Oct 14th Monday Update - Finish to Report

 Hello readers from a finally cold Indiana. We might get our first freeze this week. Cold and wonderful outside. Still need lots and lots of rain though. So let's see what I stitched last week and as the title says What I finished?!

Every day this week I got my 100 a day on Halloween Sampler by Les Petites Croix De Lucie (I have to cut and paste that every single time haha). Wednesday I snuck in 1 extra stitch but that's okay still my 100  a day. So 701 added haha.


Monday and Tuesday I worked on Owe Them All by Erica Michaels. Monday I added 313 tent stitches. Tuesday I added 305 tent stitches. That was the final stitches!!!

Finish #27 October 8th
Owe Them All
by Erica Michaels
Fabric 40ct Silk Gauze
Threads Suggested Weeks Dye Works
Started Aug 5th. Took 10 Days.
Total 3,387 Stitches.

I actually took this one to be framed at my LNS in Fort Wayne because it deserves to be displayed with the justice it deserves. The gentleman was so happy to frame it. He's never saw a silk gauze piece in person. We picked a dark blue mat and a beautiful dark red frame. Can't wait to have it back.

Wednesday I spun my Tiny Decisions app for my next acrostic letter for the month and got I from Hayride which was Irish Blessing from Herrschners I added 301 and finished the words...

Thursday's spin next up was A from Hayride and that is Autumn Line Up by The Trilogy...

Thursday I added 208 and Friday I kept it out and added 468 so 676 total...

Saturday I spun Letter H for Halloween Quaker by Primrose Cottage. I added 344 Saturday and 200 Sunday for 544 total...

So October so far I've stitched 5,639 stitches. Having a blast on my lovely projects.

Saturday I went up to my local LNS. Took Owe Them All and the Seasonal Gnomes from Soda Stitch that I finished last year to get framed. I will get the gnomes on a frame that I can just switch out the seasons into one frame. I haven't took any projects to get framed in years so it was nice to treat some special again. I also found a pattern I couldn't live without...

Halloween Chez Les Gnomes by Jardin Prive. It started with me saying to my "friends" tell me I don't need that project over there. Then my one "friend" showed me the fabric to stitch it on was in stock so I of course needed it. Then she so nicely pointed out another one on the back...

OMG too cute. When I went online to see it I noticed a few others. What a jerk my friends are haha. Just such cute patterns though!!! I've never stitched a Jardin Prive so great another rabbit hole to go down.

After the stitching time we started working on all the getting ready for winter projects. The shower house is finally done just in time for the first freeze. Sunday we got our deck all closed in for winter. I will get some pictures soon to share. We finished at dark last night and didn't get to clean up properly.

Jeremiah is off on an adventure tonight. Dad and Bev want to take him gambling again tomorrow haha. So he is going over to their house to spend the night so he be ready to leave in the morning. He is looking forward to it. I am worried about Bev. She was slurring her words a lot Saturday and very sleepy Sunday but they want to do some stuff and boy I don't blame them at all. Just definitely worried about her.

Plans. Stitch haha. Friday we leave to go up to Detroit Michigan area for my friend's wedding. I have my script wrote up and we have our outfits. I'm nervous and yet honored and honestly just want it over with haha. But at least we get a nice road trip and hotel stay for the weekend. I am going to take my daily piece and I should be able to work it in between times I need to be on hand for the event.

Have a wonderful week. Find what makes you smile. Love yourself.

Congratulations on finishing Owe Them All, I really do love that piece! You are moving right along on so many of your projects, I would lose track of so many...lol. Lately I'm trying to concentrate on just a few to get them finished up. It's always fun to visit and see all that you have been up to! Happy Stitching!

Nice stitching. The Halloween Sampler is cute. So you can stitch tent stitches and count them as a whole stitch? Weird.
