It's time for October's Dollar Store Design Squad challenge and this month we all were challenged to create a fall or halloween theme craft with supplies from the dollar store.
My entry this month involves cross stitch and embroidery, of course!

Gift Idea for Embroidery & Cross Stitch Lovers
Have a friend or family member that really loves fiber arts, or more specifically embroidery and cross stitch? Well, today I have the ultimate gift guide for those people.
These are all products I use and recommend, in various price points. Almost all these items are available on Amazon, which makes shopping a breeze.
Harry Potter Icons Tote Bag (SVG file)
Recently my daughter was invited to a Harry Potter themed sleep over birthday and wanted a fun bag to bring her stuff. I’ve been working on a cross stitch design featuring all the Harry Potter icons and knew it would be easy to convert the original file into an SVG and that is exactly what I did!
I love how it turned out, and any individual element would be cute, but combined into a heart is perfection.
How to Apply HTV to Hats and Visors with the Cricut EasyPress Mini
I've been making hats and visors using my Cricut Maker and HTV (heat transfer vinyl) for a while now and it has always been a tedious process. The small curved surface makes it impossible to use a traditional heat press, or even my full sized EasyPress and even my iron is too cumbersome with hot spots and a relatively large hot surface area.
Distressed Dollar Store Pumpkins with a Crackle Finish
Day 3 of Dollar Store Pumpkin Week! We’ve had rope and glitter and today is a simple distressed finish. The same finish I’ve shared before. Crackled with wood glue and then distressed with a glaze.
The drastic change for this project is really clear when you put the before and after side by side:
Easy No Sew Knit Sweater Pumpkins
This is a project I’ve seen all over Pinterest and I finally had to throw my hat in the ring and try making my own. I have actually been holding on to the top half of this sweater for almost a year now.
I used the bottom half to make this pillow but I knew I could do something fun with the sleeves. And that is exactly what I did.10 Easy Mason Jar Projects
Unless you have been living under a rock, you have probably seen the trend of MASON JARS all over the place. These staples of yesteryear are no longer relegated to pantry shelves and country decor. Mason jars have been transformed to fit into the popular farmhouse and shabby chic decor style that seems to be everywhere these days.
15 Modern Fall Cross Stitch Patterns
I know cross stitchers never really need an excuse to find new patterns, but IF they did, than the beautiful changes of seasons would be the perfect one! With fall right on the horizon, pumpkin spice lattes are showing up everywhere and I’m feeling really excited about sweater and get-to-skip-shaving-my-legs season!
So what better way to celebrate than gathering up 15 beautiful fall inspired cross stitch pieces. None of these are the traditional farmhouse scene with pumpkins and leaves, but are more modern takes on the Autumn season. Grab your embroidery hoop and some Aida and get started on one of them right now!
