How I keep busy

or pretend to...

I had a "chunk" of Primitive Muslin fabric
(by Primitive Gatherings/Moda)
that was calling out to me...
I love the mottled-ness of the shading
(I'm pretty sure the color is Tallow).

I think it was calling out to be something with some
hand-embroidery stitching on it...

I traced and then crayon-shaded this cute pattern

called Which Witches Boot by Crabapple Hill.

Then I stitched it:

Well, most of it is stitched...

Still need to stitch the ribbon candy,

the pumpkin's collar and the variegated black in the boot.

I stitched it with the designer's color choices
and used the Cosmo threads called for.

The colors are definitely brighter than I would have chosen, but I liked stitching with the Cosmo threads.  They stitch very smoothly and don't tangle easily.

And it sure is cute!

Back to keeping busy!
