October Ort Report & a Lizzie*Kate finish

First, my finish - Lizzie*Kate's Autumn Cottage Boxer. I didn't use the Summer Khaki linen provided, and I swapped out a couple colors (the roof I mentioned earlier, and a few of the leaf colors I didn't have). The fabric next to it is what I plan to use for pillowifying. And yes, the piece IS straight, it was just at a bit of an angle on my work table!


And here's Morticia, showing off my next ornament start - Homespun Elegance's Jingle Jingle. The snow/border is stitched in GAST Roasted Marshmallow, and wouldn't you know, it looks like it blends a bit too much with the fabric....oh well. I like the rest of it on the lighter linen, and it is the right count to keep it from becoming a giant ornament, so I'm not going to worry. Too much.

So my mother and I set up our little table at the craft fair this past weekend.  And we didn't do terribly!  I sold $125 worth of needle...
