A quick fly by post to blog a progress update on two of my current work-in-progress (aka: WIPs) projects. Above, project on page 28 from the Stitches from the Harvest book by Kathy Schmitz. Currently working on the small acorns, next the bird and the tiny stem with the round designs.
This one is the Count Your Blessings cross stitch design by Country Cottage Needleworks. The flock is done, next is filling in the grass and keep building the house ;-).
What a happy busy month October proved to be! Was able to reach my personal hour goal for volunteer work, which was truly enjoyable! We met some new friends, and got to know some -not so new friends- a bit better. The littles are doing great with their homeschool curriculums, playdates, and their personal spiritual goals as well. Didn't have much time to stitch in October, but I'm starting this month with a little bit of stitching.
Wasn't able to complete it (spent a couple of minutes reaping out and restitching the tail do to miscounting). It is not much, but I'm just warming up my needle ;-). Most of my house chores are done, just a quick errand tomorrow to grab a few groceries & toiletries, so perhaps once back I might be able to complete this sheep and the last one. I'm still not looking forward to stitching all that grass :-/.
Oh, have you seen/tried these Krispy Kreme Glazed Pumpkin Spice doughnuts? So Good!!! They are quite sweet do to the glazing, but the spice is just right in my opinion. If they were to cut down the glazing a bit... oh how dangerously yummy these could be! I've been good for quite some time, so I totally indulged with this bag. With a cup of unsweetened hot tea, or coffee, and loved ones to share them with, these may not cause to much damage.
