October is going to be fun. Jen posted two different acrostics AUTUMN HARVEST and DARK OCTOBER XS. You can do both. You can do one. You can do neither.

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!

2 Finishes to Report

I finished the last of the Cricket Collection seasons. Now I need to take them to my framer so they will be ready to be put on the wall. Spring is still hanging right now haha. They sure were fun stitches. I saw they made monthly ones but I don't think I will be doing them any time soon haha. The seasons are enough. I already have a million other pieces screaming STITCH ME. After finishing Autumn I needed something else to work on for the weekend. I really want to start something new. (I'll get to that in a minute.) Anyway Jeremiah said Work on the Pirate Ship. I said Oh yeah I haven't made any progress on it in awhile. So I worked on it Saturday and Sunday and finished page 4...
This is just too much fun to stitch and then backstitch and see what little details pop out. Now I have a piece I need to do for my step mom. She found it and decided I could do the top for her...
I'm just doing the tin top. It's a Just Nan Over the Top 2009 kit. I have everything ready to go so I can get it finished for her. Then I realized I was really in the mood for Halloween. So I got to looking through my stash and found this...
Glendon Place Ghoul School. It's really just a haunted school not really Halloween only. Jeremiah and I said we would leave it up in our school room year round so it can haunt us. So I'm going to put this in place of the Seasonal pieces on my Turtle Trot list. I kitted it up today so I'm ready to go as soon as I finish the little tin top piece.
