Hello September, half over!

Hi all! I am back to show progress, a finish from earlier this year, and two new charts. I wish I could figure out how to do new paragraps, otherwise my sentences are just run ons! Bear with me, I'll figure it out sooner or later! Starting with progress, I put in some more stitches onto Yule..

Last post I mentioned running out of the Brown Bear floss; it's getting there! Once I get back to Yule and stitch, I'll know better. All that's left to do is the whole fireplace. After Yule I picked up a subRosa design, a WIP, and stitched more border. I was stitching at night. The next morning, I looked at it and the border was two different colors of white! Because I stitched at night, I couldn't tell the difference! It's in time out right now. After that fiasco, I drew a WIP out of the basket and lo and behold, look what I picked..

Christmas Garden. It was about time I picked a big WIP! This poor thing has not seen the light of day since the end of December last year. I've added quite a bit since Friday, two days ago. I am getting so close to the end. I ironed it for this picture and it's going to be a biggie. I'm going to have to go back through it all and tighten up stitches and add initials of family. A WIP for 7 years, it's time to be done and I think I can. That big tall flower in the middle is above the space for the words Christmas Garden. Yep. So keep tuning in because I want to keep stitching on it through this month.

My mystery SAL When Witches go Riding. I finished the whole first part. There's back stitching in this section but I'll wait until the end to stitch those in. I have the 2nd and 3rd parts with the final part yet to come. I stashed also..

I'm not planning any new starts with these but I do have fabric for the Blueberry sampler. I think it calls for silks so it'll be next year. The rest of this year is dedicated to WIPs. Any finishes I get will go a long way in easing the guilt of my b-day SAL coming up in January. It'll be eye candy for days! I'm not sure some of you saw a finish I had the earlier part of this year.

On a Dixiesamplar fabric, 36ct Mountain Stream. Very light gray. Love it! Okey doke, that'll be it. I was under the weather for a couple weeks. Congestion, runny nostril, stuffed nose, crazy. I thought oh no, is this Covid again?! My doctor assured me that I should still have antibodies in my system from Covid and that I couldn't possibly catch it again. A 63 year old cousin of mine has it and is having a rough time. I have fully recovered my taste and smell again so I'm a happy camper! I hope youre all staying safe and healthy! Take care and see you soon:)
