Dem Bones & Bookmarks

Ms. Creativity has struck again and I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking.

Jen, Laura and I decided to do a Halloween Exchange together, and on the 31st we met up at the Dutch Delight restaurant for brunch and to exchange gifts. The restaurant was decked out for Halloween, adding to the atmosphere of fun. We ended up displaying our stitched pieces together while we ate, and quite a few people liked what they saw! Afterwards we went back to my place, watched a bit of Supernatural and chilled out together while waiting for the trick-or-treaters to arrive.

My Halloween Exchange for Jen. I made the bone bookmark and stitched a design called Pretty Wicked by Just Nan, finishing it off with a spider frame.

I love Halloween so much I also ended up creating the following bookmark for myself.

Also made the following bookmarks for my sister. Her birthday is coming up, and I wanted to give her something personal, and something she could use often. She’s a bookworm like me, so this was a no brainer.
