Pumpkins 4-Sale -- small progress

I worked on Pumpkins 4-Sale for a few hours this evening.  Not only did I make some progress, but I charted my own special addition to the design -- a small tribute to my late sister, Beth.  I'll stitch that into the piece tomorrow.

Would you believe I had NO skeins of Black from any fiber company?  Mike had to make a quick run to Jo Ann's for me.  First time I've never had any DMC 310 since I started stitching 20+ years ago.

My football hopes for UGA were dashed by LSU this afternoon.  However, the Crimson Tide is rolling!  My Milwaukee Brewers today as well.  *sigh*  

I wish you all a very peaceful, calm, blessed evening.  Stay safe and Happy Stitching!

HAPPY DANCING!

October Cottage / October Calendar Girl is finished!!!  I am Happy Dancing!

I'll try to get a better photo later.  I may add one more line of grass under my girl's feet.  But I'm happy with it.  I used colours that *I* like and that are colours found on a Savannah October's day.

Tomorrow,  I will begin work on Pumpkins 4-Sale!

October Calendar Girl: Update

I've been working on LHN's October Calendar Girl for a few hours. 

I like the few changes I made.  I shortened her hair because mine is short.  Trying to figure out a way to give her some strands of silver and a few curls.

I made her dress blue as I'm not a grey dress kinda gal.

I've gotten a bit of push-back on my colour changes and choices.  But I'm stitching this for me and I like it.

I don't mind constructive criticism -- but not outright complaints. 

I am beginning to think I MAY have this project completed by September 1st.  I hope so as I can't wait to begin Pumpkins 4-Sale!

HAPPY STITCHING!

Birthday Giveaway is... ON!

I will be hosting a Happy Birthday to Me giveaway beginning on October 1st and ending on October 10th.  (My birthday is actually at the end of the month).

Three Winners: (USA only at this time). Each winner will receive an October Themed Chart, Scissors, Fob, and a few other goodies.

I'm so excited!

Happy Stitching!

HAPPY DANCING -- October Cottage is done!

I took the last stitch in October Cottage about 20 minutes ago!

Now, to add October Girl next to it!

I so loved stitching this piece.  I had not stitched in so long, I thought perhaps I would never complete another project.

I am on a stitcher's high right now!

Don't forget to leave me a comment and tell me if you think I should offer a Birthday Giveaway!

Have a lovely evening and a great week.

Stay safe, Happy Stitching!

PROGRESS: October Cottage August 16th.

I've been stitching in spurts the last week,  but made good progress.  I'm almost finished with the cottage, just pumpkins, grass, and bottom border to go.

The above was my progress as of August 14th.

This is my progress as of 11:00 p.m. August 15th.

I changed the colours on the cottage and I made the door look like one we once had. I haven't decided if I'm going to fill in the windows of the cottage yet.

Can you believe it's Mid-August? Where has the summer gone? I've only been in the pool four times.  It rained the entire month of July (in the afternoon).

I am looking forward to September.  Now, if I could only convince our Governor and the President to abolish Daylight Saving Time!!!

Happy Stitching Y'all!
