Getting Hectic

Things are getting hectic around here, I'm in the midst of packing up the house for a big move.  Amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in twenty plus years in the same location!

But I've managed a couple small finishes in the past week, I think the stitching is helping me stay somewhat sane LOL

First up is Pumpkin Farm by Blackbird Designs.

And second is Sampling Thanksgiving by Lizzie Kate.

I'm keeping with the Lizzie Kate theme and tonight I just started Winter ABC's. I'd started it last year but I'm not thrilled with the fabric choice, it just seems too green, so I'm restarting it on 28 ct Lambswool.

Uh Oh!

Here's the progress so far on the Lizzie Kate Mystery Sampler.  But ummmm, hate to admit this, but..............I feel a bad case of startitis coming on.  Argh!  I know I should concentrate on finishing this project but I feel the need to start something new.

Like Lizzie Kate's ABC Halloween.........or Christmas Rules..................or something from the Just Cross Stitch ornament issue.........or.......................

Big Red Barn

I'm a sucker for big red barns, especially when I'm taking fall pictures.  Came across this one unexpectedly and to make things even better it was just across the river from a small park called Convent Landing.  I can just imagine how great the photos would have looked a couple weeks ago when the fall foliage was at its peak but I think the photos turned out pretty well despite the almost bare trees.

Worked a little bit today on the Lizzie Kate Mystery Sampler, Part 1 is finished with the exception of one side of the border but I don't want to move it on the Q Snaps just yet so the border can wait until I get down a little further on Part 2.

One More Done!

Another seasonal project completed.  I know I should probably be concentrating on the Halloween stitching since its October already but couldn't resist whipping off this quick little stitch.  Here's 'November Word Play' by With Thy Needle and Thread.

Another finish!

What's that white stuff?

An icky sight greeted us first thing in the morning.  Turns out the weather reporters were right for a change and we really did get some snow.  Not impressed.  The older I get, the more I think it would be perfect if it snowed Christmas Eve and melted by Boxing Day lol.  The year I spent most of December in Palm Springs was great, didn't have to worry about snow for close to four weeks.  And surprisingly I didn't miss it at all.

Ewwwww, a little snow overnight.  And it was blowing around pretty good first thing in the morning too.  Thank goodness by mid afternoon it had all melted.  Its wayyyy too early in the season for s-n-o-w!
