Tiny Town Halloween Cross Stitch

Here's a sweet little stitch project that I actually finished last Halloween. It's from a popular series called "Tiny Town" by Heart & Hand Needleworks. The pattern actually has a few more houses, but I was stitching this in Wisconsin with my then 6 month old grandpuppy, Maggie, nearby. She thinks anything bright is a toy. I think I must have gotten tired of trying to keep the floss away from her, as I gave up stitching midway. I think I added the last tree before finishing the buildings, making it shorter than the original pattern.

I threw it in my suitcase and headed for home. When I went to frame it this summer I found a perfect match in size for the frame on Amazon. It all worked out so well. 

As for the cloth, I used 14 count Tarnished Aida from Fabric Flair. I thought it turned out well for a spooky looking background.

I bought both from 123stitch.com and here are the links to both:

I love shopping at 123stitch because their prices are the same as any store, and the shipping is always $3.49. I love that! I've priced some things at Amazon and it's actually the same price or cheaper to pay their low shipping and get it from them.

As for my props, the ghosts are actually measuring cups that I bought at T Maxx. They often have the cutest holiday decor, but you have to shop early. The pumpkins are resin and I got them at an antique store. And if you're ever looking for a riser to display your items, this is simply a bamboo spice rack that I bought at Walmart.

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my little cross stitch finish today!
