Countdown to Halloween: Day 2 or....It Came From The Sea...

From the depths of the sea comes a legend...a monster. He has been known to take down ships, destroy men's lives and in his spare time, collect rick rack for art projects. 

I stitched this piece up but couldn't figure out just how to frame it. I decided to have the octopus coming out of the sea, looking for his next victim, or pieces of rick rack; whichever came first. 

Tute Thursday: Kittyware

I am a huge collector of vintage patterns and love to share them. These are my latest finds, all cleaned up and ready for you to stitch up! How adorable is the little kitty on this chinaware.  Please let me know if you stitch this pattern up, I would love to feature your finished work.

PS-There are two more patterns, I need to scan them a little better and I will post them later for you.
