I heard about a woman who celebrates a special holiday -- possibly called "My Bloody Valentine"?? -- halfway between Valentine's Day and Halloween.... but I can't find any info about it on t'Internet. Closest thing I discovered was a "Halfway to Halloween" idea that encourages you to eat Halloween candy. But me? I'm just making ornaments every month.
In January I started work on a small cross-stitched ornament taken from a pattern in an old Cross Stitcher Halloween issue:
I'm stitched it on some Aida I ice-dyed last summer, leaving the "white" area (behind the "Boo!") unstitched to take advantage of the pretty Aida.
Forgive the terrible picture, but I feel I also didn't do a great job of finishing the piece. But I still like the stitching and I think it will look cute on my tree.
For the next month, I'm going to work on a companion piece, from the same issue of Cross Stitcher Halloween:
I'll stitch it on the same ice-dyed Aida (which I'll use on the back).
I'll be back on March 13 to share my finished ornament and my next project pick.
