UFO's - Of a Different Kind

UFO's - Unidentified Flying Objects or............. UFO's can be UnFinished Objects.  In this case they were identified flying objects that were unfinished.

Going through some of the accumulated "stuff" both in the stamp cave and our "den - repurposed as HWNSNBP's work space" things were found.  Many of them unfinished, lots of them unstarted.  In the stamp cave I found some bead and wire ornament kits.  Two of them were angel kits which I decided to complete this summer.  They weren't hard to do, I just kept putting other projects before them, but finally finished them up a couple of weeks ago.  

This next UFO I found whilst looking for something different with a Halloween theme (which I still haven't found).  At some point, who knows how long ago, I had started cross-stitching this witches dress.  At least I think it was me, or it could have been part of my sister's stuff that I wound up with.  In any case some of the lower leaves had already been started and since it's October and the time for witches I thought it would be a good time to actually finish this.  I ran into a problem when I ran out of floss for the pumpkin on the right.  Thankfully the instructions had the number of each of the floss colors so I was able to pick up another skein at Michael's.  Of course I chose to get back into cross-stitching with black canvas and a pattern that used half-stitches - meaning my eyes were challenged as well as my fingers.  And if that wasn't enough of a challenge, the clothespin for this kit was MIA and despite all the wood bits and bobs that I have (a post for another time) I couldn't find one in my stash.  I did find a few 1"x4" blocks and I was able to carve one down with my dremel tool into a head and body.  I thought I had taken a picture of the before and after but apparently I didn't.  I gave her a green face and black body underneath and substituted some orange ribbon for the suggested floss bow.  I think she turned out rather cute. 

Now where did I put those cross-stitch angels again?  It might be nice to get them done before Christmas.
