On Friday I continued working on the Sugar Skulls which will be for my niece and her fiance:
These are from Brooke's Books and are available from her Etsy store.
Having finished Ghostly Mandala on the Thursday I continued with a new evening piece - Potions and Brews by Cherished Stitches from the most recent JCS Hallowe'en Special:
stitched on 28 count Moondust from Crafty Kitten
I am only stitching the top part of this design on this fabric, it's coming up huge as it was charted for 36 count. I don't have enough Moondust for the whole piece and it's lighter than I want anyway. This is just an excuse to try out some different shades of black and dark grey!
I did finish another Hallowe'en Cube on the Sunday, the one with the purple fabric:
I'm using the same backing fabric in three different colours for these cubes.

Looks like the cubes are so cute.

Cute! Not normally a sugar skulls fan but these ones are cute!
Hugs xx
The sugar skulls are looking fab and I love the way that you experiment with your stitching - the cubes look great, too.
Great designs for Halloween!
I have ordered fabric and threads for the Potions pattern.....I hope they will arrive soon :)
Have a great week of stitching :)
Great to see the O cube finished. And such a lot more weekend stitching. You were busy, Jo :)
Great! If I stitch the whole piece I would definitely go for the recommended count and a darker colour fabric than this. But it's a fun design and the letters are going really quickly. As they do!
Gosh! Great stitching Jo! Sugar skulls are progressing well! I love the "O" block, very cute .... and just my colour!! I was just trying to think of a Halloween idea to stitch (not cross stitch though), and that involved a cauldron too!
