Halloween Stitching Day 10 and new stash!!!

What a day!!!!  It was the first day of fall break and I had hoped to sleep in for a long while.  I was not to be...My husband thought he was helping me out and woke me up at 7;15 so I wouldn't be late for work!!!  Very sweet thought but he forgot I was on break.  I went to my classroom around 11 and worked until 2 pm.  I did nothing but organize papers!!  Papers everywhere!!!!!  When you have missed a lot of work and still have to teach....you don't have time to organize anything.     Then I came home to take a 2 hour nap...No judging, I was woken up really early by my husband.   Hubby cooked dinner while I worked on a 5 page college assignment.  I didn't get much stitching time tonight because I have been busy!!!!   

Halloween Project Day 10:  Witches Tea Thyme  JCS Halloween 2014   -  28 count tea dyed.


I managed to get the first page, first row of border done....I admit it..I was too lazy to move the q-snaps so I am jusst going to stay on the first page for the rest of my stitching time tonight.  I didn't have the Rusted color from Romy threads...so I am using Ozark Sampler - Pumpkin It works...



New Stash...First up..  Up ON the Rooftop by Tilton Crafts.   Like I said I love dollhouses...here is the newest one I have purchased!  Isn't it gorgeous???   They are having a sale this week.  Enter  SPOOKY2 to get 25% off your order!!!  

Another Etsy purchase is from Brookes' Books.  She has a new collection coming out and right now until Oct14th you can get this Fairy Tale Princess dress/crown collections for$48 instead of the regular $120 cost!  I cannot wait for this to come out! Brooke said these are not going to look like the Disney designs but own creations...It has Fairy tales...Of course I am getting it!!!!


I have lots more to show you...but I want to make the midnight deadline!  Until tomorrow..I think the mailman is bringing me things!!  I can't wait!!!!

Wow does sound like you are really busy! Love your new Halloween start and Up on the Rooftop is awesome. Can't wait to see what the princess charts look like.

Sing it, sister! I"m "on break" too, but I'm spending it so far trying to catch up. I love those starts and now I'm all tempted to get the Brooke's Books...

I recently picked up Up on the Rooftop soon! Have you seen Dee Stitcher's (on Flosstube)... she has the top row done, plus a bit more I think and it's pretty amazing.

Yikes.. I dislike those unintentional early mornings when you were looking forward to sleeping in. Nice progress and love your new stash!

This reminds me of my 18th birthday when I had a school free day (some teacher meeting stuff) and my farther ran into my room at 6 o'clock to ask if I had a day off... :D

Up on the rooftop looks lovely, I have seen a part of it stitched and it looked lovely =)
Once again you picked a lovely fabric for your WIPs, great start on the witchy tea thyme so far =)
