I have been participating in exchanges at the Crazyfrcs Group on Yahoo. It's a great group of ladies there, and I've thoroughly enjoyed sending & receiving packages with them over the last several months!!

There is a Trick-or-Treat Halloween exchange that I'm doing, and I stitched this haunted house ornament for my partner, Gina. I hope she likes it. Unfortunately it was on 22 ct aida and the stitches were so tiny, that when it came time to do the french knots on the jack-o-lantern and ghost, they didn't turn out that well at all. There wasn't anything I could do to fix them either, at least not that I could think of. I didn't want to rip out the whole section and redo it because there's a deadline for mailing and for me it's coming up quick. I'm going to mail her package out before the deadline because I'll be on vacation and will miss the deadline if I don't.

If you're interested in joining the group, we'd love to have you!! You can find us at
Crazyforcs Exchange. There are exchanges for every taste and budget!! Hope to see you there!! Let me know ahead of time if you want to join and I'll make sure to be in a good word for you!!

Anyway just wanted to show off my ornie!! Pretty cute, huh?

That's really nice. You do awesome work!!

Have you thought about using a small black seed bead where the french knots should be?
