Ornament of the Month - August

Here is 's August ornament of the month; the pattern can be found here: sites.google.com/site/nccinter…

This one I had decided I wanted to use what was left of the black Aida - bad idea!  Lately my eyes have been having so much issues seeing small things, that the black was actually difficult for me to work with!  I eventually learned to make sure I had white paper behind it while I was stitching, so I could see the holes, but it still slowed me down a lot.

The colors I chose ended up making it look very Halloween-y (which works for this time of year) - hadn't intended it to, but they were the combination that seemed to work together the best on the black.  Incidentally, I had picked the colors I used for this other cross stitch and hadn't realized it until something on the bobbin made me remember. The realization wasn't as painful as I thought it would be; guess I'm starting to heal.

Sept's ornament will be up soon.  It's completely stitched (finished it before the contest started), just need to cut and felt it.
