But first here is the Month of October counted Cross stitch from a few years ago--believe this background color is the darkest fabric I have ever worked with--don't remember it being a big problem--this was 28 ct linen--
First up--
I did some Fall embroideries last month and this week those got put into finishes--
both are Melisa's designs--I did get out my 'fall' fabrics--only what I had did not go with my decor at all--way too dark--these seemed to go better and look better on my bed where I display them--and I did change out my comforter yesterday--took the pink one off and put the Navy blue one on for the fall and winter!!
October's heart block, and this one got hung up this morning after it's photo-shoot!!
I did get this 'old' counted cross stitching blocks all finished--I kinda don't like the black lattice but--I am not changing it--this is the 3 or 4th time I have tried to finish off these 12 blocks--at one point there was buttons--at least one per block--who knows-- with my moving around the last 10 years-- where they are????
this is the one I am working on hand quilting now
the Mr Jack top--the color is way off on this one today--
In counted cross stitchings--
I got this Sunflower ABC piece done--
And I found this one all stitched but not finished off in the project box with the other fall pieces, I did--so Mr. Turkey got finished--do want to find some braid,around each, for both of these projects--but at Amazon's price per spool it runs about $10--each--not sure that is in my budget????
And here is the present Counted cross stitch project I am working on--
Okkkk--so where are you going with this one, Di????
Can you believe I am attempting this piece--and would love to have it done by this Christmas--well--maybe by next Christmas!!! as I do have a couple, much simpler, Thanksgiving pieces I want to do also!!????? This pattern definitely needs to be enlarged and just know as I am getting ready to do that, wreath, and all it's color changes--like 6-7-I am going to enlarge that area again!!!!
Now don't forget about my knitting--
and another sweater is finished and again--there is 2 more sweaters on needles!!
What is up for this next week???? Well--I have started my Fall cleaning yesterday and need to continue that this week and changing over the china cabinet with the blue dishes and decorating for Fall--so lots of things to work on there----

Happy Sunday, Di. Oh I just love your October Word finish. The fabric is so yummy. And your stitcheries are gorgeous! I cannot thank you enough for working on so many of my humble designs. I just love the pillow finish and what a wonderful idea to use the Halloween fabric for the backing so you can use them for Halloween too. Your sheep quilt is stunning and so sweet and I loved seeing your mini samplers ( Thank you again) . Great start on the stocking. I have no doubt that you will get it done. I am cheering you on. Have a great week. Hugs.
You always have so many great things for each season to decorate.
The quilt looks lovely and you've knitted up a sweet beanie and cardigan too.
Wow, you had a very, very productive week. Lots of fun all decorations ready to go. Happy stitching this week and good luck with the fall clean up. I really, really should do the same.
Your heart finishes are adorable, Di! I love the crow fabric for the October heart. And your fall pillows are adorable, too! Lots of fun stuff going on at your place these days!
I am amazed by all of your projects. I came over from Melisa's post as she wanted us to see your cross stitch finishes. Well done!!!
Such darling finishes💖. I have those little sheep virtues kitted up to stitch and now I’m pretty sure I know how I want to finish them….Thanks to you! And that little cardigan is too cute! I wish I had half the energy that you and Melisa have for cross stitching and hand embroidery! You both AMAZE ME🤩. Happy Stitching from Arkansas!
So many fun finishes! You are on a roll. We have been getting rain - most of yesterday was off and on drizzle. We need it so I can't complain.
