Thanksgiving Stitches

 I forgot to post the stitches I did during our cold Thanksgiving break!  

I love stitching in the cold weather, all bundled up with a coffee or cocoa and a blanket.  I used to love it in the woods the most, and I guess I probably still do, but it's sure nice to do it in Colorado where it's actually cold when it's supposed to be cold!  

I finished this one by CryBaby Cross Stitch and I'm kind of mad that I started it too low on the fabric and I'm not even sure if I'll be able to do much with it.  This is a piece of aida I dyed last week.  I think it's gorgeous with the black.  

This is the second one I've done by Noctiflora Designs.  I started it on a piece of dark fabric and got irritated because it was not really conducive to the colors in the patterns and I messed up so I pitched it and decided I'd revisit after making another piece of aida for it, and so I did!  This is another piece I dyed last week.  I love how it looks on this fabric!  

I think I'll post about the jar dying method next, once I have a couple more pieces done.  I was going to also try to do a blood spatter pattern, but when I tested it on a piece of scrap aida, the dye bleeds too much for it to look good, so I just purchased a piece of fabric already dyed appropriately so I can do a cross stitch piece for my sister, just because.
