A finish, an FFO, and more

Hi all! Thanks again for following me to this new location.

I have a new start, a finish and an FFO, so let's go. First I thought I would respond to a few comments:

Kay, I hope your son is recovering well. It's such a scary thing!

Jo, with your skills I'm sure that your envelope with parts of Halloween Town on it is just gorgeous!

Old Dame Holly Rose, unfortunately there is no follow button here but please follow on my old blog. I still use it to announce new posts here.

Alright! A new start..Town of Halloween..

I coffee dyed my fabric but it's still not dyed enough. After I'm finished, I'll dip it some more! I'm enjoying this one, even with all the black.

And surprise surprise, I have an FFO!
Fall Owl by Casey Buonaugurio, in the 2011 Sept/Oct JCS issue. I stitched this last year I think. I left off the year that was on either side of the owl. The backing is a dark orange wool. I had a few others to FFO but this was it for today.

I also finished Ghost..
The white is GAST Picket Fence. I just need to find a cube to mount this on.

Well went a little crazy acquiring stash!
Christmas ornaments. They are gorgeous!
I bought all this throughout July and August and just barely received it all just last week. It was a painful wait but now that it's all here, I can't wait to start the Gathering Berries piece. It's a beauty!

Next time I'll show the other stash I bought.

It's finally cooled down a little here. Today the temp is 80 and not the 88 or 89 that it seemed to be for a long time. We are still seeing smoke from the west coast but not as bad.

That's it folks! I hope you're all keeping healthy and safe. I don't think this covid is going anytime soon.

Take care!

    Thanks Robin and Carolyn! I'm glad you came by. I tried to post on the old blog but my iPad will no longer support blogger! I have to download Chrome and my iPad just won't! Crazy. After all, it's 2020!

    Just returned from CA and visiting my baby grandson so I'm finally able to sit down and catch up on my favorite blogs, Shelly! Your owl is darling! And what nice stash--it really is frustrating to wait so long for our purchases to arrive. I know a lot of places sell pdf's, but I still like having a nicely printed hardcopy in my hand. Anyway--enjoy your weekend! Hope it includes some stitching time ♥

      Hi Carol. Aww, how nice to see your grandson! Grandma Carol! I like the hard copies too but I'm not averse to pdf's. Have a great week!

Maynia update, parade

Hi all! Hope you're doing well and staying healthy. I totally forgot to post the rest of my WIP parade! So today I'll show more WIPs and my stitching for Stitchmaynia. Let's go! First up is Kringles by LHN... I stitched to the 17th and stopped. The pattern has 3 dormer windows, I've stitched just the 1. The roof is kicking my butt! The white fence-like stitching is like a widow's walk. I would get tired of doing the roof and would stitch the windows, etc. I will stitch on this during the WIP challenge coming up Summer Solstice. The next project is Midnight Ride.. The fabric is more dk blue gray. I stitched from the center where the bat is up to the witch because I prefer starting at the top. You would think I would have more stitched in 14 days but I found I could only stitch during weekends. Parade time! This bunch of WIPs are from my bday SAL and they haven't been touched since then. In no particular order.. lol This one I'm not too happy with. I may shelv...

New blog!

Hi all! Well, I have started this new blog since I couldn't find a way to sign in to the other one. It's a huge mess because the email I used to sign up is not used any more and the log in info is lost. So I'm going to see how this goes using my phone. I don't see how I'll be able to upload pictures either but maybe..oh I see how to load pics now! Well, here we go!  I had a new start last month, by PSS  It's a little blurry because I took the picture from off my iPad. I'll have to start taking pictures with my cell. Anyway I am starting to build the house. Next up is progress on Frosty Forest.. I finished that 4th block with the greenish house and just kept going! The border of the Frosty Forest block was mind numbing but once I got the pattern in my head, it went fast. I have folded it up and put away to stitch on next year. So my Harvest Halloween exchange partner received my package to her.. I bought her a Lucy Beam/Becky Noland project bag and some trims...

Happy New Year!

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas however you had it in this time of covid. I spent mine with my daughter and her boyfriend. We ate breakfast burritos, buffalo chicken dip, chocolate, and cookies! It was perfect! Then my 1 brother from Phoenix drove up to join us. Here we are in a new year full of Hope. I am hoping that we can get a handle on covid, get the election quandary figured out but mostly get back to living again without masks and hand sanitizer. My family are doing well and staying healthy. This post is going to be about my usual yearly update, the winner of the nice leftovers from my giveaway, and plans for this year. Let's go! The winner of the new year's eve giveaway is Jackie! Congrats Jackie! See below what I'll be sending you. I'm pretty sure you are a high count fabric stitcher. You are in a few FB groups that I'm in.  A BBD project bag that I've had for a long time, bagged up and was never used. A cute squirrel needle minde...
