As we head into October, the weather is getting wetter and colder, although up to now I’ve resisted turning on the heating. That to me says we're getting into the darker and what seems like longer months of the year and I’m not ready for that just yet!
Mind you I shouldn’t complain, when I think
about all the poor people in the states who are having to cope with the terrible
destruction caused by hurricane Helene .
I can’t begin to imagine how you face and cope with something
like that and I know it’s no consolation, but material things
can be replaced in time, you can’t replace you, so stay safe and well. I’ve already seen on social media, groups
offering to help replace ‘stitchy things’ for those that may have lost
everything, proving once again that our on-line community have big hearts and
are willing to help in any way they can…….angels, every one of them!
September was a good month for me stitching wise, as I had three new starts and 4 finishes, one of which got me ahead of the game because it was Christmas ornament for Octobers 12 in 24 challenge with Carol from Stitching Dream Blogspot
(sorry I've not ironed anything this morning)
This was first time I’ve stitched one of Misty’s designs from Luminous Fiber Arts and it was the cute freebie she gave us at the Jingle Ball last year, called 'Joy'.
I stitch it on a scrap
piece of 36ct ‘Mill Stone’ linen from Legacy
Fiber Artz and used left over thread from my 2022 Holiday Countdown from
Evertote in the colour ‘On Holiday’
I also made some great progress on my birthday start, the ‘Newcastle Bouquet Biscornu’ from Teresa Kogut. This is where it was the last time you saw it.
I finished the top panel and have made a start to bottom.
Of course, now we are into a new month I had to have a new start for October and decided to go with ‘When I Think of Autumn’ from Puntini Puntini.
I’ve had the chart, buttons and pins tucked away for some time, so yesterday I got it out and made a good start on it, although I’ve just noticed that my ‘M’ is one row short, so I’ll have to do a little bit of frogging the next time I pick it up.
Happy Stitching!
