As they say, "Winter Is Coming". Wednesday, we had 3 inches of the wonderful white stuff land on the deck (and the yard). It packed down to one inch by evening. We can still see bits in the shade areas under some of the trees where the sun is not warming it. I guess I better bring in the last of the birdbaths and that pot. There are also two chairs on the deck that need to come in. On the list for tomorrow.
My blackwork squirrel has caught me. It is 100 little squares, and each square has a different center pattern. 18 count Aida cloth and stitched with one thread of DMC Black. Not much left to do.
Another squirrel came into my life, and it just had to get done. But it isn't quite finished. This is the Autumn Bag by Shepard's Bush. The buttons need to be stitched on and then it will be done. I love these project bags and couldn't resist. It has a pincushion and scissor fob that go with it. They have not been started and are being made to wait until the blackwork stitching is done.
I wish I could show you some quilting getting done but that energy is lost at the moment. It will come back, and it better be soon. To be fair to myself, other stuff has limited my stitching and sewing time.
Today I hope to be close to finishing the blackwork. Then the Autumn pincushion will be set up.
Linking to Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts. Enjoy your threads.
