Happiness is a new bottle of Aleene's glue!

Hello! It's been awhile. Hope your weather is fine where you're at. It's been hot but no humidity so I'll take it. Born and raised Arizonan who is not used to a lot of humidity! I am looking forward to September though. It has been a weird weather year that's for sure.

Before my iPad goes dead, let's go!

I have a few FFO's, a finish, some new stash, and plans.

First up is my exchange finish. My partner likes bees so I stitched this up for her..

This is Land of Milk and Honey by Summerhouse Stitcheworks on 36ct PTP wren.

See the bee in the corner? I don't know what it is about this pattern but it reminds me of

California! I may be a native Arizonan but I was raised in Los Angeles up until age 9

until parents decided to get the heck out and move here. My mom was raised in this area.

I love this design and as far as I know, I'll mount it on a box if I can find one that will

fit.

FFO's-

Here is a freebie by Hands on Design..

My first try at a yoyo there in the corner. 

Next is an Erica Michael design. I've had this quite awhile. It's a door hanger..

A flat ornament trimmed with Carol's cording. I think I'll let more loose strands

out of my tassel at the bottom. A perfect hanger for this winter. My cats would

ruin it so I'll hang it inside my bedroom door.

Here is my next FFO, the Lydia Broome sampler by Pineberry, I think..

Another long time finish finally FFO'd. I was going to make this into a needle book but

changed my mind after watching Sara/1 over 2 flosstube. She finished this into a 

plain pillow and liked how it looks. Here's the back..

This is upholstery fabric from a swatch. Matches the floss colors perfectly.

I like the simplicity of my finish. What I didn't like was the smell of the

fabric when I ironed it but it went away.

So I mentioned a couple charts from Willow Hill Samplings that I was waiting on..

they finally arrived a couple days ago..

Busy Bee Sampler and the Humpty Dumpty sampler. The one on the left was 

supposed to be stitched for my exchange partner but it came too late. Glad I had

something else to stitch for her.

After I finished Milk and Honey, I started my Halloween stitching! Yep. Here's 

a Maynia start that is almost done..Witchy Kitty..

I have a moon up near EA Poe to stitch,  grass under the cauldron, and 

another bat to stitch. I put together Halloween WIPs and new starts to stitch. 

I'll stitch to the middle of October if I don't get bored first! By the way, 

that floss Lemon and Lime is my favorite. It's so pretty and is 

perfect for the bubbling cauldron.

That's it folks! If you could throw up a prayer or two or good wishes for me. I

start a new job on Monday and I'm so nervous! I don't do change well but this is

a good change meaning financial stability but I'm still nervous! 

Take care and happy stitching!
