Day #13 of the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge is Boos Brothers from the
Halloweenies chart by Sue Hillis Designs. I've only stitched their hats and sunglasses. Do you think I should use glow-in-the-dark floss for their bodies? This is stitched on 14 ct black Aida and will be 3.5" x 5.5".

Looking through my
WIPocalypse list, I found Boo! Club hasn't been stitched on since last July. Today I started "
Fright" which is part 8 of this 12-part design. I stitched part of the border and the yellow moon.

We had two earthquakes the last two nights, at 1:35 a.m. and then 1:50 a.m. the next night. The epicenter was less than a mile from my home so they felt a lot bigger than they actually were, 4.4 and 3.2 magnitude, actually bouncing the bed off the floor! It's also been very windy and hot in the 80s. A
wildfire started this morning, grew from 50 acres to over 1700 acres in a few hours and is burning down houses. This is about 25 miles away. How is the weather where you live?
Oh my Debbie. I hope the wildfire isn't close to you. Glad to know that the earthquakes didn't cause any damage. Love your new start and perfect match with Boo Club. I think the glow in the dark floss would be awesome.

Great start. I think the glow in the dark thread would look great but I think it's a pain to work with. So for all that stitching you might not want to. Plus how often do you have the finished piece in the dark to look at it? LOL
ReplyDeleteI've never experienced an earthquake. Glad it wasn't any worse for you. I've been watching The Weather Channel and they keep showing the fires in CA. I hope they stay away from you. Right now we are getting snow. It amounted to a quick inch and a half at least. Heavy winds also. So there are accidents everywhere. Glad I just get to stay inside. Next week we are supposed to go below zero again though so I guess 27 degrees is warm haha.
Sorry I left a comment and it went through 3 times! I tried to delete 2, but it deleted them all!
ReplyDeleteI DID say that I'd leave the Boo Brothers with white bodies. I love that series.
Wow! Two disasters - hope there's not a third one around the corner. Sat safe and keep stitching to calm you down! Here we still have rain, temps about 7-10C. But at least we are far enough away from all those storms which have struck the south coast and Wales.
Hope you keep safe and sound with no more earthquakes and no fires reaching you. It's cold, wet and miserable in my part of the world.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I am very glad that the earthquake did not cause harm to you.
ReplyDeleteHere in Brazil earthquakes are not common. It's hot and it rains a lot in the late afternoon.
Your start is amazing! :)
Luckily for us, earthquakes are uncommon here in Melbourne. Yours sound frightening. Weather is abominably hot here at the moment!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness I hope the earthquake didn't break anything and the fires missed your neighborhood. WOW you have quite the wipocalypse list. I'm sending you good wishes and a steady "frog free" needle to get that list knocked down.
ReplyDeleteOh my, these Boo Brothers are hilarious, lol. I love them.
ReplyDeleteWe rarely experience earthquakes here, the last one was three or four years ago at a magnitude between 4 and 5, but no damages as far as I know. But we could feel it, of course.
I hope that the wildfires have been extinguished by now. Fortunately we don't have wildfires here.
Boo's Brothers made me giggle ... The Blues Brothers in one of my hubbys favourite films!
ReplyDeleteI hope there was no damage! The weather is uncomfortably hot here and fires are breaking out but it is summer so it's not unusual. Gorgeous stitching
ReplyDeleteHope everything is ok after the earthquakes? Not sure I would want to experience the bed bouncing!
ReplyDeleteI think glow in the dark thread would look brilliant for that design. I can't wait to see more progress.
Glow in the dark thread would be a great idea, but from what I hear it can be difficult to work with, maybe some thread heaven might be in order!
ReplyDeleteHow scary about the earthquakes, we apparently had one a couple of years back, I slept through the whole thing! haha x
Wow, that weather sounds awful and the earthquakes must be scary!
ReplyDeleteI love the Halloween projects, they are always such fun!
