I just love the Vintage Pearled Barley for him-he looks so good on it and the backing fabric...TOO cute!!
He's a pretty cool ghost huh?? LOL!! I know not everyone is a Halloween lover like some of us...I wouldn't want him to go live with someone that wouldn't love him ;) ;)

Yes, Judy... I have to do all the things many homemakers do...I am just very good with time management and routine :) Fortunately I am a stay at home wife. How I wish everyone that would like to be could do the same.. Thankfully my hubby allows me this luxury :) I worked for many years in the school system and now I get to stay at home and have my time :) Ask anyone who knows me. I do everything in a day that needs to be done. My home is clean, clothes washed, meals cooked, gardening done, errands ran-I even do other hobbies outside of cross stitch-it just happens to be my passion and EVERY free second I can devote to it I do. My children however are grown-though DD stills lives at home she takes care of herself :)
Another reader commented about me doing the finishing on a piece once the stitching is done...I am a believer that needlework is meant to be enjoyed-not put in a drawer somewhere so nobody can see or enjoy it. So I finish all my pieces off when I finish stitching them so that myself, my family or friends can enjoy them. YES, I let people touch and handle my stitching all the time :) That's what it is about to me :)
Thank you to those that leave such sweet comments and emails for me. I honestly appreciate and enjoy them so much more than you will know. Please come again :)
hugs and love from SC :)

Very pretty, Becky. I think it's adorable, but you don't need to include me in the drawing - I'm a huge collector if Christmas ornaments, but rarely do any Halloween stitching. By this time of year, I'm usually lamenting my lack of Christmas stitching. :(
Oh Becky!!! Crowjacker would be welcomed at my Home! You know Me!! I love Halloween !
I absolutely love this piece and would be so honored if he came to live with me!
I'd love to hang this up for Halloween! You always have finish your stitching so beautifully. Please include me in your drawing.
How cute is that? I love that he's riding a crow/blackbird. Love those birds. He would be more than welcome to come to Texas and live with me. I would take great care of him. Please enter me and thank you for the giveaway. :)
Oh Becky, I would love to give Gasper a loving home! He looks so cute riding that black bird! I'm sure the bird would be no problem either! Give him some bird seed every day, how hard could it be! Gasper would be so welcomed. Thank you for entering my name too! Lyn in CO.
I would be thrilled to have Casper and his crow buddy to come live at my house. I have a big old victorian that he would have plenty of room and fun flying around in to be seen.
I am amazed at your quick stitching, the piece looks so involved with all of the colors.
Gasper is really cute! great job!
Please pardon me for calling Gasper by the wrong name. It is the ghostly hour that I am posting comments.
Gasper is just sooo cute. Please enter me in your draw.
Ha-ha-ha! Gasper is so amusing! I adore him! It makes everybody smile :)
I am loving Halloween. It and New Year are my favorites (in my country we celebrate New Year as you celebrate Christmas). I don't care about religious background I just enjoy their fairytale atmosphere.
Gasper is gorgeous, and finished beautifully.
Most of my stitching ends up in a drawer (which is a shame) since I'm not a great finisher, but I do hope to change that over time. I certainly feel inspired when I look at all your beautiful finishes.
Oh Becky....Gasper is super cute! I'd love to give him a new home :) I only work part time so it gives me a bit more time to stitch and it is my passion too and everyone who knows me knows that when I sit, I stitch. I hate sitting and not stitching it drives me crazy. My Mom is stay at home too and she is the exact same way, she sits, she stitches and she is totally devoted to it too :) I love how we can share our passions with others!
Hi Becky, I love Gasper the ghost and I can just see him haunting an English home!!!! I would make him most welcome! That backing fabric is fab!!!!!
Hugs Across the pond...

