Love the halloween piece as well.
I have done some really simple little cross stitch pieces, on sparkly Aida, made them into lavender sachets. Made about 12 or so.

I am going to a Christmas market on the 8th of December, I have been sewing lots of things, now I want to make some cross stitched pieces as well. If you want to see, take a look at my blog, I posted some photos there.
