So I am catching up! Here are pictures of Dante in his dalmation costume on Halloween. Yes, he had 3 outfits... the other was just a shirt with glow in the dark skeleton bones on it... these 2 were so cute. The middle picture is of the towel that I got my brother from Sturgis (3 months ago) and finally gave him on Sat. :) He says its a tapestry, but its a towel... It will look great in his garage hanging over his custom built chopper :) ... will get pics of that when it comes back from its paint job :) Thank you for your patience with me! I will one day get my Sturgis photos in a place where you can link to them if you would like! Till then you can see them and the band photos at :http://www.doglegpreacher.blogspot.com/

Quoth the Raven; Happy Halloween

So this is a finish I made a few months back... I am not sure if I posted a pic, but I love it, and it is in season... I will make one for me one day... this was a fair and square which I finished into a basket for Mercy. http://prettyinpnk.blogspot.com/ blog on the right... :) Happy Halloween everyone! Laura

THE RAVEN (1845) -an excerpt by Edgar Allan Poe ...Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore... Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore- Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore! Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."...

Fabric question...

Where do y'all find your stitching fabric? My only sources here seem to be Joann's or Michael's, and they are limited to mostly Aida fabric. I don't necessarily want hand-dyed linen, but a nicer quality, softer fabric would be nice. Just curious. Andrea

My dragon egg...

My dragon egg has a little over 4 days before he hatches into a baby dragon. He can only hatch if enough people click on him... :) I would love to see what he looks like! The egg is the green egg to the right --> Thank you all for helping out :) When he is born he will have a name, and he will grow.... :)fun stuff. Happy Stitching, Laura
