Post it is! I'm just not very title creative tonight! 

Does anyone here like football? I like 3 teams-Arizona Cardinals, the 49ers, and Steelers. Been a Steeler fan since I was 12 and 49ers from the Montana/Young years. I'm so happy to have a fave team in the big show tomorrow! For sentimental reasons, it would be nice to see the Chiefs get the trophy.

Well...I'm starting to feel the bday SAL excitement beginning to wane. Yep. When it comes to stitching, I don't stick with a plan very long. I did stay with my SAL for a month though! I've been taking pictures of my WIPs for the parade and thinking I'd like to get to some WIP stitching. We'll see what happens. 

Alright, enough talking! Here's my next new start..

By The Little Stitcher. She has a couple more designs in this Legends For Halloween series.

I have one more plus more of her designs to stitch. Just like SubRosa. They hang around in 

my PDF file on my iPad, out of sight out of mind. 

That was the last of my SAL stitching!

I went back to some exchange stitching though..

Oops, I just noticed I'm not done! Haha. Those corners at the top have white stitching

with the red. I might leave it as is since it doesn't look bad without. It's a 

pincushion and it was supposed to have more rows at the bottom but I 

decided to stop there. Didn't want it too big. Isn't it cute? Scissors, buttons, a 

needle and spool. I had to satin stitch the spool.

I thought I would show some of my exchange gifts that I've received

throughout the years..

Mostly Halloween! The two pincushions in opposite corners and

Merry Yule are from the Dixiesamplar's exchange where we just exchange 

a handmade item with a card. The blue gray Halloween pillow right 

above was from an exchange hosted by Lainey from Scotland who 

used to blog.The remaining Halloween gifts are with Dixiesamplar 

also, four years worth. 

My WIP parade begins! Here are two of my oldest WIPs, both on aida..

There's a story behind this one. To make a long story short, I tracked

down another kit on eBay after losing the floss and graph. I'm pretty sure

I started this more than 10 years ago, maybe longer. There was my divorce

and my father's death to muddy up my memories. Anyway, the kit

I bought had slightly different floss, like someone kitted it up

with colors as close as they could! I did a better job of matching

floss with the colors on the piece. 

Next up..

Newsflash! I have misplaced the project! I have all the floss but

missing the most important piece! I have half of the dress in that bottom 

picture stitched. Lots of back stitch. I started this one a long time ago too.

I don't mention it too much but I'm an American Indian and this pattern 

I just had to stitch!

I think that's it. The WIP parade will continue! What am I stitching next? 

I'll look into my SAL bag and start an ornament maybe. I'm not quite

ready to jump the boat on my SAL just yet. 

Take care! Welcome to some recent new followers also. I hope you

enjoy it here. Enjoy the football game and/or the commercials. I was invited to a party

at my daughter's but I can't sit there and stitch while watching the game!
