Hello again! Happy Halloween!
Yesterday, Vonna and I decided on a new SAL together. We decided to stitch Teresa Kogut's Up on The Housetop. Like I need another WIP, but hey, what's one more?
I am taking her suggestion and going with a darker fabric. I thought about charcoal or slate. Then I remembered I bought a couple of pieces of a deep blue/grey linen called Lake Superior from an Etsy seller, Hometown Linens. I rummaged through a bunch of bags, boxes, bins, and drawers and I finally found it. Right now, I am not organized at all. It was so frustrating not to have this linen at my fingertips.
This linen clicked the buttons for me so that's the linen I am going to use to stitch this little cutie. I chose the 36 count piece because I wanted to use only one strand of thread but after a quick test for coverage and I am going to stitch it 2 over 2. It is reading a very dark grey in the picture, but it is a true blue/grey, much like a soldier blue. Think DMC 930.
We are going to start stitching tomorrow. Tonight, since it is Halloween, I will work on one of my Halloween Wips. Nothing is close to being finished and they all will go back into their bags until next Fall. Christmas stitching will commence tomorrow!
I hope tonight is nothing but treats for you. No tricks!

Fingers crossed I can get my Halloween piece done tonight while we hide from ghost and goblins 😂
