Water, Sand and Snow

Hi all! Hope you're all doing fine. I came back about an hour ago from watching the Downton Abbey movie with my daughter. I enticed her with a large popcorn! I don't like going to the movies by myself! I liked it. I won't mention any parts of the movie but I was happy to see a couple questions answered and I teared up over 1 scene. Hope that means another movie further in the future for the characters.

I have progress to show, new plans (I always have new plans!), a finish/FFO, etc.

I have reached water!

Yep, that little bit of blue directly to the right of the dog on the sled is water and I'm a 

happy camper. Back story: After finishing and FFOing my last Halloween

project, I picked up Winter At Beacon House, a long time WIP. Here's the before..

The fabric is lakeside Winter Sky and shows correctly in the pic right above. I've 

extended the alphabet, filled in the missing stitches near the girls, started on the

lighthouse, and filled in the snow amongst the alphabet. The nice thing about this

design is I can jump around when I get tired of stitching the sand and snow. I am 

giving it a break though because I am now in a Christmas stitching mood!

Here's my last Halloween finish..

Ritual and Spell from the 2016 JCS Halloween issue. I made a few changes- left

off the skull vine on the bottom, and stitched my own spider web in the upper

right corner. I used my last piece of fusible web on this so I haven't finished my

other Halloween finishes.

At first, I was going to keep stitching on Beacon House but after looking at all

the new Christmas charts on the 123stitch, I've kitted up 3 projects...

I almost had all the called for flosses, with one sub. It's going on a 36ct fabric, 

mystery.

An oldie but goodie. I've made this once before. And..

Christmas Scooter. I'm using a different fabric than called for but it'll look great. 

Starting tonight, I'm stitching this one^. 

I also stashed, lol..

Scored on a stash selling FB group.

That is it. I joined Jo's Halloween blog hop at the Serendipitous

Stitcher blog so I'll be back on Halloween for that.

An upcoming plan is to stitch a Christmas pattern by Romina Petrucci,

otherwise known as Romy's Fibers, for a contest. It'll be an ornament 

I think. Sounds like fun!

Job is going well but Mr. Vertigo has made a return, unfortunately, and I missed a day at

work for that. He's been gone for the entire year and why he's returned

has me scratching my head. I try to pinpoint differences that may set it off and when it 

disappears but can't. I just have to deal with it.

Take care! See you on Halloween!

Just a funny picture of a hitchhiking bug on my windshield! Looks

like its lifting that little car..
