October FFG

The 10th of the every month Rachel has come up with this fantastic kick in the bum. It's called the Fully Finished Gallery. I know I love stitching. I love finishing my stitching of course. But then I throw it into a drawer. Why? It deserves to be on display. To show off how much fun I had making that beautiful project after all. I've been trying of course but this FFG SAL is an excellent reason to have fun and blog about it after. Perfect.

Stop over here to see what others have finished this time too.

Now to my report...
I finished my September Lizzie Kate Flip It Stamp on the 15th. Then I got busy on my October monthly requirements...
I finished Mom's October pillow from Sand, Sea & Cross Stitch book on the 2nd.

Then the reason I'm posting today instead of yesterday. I put the finishing touches on my October Lizzie Kate Flip It Stamp last night...

I don't normally like scarecrows but this one is too cute. Now that my obligation pieces are finished I can get busy on my Halloween stitching I am so looking forward to.

No luck getting older pieces finished up. But we all now I've been busy busy. Plus here we go again. We are heading down to the cabin tonight and will be there till the 20th. Fred has the week off next week and Daryl and Damein my god son are coming to stay with us. Lots of fun planned. But I'm hoping to squeeze in stitching too. We'll see. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for continuing to take part, and for your lovely entries this month.
You may not be finishing older pieces but you are keeping up-to-date with your recent pieces (unlike your host!) so that's something you should be very proud of! Once winter arrives and your summer of socialising finishes there will be high expectations of you and your sewing machine!!! :)

Great work on the newly renamed KITB SAL. You're doing so well keeping up with your monthly series finishes.
