Blogtoberfest Day 10 and More Pumpkins

Today was a Happy Day in Gilbert. The mailman left a parcel in the box from Gillie.

It was a wonderful gift stitched so beautifully along with a pretty butterfly card, some Thread Drops and a skein of Weeks Dye Works Harvest.

She didn't mention who the designer was, but I knew immediately that it was LHN's Pumpkins cause I was thinking about stitching one for myself. I am really into pumpkins this year. Thanks so much Gillie, you chose the perfect design to stitch for me. It is my first Little House Needlework.

Blogtoberfest day 6

There is not much going on today. Me and Abbey just hanging out. Took this picture of her, she just woke up from her cat nap.

I did a little stitching today on the Needle Book exchange for Tiny Treasures Too. I really need to get a head start as it has quite a ways to travel. I am hoping I like the way it will look, the colors are kind of strange.

I have been searching and looking at the different tutorials for Needle Books. I have never actually finished one and am kind of debating on which way to go. Guess I will stitch the design first and then go from there.

I finished two of the Glory Bee Trios but got to feeling a little bad and I am going to put off doing the third as I was sure I would mess up if I kept going.

I took pics but don't like the way they turned out. The fabric I stitched them on is a dark khaki and the colors were washed out. Guess I will try again before I post pictures. Abbey and I are having a bad hair day, lol.

Tomorrow is another day.

Blogtoberfest Day 5

Five days of October have passed by and two days of my week off from work.

I am not planning on going anywhere, just resting and enjoying some free time.

It has been raining since last evening and I really wanted to get out in the back yard and do some major work. It has been sorely neglected. Just got the lawn mower from the repair shop and DS and I did the front yard Friday. One good thing we won't have to water the lawn. lol.

Take One My Pretty

When I saw this Tin Topper I just knew I had to stitch one. It is by Plum Street Samplers. It is my first Tin Topper and my first time stitching on 40 ct. I really like it, I have fallen in love.

I did a real simple finish.I used a green Altoid tin so I there was no painting involved. I glued ribbon around the tin and used sticky black felt for the bottom. Oh yes, there are a lot of firsts on this. I actually made the twisted cord though I think it would have been better to use more than two strands of floss.

Everyone have a happy stitching day,

Blogtoberfest Day 3

Okay I have committed myself to the Blogtoberfest going on here .

Hope I can keep up with the pace. I am the 252nd person to join in.
There are going to be a lot of great giveaways etc, going on throughout the month so be sure to check out the link above and join in the fun.

To start off the month, I have decided on a new look (once again) but I wanted something dark for Halloween. There is no way I can keep one background for each changing season. lol.



Back at the end of June I mailed a Just Nan Exchange to Edit in Spain and it never did arrive.
I stitched a replacement and this time Edit received it. I finished it into an ornament.
Don't know what happened to the first one? Maybe it will show up one day.
