Who Loves Candy Corn?

That sugary sweet candy that you typically only see during Halloween. The distinctive white, orange, and yellow striped, corn kernel shaped candy that reminds you of trick or treating, costumes, and Halloween parties. Who doesn’t love candy corn?!?! I love the cooler weather and beautiful colors of autumn. I love the Halloween decorations, the costume parties, and of course, candy corn. I wanted to create a fabric wreath that reminded me of this beautiful time of year.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been working on a large rag candy corn wreath and a candy corn fabric candle ring. Both ended up using eleven types of fabric! These will be going into my Calico Craft Designs Etsy shop but I am definitely going to have to make another one just for me. As always, let me know what you think. Feedback is always appreciated.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

TUSAL Progress - August Update

I'm a little ashamed to show my TUSAL photo this month.  It's quite pitiful. :-(  I'm pretty sure I could come up with a few good reasons but I'll just show the photo and chalk it up to being busy.  Better luck next month!

The next posting is due September 5th.  Be sure to check out the link to the TUSAL challenge by clicking on the list on the main blog page.

WIPocalypse 2013 - July Update

Unfortunately, as evidenced by my currently empty TUSAL glass that you will soon see (August 6th), I have not done very much cross-stitching this month.  To be honest, up to this point, I have not worked on anything.  I know, I know...bad, bad, bad.  But I will be back with updates on August 20th, I promise!

Look What I Won!

Thank you very much to SoCal Debbie of "Debbie's Cross Stitch" blog!  I was entered into a drawing for a free "Let's Do Coffee" chart and I was chose at random as the winner!  I'm so excited!  I can't believe I was actually chosen.  I have the perfect person in mind to receive this design as a gift.  And I may stitch it for myself as well.  I'll be sure to post a few photos of my progress once I get started. :-)  Here's a photo of Debbie's finished design from her blog.

TUSAL Progress - July Update

It's TUSAL time!  Earlier this week on July 8th was the monthly TUSAL challenge update.  Unfortuately, I've been a bit busy this week studying for a test, working on my school project, and dealing with a lot of work at the ol' J.O.B.  I just now was able to get a moment to post my ORTs and progress for the month of July.

I did make a bit more progress this month and have a few more threads to show for it.  I've been working with a lot of pink apparently!  I've added a couple of photos of my ORTs with some pretty fabric that I'm using for a couple of charity pieces I'm currently working on.

The next posting is due August 6th.  Be sure to check out the link to the TUSAL challenge by clicking on the list on the main blog page.
