October Cottage and other nifty things!

July seemed to drag on and on.  I'm glad it's over.  August means that school is starting and Fall comes closer.  

It's a bittersweet time.  I lost my beloved maternal grandparents (they adopted me when I was a wee lass) on the 3rd (1994) and 10th (1992) -- this is a difficult seven days.

However, Happy Husband and youngest daughter were born on the 27th and 29th.  

I cope. Usually.

Happy Husband brought this sweet little stitching buddy home to me in a new coffee mug!

Isn't he adorable?  I'm calling him Buddy. Very original, dontcha think?

October Cottage:

Using my own colourway.  Mostly ThreadworX and a few flosses from Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe

I am so enjoying this project.  I think I'll also stitch up August and December for my daughters birthdays.

I had forgotten how much stitching comforts me... how it relaxes me.  It's almost like the feeling of peace and contentment I have when I hold my Rosary and pray.

I am so grateful to the Good Lord for giving me the patience and ability to stitch again.  I am so blessed.

Happy Stitching, Ya'll!
