Finishes and Plans

Greetings from a blustery central Arizona! Finally, the temps have gone down around here. Phoenix and the deserts are still toasty though. For the last couple of weeks I have changed my cotton sheets to fleece, given up my shorts at bedtime for sweat pants, and the fan is off! I'm in the process of decorating for Halloween. I feel the holidays go by so fast so I'm decorating early.

I'm not sure how my phone will act but I have a lot to show and talk about. Let's get going!

I have 3 finishes from September, yay! First up is Mighty Acorn by BBD..

Love it, especially the house and it's mustard color! I stitched my initials there at the right bottom. Eventually I'll get this framed along with everything else that is too big to be turned into a pin pillow, lol. I think the fabric is 36ct antique lace by Seraphim.

Next is Wicked Night by The Primitive Hare...

I don't remember the fabric but it's 40ct. It didn't shrink much but I'll make it into a pillow. It would be a nice easel-type finish but I don't know how to make one. 

And last but not least is All Hallows Night..

From the 2020 JCS Halloween issue. I had my doubts about this one. It's looking kind of big, bigger than an ornament. It's 6.5" x 4 3/8" on a mystery linen. But I love it now! It's pretty cute.

I also have progress on 2 items...Clementine..

By Racquel Blasco. Stitching that border is no joke but luckily as you can see on the model, that's it. It's also going to be a big piece when I'm done. She deserves to be finished.

Moonlight is next...

By LHN. I worked on this the entire last week. I've put it down for now but will pick it up throughout October so I can have a finish which is self explanatory down below! Haha!

The last 2 posts I've tried to show these 2 things but my phone says it's running out of storage but here goes anyway! The last of the wanna stitch is this cutie..

So cute. It's called Hello Pumpkin and it's by Salt and Pepper Stitching on Etsy. This link might work...www.Emilycall.Etsy.com. It's hard to read the PDF I have. I would use an overdyed floss in Orange for that or how about black floss?! 

So most would know I don't collect scissors. That might be ending!

A recent purchase is the cute kitty scissors. I already had the two gold colored scissors.

I bought these at the Victorian Rose shop.

Stitching for October is all Halloween so if you are not crazy about Halloween I would beware!

I tweaked my list for the 2 SALs I'm following and Jack's Bash by PSS will be on the snaps but I can't find a picture of it. 

I'm also starting 2 new Halloween pieces...

By WTN&T, it's been kitted up for a couple or 3 years, time to stitch it!

And...

I love her cat patterns. This big cat afraid of the spider! I think my fabric is Carrot by WDW.

My phone is behaving itself so let's go on.

Stitch from Stash was deadly in September. Lol! I spent almost $54 on patterns and a fabric. I mean, it's almost Halloween and I've got the Obsessive Halloween Disorder!

Here's my new stash!

The new Kathy Barrick and Ink Circles with fabric. I couldn't upload a picture but it's 2 HOD White Christmas patterns. They're super pretty.

As I knew it would, phone says I'm running out of memory. So I better get. I'm on my way to the local urgent care. I got a work injury end of August. I cut the skin between my ring finger and middle finger and my finger went dead, no feeling. One month later, half of my finger is still numb. I may have nerve damage. Today I'll find out if surgery is in the cards. Wish me luck!!

Take care, we'll see you soon!
