My Halloween Scream House came!

This is so exciting, it seemed like I waited forever for it to come. Boy, was it worth it. You will see that it came wrapped like a gift and was so exciting. Look how neat it is, I will take pics when I start it. It is a higher thread count than I am used to, so it is going to take a bit more practice for me to be ready to start.

I paid extra to for the over-dyed threads, a tiny pair of scissors that will fit, special black pins, the material, and the finishing materials. As you can see it was wrapped so gorgeous and as I opened it...WOW!