Have a nice day,
Take care & keep stitching

An adorable Halloween ornament. The backing fabric is perfect. I hope Gasper comes to live with me.
First of all, another great piece with an amazing fisnish, then... not only Casper would be welcome in my home as he would appreciate Portugal's weather!
This is the CUTEST Halloween design...top of my list. And fun enough to be out all year round!
Oh who wouldn't love this little guy, what a cutie!
I would definately love to be included in the draw.
Hugs

Gasper is adorable! You do such fine work. I need to be more disciplined when it comes to finishing.
I've never stitched anything having to do with Halloween so I would love to display this little cutie in my home!
Thanks :)
Lol..I love the crow in this piece...just look at those legs! You are just a super-woman with your progress..I hope you are able to make your goal of 100 finishes :)
I would love to have Gasper to hang in my home. Looking forward to your next post & pics.
Smiles, DianeM
Love him! Also love to stitch Halloween/Fall things..my favorite time of the year!
Gasper is just too cool! Love how you finished him and I thank you for the inspiration I receive from your blog!
hy Becky, this work is perfect as always yours!!
I'd like to have it in my home to add it to my pumpkin and halloween collection.
Bye
Raffaella
That is a very beautiful piece you made !!
Gaspar is darling, Becky! I'd love to have the chance to make him part of my Halloween decorations. Thank you for offering the drawing.
You're inspiring me to go get some of my stitching out of the drawer and actually finish it. This weekend I think I'll tackle an ornament!
Gasper is adorable! I'd love to be included in the drawing.
Good for you on your time management skills. My DH is very supportive of my stitching hobby, too. He says he hates to see me just watching TV or sitting down w/o stitching in my hands. :)
How Cute! You've really got the time management thing down. I had more time when I was just a part time worker, but since I went full time in the past year I'm still trying to figure it all out. Hopefully, I'll get there soon. Thanks for sharing!
I think that's the cutest one yet! Love it!
Yes! He is another cutie! I know what you mean about time management. There are times when I seem to be able to get a ton of things done, and then there are other times when nothing seems to get done. I think it has to do with my concentration level and, admittedly motivation. (The motivation requirement comes in with the housework - LOL)
Oh he's adorable! I'd so love a chance to win him too! I think I'm pretty good with time management too. Although I tend to ignore my housework more than I should. :D
Becky he is too cute! Who wouldn't love him???? This is the first year I'm going to have a Halloween display ( a black tree) , I've managed to stitch 5 ornaments so far, so I'd love to have him come live with me so please enter me :) Thank you.
I just love all your little finishes. You are so quick. I have just become a follower, and I can't wait to see more.
Thanks so much for sharing
I already made space for him on my little tree! Soo cute. I love the way you manage your day. You must have more hours than we do in Florida! LOL Thank You,Beth N.(stormybrew57@aol.com)
Gasper come home!!!Your for me!!!LOL!!
I would love to own Gasper! Please enter me in the giveaway. I love Halloween. It is my favorite holiday out of any others. Great finishing.
You are right, too cute :-)
Gasper is such a super cute little guy! Love the backing too! Please count my name in x
Another real cutie. I'd love for him to fly to my house. Please enter me. I need to come get lessons in time management from you!
That's adorable! Your finishing always amazes me. I just love coming to look at your pieces. Your home must be just lovely this Fall! Thanks for the chance to win this piece. ID treasure it! Nancy in nY Hedghogmom@aol.com
Really, there are folks who don/t like Halloween? Gasper would have a place on my Halloween tree. Thanks for the opportunity.
Hi Becky! Another adorable finish! I love Halloween so he would be more than welcome on my Halloween tree. I hope you reach your goal of 100 finishes! Good luck! Beth
Hi Becky,
Gasper is soooo cute! I love Halloween and would love to have Gasper as a permanent resident at our home. You just amaze me at how many projects you have done. Keep stitching! It keeps the rest of us stitchers motivated. Barbara
I love Halloween, and I would love a chance to win Casper! Beautiful job Becky!
Such a cute ornament! I love your resolve to stitch things up and finish them off. I'm so bad at doing that, but you're an inspiration to quit throwing those little finishes in a drawer!!
I LOVE him Becky!!
He would look adorable on my halloween tree :)
hugs
I should learn from you, BecKY...I have stitched CrowJackers but not finished... Shame on me...
Please enter me for this. Hugs!

