I DID IT--

 We need to back up to Sunday afternoon--one of the things on September's goals list--

was to finish my monthly counted cross stitch Word Plays, for displaying--

But as the month marched on and the days got less and less--I did figure they would not get done--

Sunday morning I was working on my present cross stitching--you know the mouse witch and was thinking about what I might to like to cross stitch next--when I remember the October word play I had done--so I thought to myself--I will get them out and at least do the 4 (Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec-) ones!!

When I did find them all easily--I had all '12' of them in the bag--I started this series years ago--like maybe in early 2000's--and I got 4 of them done--and turned them into little pillow--only to change them again a few years later--

and this time they got changed a third time--

When I first started this series, I used the colors that they pretty much suggested in the patterns--

so these are more country/primitive looking--

then when I lived in NY last year--I did the May one--I happened to have bought it when I bought these first 4--and once that one was done--I just ordered them a couple at a time--

the next 4 months--I used lighter backgrounds and my own color selections--

So by the time I got to stitching the last 4 --I was adventurous and used even brighter backgrounds and colors--

and then they were all done--

And guess what--by 4pm on Sunday--

I had all '12' ready for displaying--

well they are almost ready--

the first step here was getting them wrapped and glued around cake board--

Next I will do a board with fabric to each theme to go behind them and then they will be displayed on a nice wooden frame I have--

So the first one will be this one--

But it has to wait until I go shopping for the backgound fabric--hopefully by this week end???

So--I did get another--to do--marked off of September's list!!!

Later in the day--

I got another little Christmas stitchery finished--

and have started the 3rd one!!

And I have gotten all these baby hats knitted--

I used up alot of little balls of odds and ends of yarn in making these--

and now am back to knitting the sweaters--

hope to get these and the sweaters I have done so far in the mail real soon--

Now this week I have been working really hard on some sewing--

but will wait and show you when I get them finished--

And tomorrow makes the beginning of a new month--October--

time to set some new goals and to do a post of finishes for September--

so be sure to stay tuned for those posts!!!!

TAKE TIME TO JUST BE IN THE MOMENT--
