Spooky tin
Over the Top/In the Tin 2009 series: Spooky by Just Nan
Peoria Purple Weeks Dye Works linen (30ct)
Stitched with DMC
Hooray; the Spooky fabric arrived! As you can see, this tin is different from the others. Instead of a separate stitching accessory, the tin lid becomes a witch hat. It was easier to assemble than I thought it would be, and after stitching up so many Blackbird Designs and Shepherd’s Bush Halloween projects in soft, muted shades it was a fun change to work with such a bright palette.
The last tin, Glow, will be released in November, and that’s the end of the two-year set of tins. Next year’s series will be a set of four humbugs; Hootzi the owl is this year’s preview. I’ve enjoyed the tins, but it will also be fun to move on to a new type of finish.

So pretty! I really really hope there are some still floating around for sale when I get a job!
Although is it the photography or the fabric itself that makes it blueish? Other photos I’ve seen of it have it more purple?

It’s my photo. Our weather has turned cold and rainy, so it’s dark all day long. Great for stitching, lousy for taking pictures of the stitching. I hope this picture will show off the purple fabric a little better. The fabric really does look as purple in real life as the picture on the Spooky package.

Dear Heather, do you remember me?
It has been a long time since we talked last time…
I just finished the publishing of Mansfield Park in portuguese (I´m the translator).
On June I officially released JASBRA (Jane Austen Society of Brazil) and we did our 1st national meeting too!
Tell me, how are you doing? Your wallpapers are really fine! Thanks!
