Checkered Halloween from M Designs - This is the kit that I'm stitching for a shop model. I really enjoy working on the checkered fabric. It's easy to tell when you are off! I've got quite a bit done on the interior - the border is going to take a while!

Jayden's stocking is more than half way done! Can I hear a "WooHoo!" I have another G-man started and after he is finished, there are only 2 left! I've been doing the backstitching as I go along so once everything is stitched, I'll only have to go back and do some french knots. Jayden will have his stocking for this Christmas!!

Here's Samantha! The bottom half of the chart is complete, including the backstitching. The only area I couldn't do was her back since the porch pillar and trellis are there.

And here is Sleepy Hollow!!! The roof of the Van Tasel home is huge! There are another 10-12 rows above the dormer windows, as well as 3 chimneys! I've got 3 skeins of London Fog for the roof. 2 are more gray and dark gray and 1 leans more toward dark brown. I've been switching back and forth with 1 strand of each and then 2 strands of the dark gray. So far I like the effect.

Thanks for looking!
