We dove deep in this one — literally!
Lesson Three of Halloween Cruise Mayhem is in the books, and we spent our Sunday stitching beneath the sea. This section is wild, colorful, and absolutely packed with personality. It’s what happens when spooky meets silly… underwater.
Let’s talk about the octopus.
He’s glorious.
He’s glowing.
He’s squeezing a witch so hard her eyes are popping out.
Yes, really.
This eight-armed wonder shimmers in a rainbow of beads, and here’s the really cool part — his arm color and texture shift above and below the waterline. It’s one of those moments where design, technique, and whimsy all collide, and I am so here for it.
The shark also changes above and below the water, adding a little realism to our not-so-realistic party cruise.
And then there’s the mummy on the jibboom (that’s the spar off the front of the ship, if you’re not up on your nautical terms). He’s ridiculous in the best way — padded, wrapped, and clearly hanging on for dear afterlife.
Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t be.
This canvas is huge, no question. But each lesson breaks things down into manageable, approachable chunks. The key is pacing — we’re building this ship piece by piece, ghost by ghost, stitch by stitch.
If you’ve been watching from the shore, there’s still time to come aboard. It’s spooky, it’s sparkly, it’s silly, and it’s FUN.
🗓️ Our next lesson is planned for November 9th — fingers crossed everything stays on schedule! I’m not pusing my talented ghost stitchers!
📦 Order now and you’ll receive everything from Lessons 1–3 as fast as we can or we can ship complete at the end of class. Your choice.
🧵 Catch up at your own pace and jump into the mayhem whenever you’re ready.
