I decided to take a different approach to the Halloween theme this year. Instead of spiders, ghosts, bats, etc., how about a dozen donuts?

They look good enough to eat, and are in Halloween-inspired colors. Luckily for me, since I no longer eat donuts, they're not real. Instead of baking, I stitched these up with embroidery floss and wool felt. It was a good project to use up some more wool felt scraps.

I used this template to make the donuts.

Most of the donuts have sprinkles; some with black icing:

Purple icing:

Green icing:

And orange icing:

And a couple with white icing and spider webs:

They add some Halloween vibes to my kitchen counter, for sure!

Bee Kind Blog Hop


I'm so happy to be joining in another fun blog hop, this time brought to us by Joan of MooseStash Quilting.

Here's the list of today's participants:

For this hop I created a bee-themed piece, and I'm also making it available as a FREE pattern.

It's a little stitchery that I'm calling "Bee Kind," (not very original, I know lol.)



Just right-click on the image and save it to your computer. 
The image should measure 8" x 10" so make sure that is the size before you print it out.

Or, you can contact me for the pattern by going to my profile page and clicking on "email."

I like to use a product called Fabri-Solvy when I'm doing embroidery. 



You print the pattern on it, and then stick it on the top of your fabric. Then, you can stitch right through it. Afterwards, soak it in warm water to remove the Fabri-Solvy.


Here's my final stitchery:

I love reading your comments and will reply to them via this blog. For some reason, I no longer get emails when people comment; I used to reply via those emails. Hopefully you still get notified that I've replied to your comment here.

Finally, be sure to visit everyone in the hop on their day:
