Last week of September so last week of the Go Stitch Challenge. Let's see what I worked on...
Monday - Make up for 23rd Letter B - Boba Fett this time...
Time for a start on the last Hello Four Seasons Gnome. The Autumn one...
Saturday the last day. Day 30 Letter S. So I pulled out Stitcher's Code SAL again to work on that part 6...
I got the front down to missing a backstitch kind of border and then backstitch outline to put it together.
So I completed the Go Stitch Challenge completely. I was so happy to have it done and even in the month. I did have a few days I had to make up but I did the makeup quickly.
Sunday I worked on Season 2 from Hands on Design October piece...
Now for some Go Stitch stats. I worked on 17 different projects. The last week I got 2,235 stitches. Total for the month I got an amazing 10,563 stitches!! I had a blast. Of course I did nothing else at all well except for moving on the weekends which completely made up for the lazy weeks. The new Semi Sane challenge is just to keep track of stitches. We earn puzzle pieces for every 1,000 stitches. There is a team of 12 stitchers playing along. Right now we have a 20 piece puzzle. You get the puzzle piece when each 1,000 stitches is posted. Then you assemble the puzzle. If completed we can receive another puzzle to do. Yesterday was the first day and I was really busy but it seems fun. The team aspect is fun so far. Next month there is a solo one I seen. These are fun little pushes to stitch more. Like I need that haha. I'm so in love with my stitching.
Unfortunately though I fell off the wagon of being healthier. I've gained all the weight I lost back. It's very frustrating but I've been letting myself be stressed with the emptying of the house. So that's done now. I'm ready to get back on track. Even though the exercising takes away from my endless hours of stitching. I want to be around to stitch for as long as possible. So back active I go. I really have to focus on eating better so I'm definitely going to work on that better. Plus better house keeping haha. My mom never had good house cleaning skills. We have promised each other we are never living like we did so I've decided to start now with better cleaning skills. We bought an awesome new sweeper. I am going to do some things I've not done like clean the windows. Found out how easy it is to pop the screens out. So tomorrow I have a new skill to learn. It's sad I was just never taught that stuff. Never a priority.
Fred put up 4 shelves my Grandpa made. I LOVE them. I got out all the Halloween decorations and excited sorted through them...
Okay I need to get off this computer. Thanks for reading my crazy updates haha. I love this blog. I love my readers. I love life. So have a great week. Love yourself. Smile. Find happiness. I have and am!

Hi Katie: Fun post Jeremiah looks so happy with your fall decorating, you did an amazing job, I love seeing all the pumpkins in your photos.
I have been losing because of Mikes health I am sure I will gain it back.
Mike made me ceiling shelfs like your many years ago I love them.
Your fingers have been busy with needle and thread, love all your designs in work.

I just LOVE that Eye! I can't believe you are on the last Gnome already, it certainly doesn't seem like it has been that long. Beer Dragon looks great but I love the Stitcher's Code.
Congrats on getting thru the Go Stitch challenge. Goodness gracious those stats for the challenge are amazing!! Good luck on the next challenge :)
Don't be upset with yourself about your weight, you have been under quite a bit of stress lately. Now that life is falling in place again you will be able to start concentrating on you again. The shelves look great up near the ceiling. I had a friend who's husband made her some that went all the way around her kitchen and she filled them with family photos.
Yay for Boba Fett, another fun one to stitch. I'd have to stitch one for each Gman, not gonna happen!
And you know how I feel about anything dragon, keep on stitchin'.
I'm so glad you're having fun puzzling, that's sure to keep you on track.
The shelves look great, a perfect addition to your place and even better with your decorations.
