A quick fly by post to blog a progress update on two of my current work-in-progress (aka: WIPs) projects. Above, project on page 28 from the Stitches from the Harvest book by Kathy Schmitz. Currently working on the small acorns, next the bird and the tiny stem with the round designs. This one is the Count Your Blessings cross stitch design by Country Cottage Needleworks. The flock is done, next is filling in the grass and keep building the house ;-). Hoping y'all are doing well! I've been trying to reply to comments and leave comments on some blogs, but for some reason after I try posting the reply and/or comment... the reply and/or comment doesn't go thru, it doesn't show. Hmmm, not sure what is going on. Oh well, I'll keep trying!  Until next time!

We met some new friends, and got to know some -not so new friends- a bit better. The littles are doing great with their homeschool curriculums, playdates, and their personal spiritual goals as well. Didn't have much time to stitch in October, but I'm starting this month with a little bit of stitching. Wasn't able to complete it (spent a couple of minutes reaping out and restitching the tail do to miscounting). I t is not much, but I'm just warming up my needle ;-).  Most of my house chores are done, just a quick errand tomorrow to grab a few groceries & toiletries, so perhaps once back I might be able to complete this sheep and the last one. I'm still not looking forward to stitching all that grass :-/. Oh, have you seen/tried these Krispy Kreme Glazed Pumpkin Spice  doughnuts? So Good!!! They are quite sweet do to the glazing, but...
