 Here we are in November. Seriously time needs to take a chill pill and SLOW down please. Lots to talk about. First let's see what I worked on last week...

Wednesday I went back to Halloween Quaker by Primrose Cottage to try to finish it up. 463 Wednesday 360 Thursday. 390 Friday. Didn't finish it yet but soooo close...

Saturday and Sunday I worked on Autumn Line Up by The Trilogy. Added 254 Saturday and 567 Sunday and I'm close to finished with this one too...

So hopefully 2 finishes coming soon.

Saturday I went to a friend's stitching day event. She hosted from 10 - 5 at a gathering rental building only like 45 mins away. It was nice. 20 people showed up. We had a little bagged lunch catered. It was a lovely day. Too short of course but that's okay. Fred got a ton of stuff done here at home and it was nice to come home to lots of things marked off the to do list.

While at the gathering a friend gifted me a HUGE amount of GORGEOUS 40ct evenweave she isn't going to use...

I can't wait to find the perfect patterns to use these beautiful fabrics with. 

I also forgot to share a haul I received in the mail. I bought from Tiny Hummingbird Stitchery (on Facebook)...

Yep two more gorgeous pieces of fabrics and more charts haha. Love them all. Planning for next year coming soon. Can't wait!!

Okay see I said Lots of talk about. October Recap...

I stitched 11,032 stitches. Worked on 9 Projects. Started 1. Finished 2. I missed two acrostics but that's okay I was working on some pieces that became focus stitches instead. 

Here are my plans for November...

Semi Sane FB group has this fun challenge this month...

I was stole from one time and I stole one every day so far. So I have 12 bags right now. I was forced (peer pressure is strong with stitchers!) to join a new FB group game that is based on Roller Coaster Tycoon. Oh my it's fun so far. Basically you build your own theme park with stitches. So fun so far and seriously so motivating. So I must stitch as much as possible to keep my park growing haha. 

We have some fun plans in November. Starting our Christmas family shopping together. Fred has a weekend he in in Fort Wayne which is strategically IHSW so hopefully I'll get a wonderful stitching weekend that weekend. Anyway I have to get stuff done and go stitch. 

Love yourself. Find endless reasons to smile. Stitch all the things!
