Don't start all the things!

I overcame my overzealous-ness to start everything! Once I found the graph for Jenny Bean, I dedicated my time to her....

I enjoyed stitching the alphabet with all its different colors, fonts and sizes. I don't want to finish this quickly though as these bigger Halloween pieces are meant to be picked up now and then. However, I've already kitted another scary piece to stitch after Jenny is finished. Wait til you see that! 

My last post I mentioned looking for a Christmas ornament in a JCS ornament magazine. I decided to start a few that had fabric tucked into the pages next to the graph. The magazine is this one...

You can kind of see fabric hanging out of the pages there on the right. Last night's start was Kringle's Coal, designed by Plum Street Samplers...

On a leftover piece of WDW Beige. My progress is 3 hours of stitching! I've stitched this once before for an exchange gift. I would like to have 2 other ornaments from this issue finished before the end of this month because Halloween smalls beckon for September! While everyone or most everyone is doing September Samplers, I'm stitching Halloween😁

That is it for progress. 

Next is a chart I found while perusing the Blue Whale Designs on eBay. Take a look!

Look familiar?! It was in a lot of 3 of this designers charts. So I bought the lot for not very much. The same tall skinny Santa like the other that I finished. I want to stitch the whole sampler on the left and the small one at upper right. I'll stitch them in WDW Straw linen so the whites show up. It was a good find!

Be sure to click on pictures to see them better.

Parade time again. Continuing with the medium sizes...

Hard to see, wow! This is Moonlight by LHN, stitched with 1 silk floss from Belle Soie. The fabric might be natural maybe. A fun stitch.

A freebie by Hello from Liz Matthews, stitched on my favorite WDW Straw using Brethren Blue GAST floss. I believe you can find this on her website to download.

Three stars by La D Da found in a Christmas ornament JCS magazine. They're to be cut and mounted on mat board and then tied together with rusty bells. 

I wish the FFO bug would find me so I can sit and final finish everything!🤦🏻‍♀️

Next up is...

Christmas Basket by Threadwork Primitives. The fabric is a pretty silvery-pink color which is barely showing up in my picture. It's slated to become a pin pillow.

I love this! I love all my stitchings but this is a favorite. I think it's called Christmas Ride and it's from a Punchneedle and Primitive Stitching magazine. I used PTP Ale and substituted GAST Endive for the gray color in Christmas. The Endive disappeared into the fabric. That's Rudolph at the end with his requisite red nose!

And that's the end of this posts installment of my FO parade😊

Last weekend my daughter and I went to Phoenix to watch the Arizona Cardinals in training camp...

and boy was it hot! It was 107 when we walked in and 113 when we came out 2-2 1/5 hours later. It takes your breath away! Drinks and food were pretty expensive with Nachos being $7 and they were the kind that you could buy at a gas/convenience store for $3.99! Beer in a 12oz cup was $7!! It was fun though and the perfect temps inside the stadium.

I'm watching Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Mans Chest and eating pizza while listening to it thunder outside. 

I think I had more to talk about but my memory being what it is🤷🏻‍♀️I wish my doc would put me back on thyroid pills but she says my numbers are good. So I'll continue to have brain fog and be forgetful. My daughter is going to be 30 this coming February! How can that be?! Time sure flies doesn't it?!

And with that I'll say adieu. Hope you're all fine where you're at and that it's beginning to cool down. 

Keep on stitching!
