Lots of fun pieces. Lots a Halloween. Lots of Mill Hill Kits. I sure hope to make a lot of progress. We'll see. We all know I'll sure try.

I'm not doing the Holiday Calendar this time either. I just want to focus on the acrostic instead. 

The other challenge is the open calendar where you need to stitch a total of 24 hours in the month of October. I never seem to have a problem with that one at least haha. Even in August it was the only challenge I marked complete. 

I need to get busy. I have a lot of things I want to stitch as you can see. First I have to finish mom's pillow. Come on needles get it done and out of the way.

By the way I'm finally done posting for the day. Only 5 updates posted. Sorry to bother you guys but least there is a lot to look at and maybe motivate you. Let's get to stitching!
