leftover candy (I promise that I won't eat it all. Hah)
Vampires
In a questionable move (because I am a coward, I freely admit that) I checked out Dracula by Bram Stoker as an audiobook from the library. Unabridged and terrifying, it was read by Simon Vance. Glad he had a British accent. Somehow that makes audiobooks just a little bit better.
It'll be awhile before I throw the garbage out after sundown.
Spools of Floss
While out at Michaels, I stumbled across this amazing floss.
Floss? Are you sure it's not thread? After all it's on a spool? Nope, no mistake, it's definitley Anchor floss!
Lord Libidan has a wonderful article about the spools of floss. From the article:
"Recently the cross stitch world has been awash with opinions on Anchor Floss’ choice to move to spools in big box stores in North America, and away from the traditional skein. I’ve stayed away from talking about these in the past, as firstly, its North America only for now, and Anchor threads aren’t popular across the world (even if they scored highly in our roundup of the best cross stitch threads). In addition, you either love the idea, or hate it."
Read the whole thing.
Turkeys
Next up is the turkeys. But first, a final look back at this year's progress on Trick-or-Treat Moon.
So much fun. Can't wait for October of next year!
Now we move our focus to the next wip in the lineup. Naturally, it's going to be Turkey Bay. Here's where I'm starting from:
Well that's all I have for now. Enjoy your week and happy stitching!
