Blogtoberfest Day 12

Today is the 12th day of Blogtoberfest and it certainly was a rainy one.
It was my first day back at work after 8 days of truly enjoying myself at home, stitching, reading and being just plain lazy.

I planned on going to get the Crescent Color Tomatilla that I needed for Pumpkin Time. I had second thoughts about going in the rain, but I left for work early and stopped by to get it. I can't wait til tomorrow so I can stitch on the pumpkin.

I carried the Needle Book with me and finished it on my lunch break. Now all I need to do is get the sewing machine out and put it together. There will be no more stitching tonight, I am nodding off as I sit here.

When I visited Gaynor's Blog this morning, I saw this and fell totally in love. (sigh)

Tomorrow I should have an update on Pumpkin Time. I am of to visit the Sandman.

Blogtoberfest Day 8

Well, my dear friends, another day has passed by and I still haven't accomplished much of what I had planned to do this week.

Yesterdays event in the back 40 kind of put a damper on continuing anything
within a mile radius. Several times today I opened the back door and looked out tosee if I could spot the evil thing. I don't really think he is around close any more.
The whole yard reeks of moth balls

I have a good start on the Needle Book for Tiny Treasures Too and was searching for a button in my collection and found the perfect one. It really was a surprise when I found it. Several years ago I was entering in swaps and I found a zip lock bag with some yellow floss that someone had sent me . Lo and Behold there was the BUTTON nestled amongst the floss. Wow I was doing a happy dance. It is Perfect.

I purchased my copy of the JCS 2009 Ornament magazine. Not sure what I will be stitching from it, but I was looking at the finishing instructions.That seems to be my biggest issue now a days.
