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!

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!
