Dessert of the Month: October

If you can’t tell I am WAY behind on these Desserts of the Month patterns that I started last year.  Months ago I finally got around to finishing October.  So yeah---almost there but still seems like so much more to stitch.  Not to mention that I’m now 5 months behind on this year’s patterns of the month!  Eek.  Oh well so it goes.  So here she is—October’s sweet little jack-o-lantern filled with treats.  Again, you can find the patterns at Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery!

Fellowship of The Stitch

Um, hello?  Is anybody out there? Gosh oh gosh it’s been a while.  This poor neglected blog!  I just haven’t had a lot of time for my stitching or painting since the baby but you know what---it’s OK.  I kinda like having the little dude occupy my time.   But I have been stealing moments here and there for some stitching, primarily staying up late on Saturday nights. I finally finished this piece for the hubby.

I had originally planned to have this finished for Christmas…boy that was wishful thinking.  So he got it for his birthday a little over a week ago.  It’s this fun pattern from Wee Little Stitches of the characters from The Lord of the Rings, one of hubby’s favorite books and movies.  It was fun to stitch and the simple design actually makes for quick stitching when you have more than ten minutes at a time to sit and work on it.

As usual, I made a few mistakes, mostly with colors this time for some reason (probably because I was stitching late at night trying not to fall asleep and misreading the chart) but it’s not terribly noticeable so I just let it go.  Anyway—it’s finished so now I can move on to the next thing that will take me months to finish!  hehe

Later!
