Stitching pumpkins and May TUSAL post!

Orange is a great color, and I've been stitching pumpkins and Jack o'lanterns on lots of different designs.  I thought it would be fun to post them all together!

The Lizzie*Kate Very Scary Mystery Sampler is my first time using Weeks Dye Works overdyed floss and 30 ct linen.  The design is cute but the colors just aren't bright enough for me!  I will stitch this one little by little, but everyone knows it's my least favorite WIP.  I stitched two pumpkins, then rewarded myself by stitching more pumpkins on my other WIPs instead!

I love this colorful Thanksgiving design, Thankful Critters, an Imaginating chart by Ursula Michael.  I stitched the bright orange pumpkin in front of the letter "T" but I used the wrong color green for the vine, so that will be ripped out.

I stitched two little pumpkin faces on Quaker Moon by Bent Creek.

I bought this cute Triple Jack-o-Lanterns kit by Bobbie G Designs last year.  I started stitching the striped pumpkin in the middle of the stack.

I stitched more pumpkins on Fall Welcome, an Imaginating chart by Diane Arthurs.

I have another Imaginating chart by Diane Arthurs, Blessings Hang-Up.  I stitched two pumpkins in her basket.

There is another Jack o'lantern on Halloween House also!

Crazy January starts 25-27

Only four more new starts for the Ultimate Crazy January Challenge!  I have 2 charts and 2 kits left for the Random Number Generator to choose for me.  I chose one of the charts because I won it from a blog giveaway, but I haven't received it yet, so I might have to substitute it with something else from my stash.

Day #25 is Ring Around the Rosie by Sister M. I. Hummel, a Needle Treasures kit.  The floss colors in the chart don't seem to match the picture at all.  There are a lot of dreary grays and browns, which are not the usual bright colors I like to stitch with.  I'm using the 14 ct Aida from the kit and it will be a 10" circle.

Wouldn't it be nice if I had the matching "Ring Around the Rosie" Hummel figurine?  I would love to display it on a shelf right under this finished cross stitch picture.  But they cost $500-$1850 on eBay, so that's not going to happen!

Day #26 is Bear by Roger Reinardy, a Janlynn Wildlife Series kit.  I'm using the 14 ct white Aida from the kit and it will be 5" x 7".  I plan to stitch more animals in this series in the future!  Linda also started this kit today.

Day #27 is Blessings Hang-Up by Diane Arthurs.  She will be cute to hang on the handle of my china cabinet in the dining room next fall!  I started a little on her basket.  It will be about 4" x 9" on 14 ct white Aida.

Happy Stitchy Monday, everyone!
