Heres my attempt, its stitched with dmcs Satin threads.... sorry the picture is a bit rubbish I think the flash was refecting off the threads making it reflect so to speak. So a lot of the pic I took were very blurry. I hope you like it :)

Very cute biscornu! I particularly like the green vines throughout it.

I'm about 80% finished with my stitching of the biscornu. Depending on how busy this week is at work, or rather if this oncoming infection I am getting is going to force me to stay at home for a few days, I should have it ready for the final stage within a day or two.

However I am having great difficulty trying to find a central button that I like!

I got them off ebay a couple of months ago :) I got a pack of 6 Halloween buttons with 3 different designs and a pack of Halloween charms for about £2.20 (inc postage).....it was a bargain!! :)

I'm finding it really hard to find buttons over here as well siti! It's rather hard to find the right 'novelty' button, but when there's little selection it makes it even harder!

If you can't find a good button, some beads would do perfectly. I have also used a tiny ribbon bow once and it looked great!

That's correct Kell. Posting date starts 1st October so that everyone will receive theirs before Halloween.

Lol, thanks Shin.... although it wasnt intentional it did turn out pretty good :) I havent got the hang of new camera yet and I was having issues with the flash on it, the shelf was the only place I could put it which sorta had the right light.....still havent got the hang of camera, the instruction book ,which someone somewhere decided it would be a good idea to put it on a disc, however I do not have a functional disc drive so its just useless!

Oh by the way could you PM me your address then I can get it already for posting :)

So, is the list in the order that we'll be sending out? Or is that still to be sorted out closer to the time? (Just want to make sure I've not missed anything - LOL!)