Oh Becky - he is just too cute! I would love a chance to win him
Gasper wants to do some haunting here in Canada doesn't he? We'd love to have him. He's just too cute! I adore anything Halloween and would dearly love if you would add my name to the entries. Thanks!
Another cute finish! I've always liked Just Nan designs and this is no exception. I'd be honored to win have Gasper come and haunt my house.
PS: Becky, maybe you should give us time management hints :)
That's so cute,Becky!
Of course I would love to have him flying to my house. I am starting a halloween tree this year, and would love to have him hanging on it!
Have a great day! Love from California.
Love your Gasper Ghost. Very cute. I would be thrilled if he came to my house to live. He would be welcomed with open arms.
You are always so generous!
Hi Becky, this morning I enjoyed my morning coffee while looking at all of your cute finishes... I just want to decorate all over the house with cute halloween/fall items after looking at your work... I would love to add this cute one stitched by you to my decorations... keeping my fingers crossed... have a good day..
Hi Becky!
I just left a comment that was as
anonymous. I am still learning this blog stuff. I love, love your cute ghost. Love from California.
I'd love a chance to win this! What an adorable ghostie!
Thanks

This little guy is too cute for words! :)
Gasper is adorable. I would love to have him live with me.
I'm envious of your time mmanagement ability.
Hi, Becky!
Long time lurker, daily admirer (even when you're justifiably MIA, I still oogle), and occasional commenter.
I love your creativity.. you always help me to look at objects in new ways to determine whether I could use it as a finishing technique. I'm still not good at finishing my little fuppies, but I dream big.
I'd love the chance to win Gasper!
Gasper is adorable!! I sure hope he flies in my direction!! You are so kind Becky - thanks for the chance!
Another AMAZING piece stitched and finished!! I am in AWE of you!!!
Have a great day!
Judy
Is that ghostie riding the blackbird???OMG, be still my heart, that is tooooo cute!!
Great job, as always Becky!
Isn't it funny that some folks can't understand how you get all that stitchin' done? A lot of people say to me (and I don't finish nearly as much as you do)...oh if I only had the time. Well, hello, we all have the same amount of hours in a day...it's just how you chose to spend them, right?
I'm so glad you spend your *spare* time stitching :)
xoxo
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! That is just too adorable for words.
Ohhh, how cute! Gasper...love it. Please enter my name in your drawing! Thanks so much.
Becky, it's a joy to come here and see a new post and a new finish!!
One of the highpoints of my day!
Good luck to whomever wins!
Take care

Halloweeny designs are probably some of favourites (even though we are only just starting to celebrate it as a nation) - this is a design I don't have, so I would love to go into the draw if that's OK :D I'm just loving all your autumn/halloween finishes with pumpkins :D I've had a couple of small pumpkin finishes myself late, but I probably won't add them to the group album until I've finish-finished them :)
Gasper is adorable!
What a precious Halloween ornament! I would love for Gasper to come and stay with me!

Oh, my! Isn't Gasper just way too cute haunting merrily along on the wings of his blackbird! Way too cute, Hun! :) Lovely stitching and finishing as always, Dah'lin! You are so creative and your kindness and thoughtfulness knows no bounds! Please enter me in your wonderful wee ghostie giveaway! :)
Blessings and love in stitches...
Gasper is another beauty Becky, you are one very talented lady.
Your table looks stunning with each and every picture you take.
Perhas I should get your address and send you all my finished piece to 'finish' for me ;)
Hi ya Becky, swinging in to say, I've so enjoyed looking at all your most lovely creations you've stitched lately, the pumpkins - I adore all of them, probably because I look like one ;) LOL! Anyway..Gasper is so cute! You finished him perfectly as always! I have him to stitch up myself, so no need to include me in the drawing, but I wish all these others good luck!
Your home is immaculate, you can tell that from your pretty pictures :)
HUGS!!!
Hi, if you haven't picked a winner yet; I'd love to be added to the list. :) I LOVE your site and would be honored to have something you made displayed in my home.
Hugs, Sharlene
