Woke up to a gloomy, rainy day this morning and it's been breezy and raining steady all day. Perfect fall day! I could stand it to be just a few degrees cooler, however, it's a bit muggy. Yesterday's 66 degrees was really nice. I'd like to say I took the opportunity to sit and stitch and watch something good on TV, but I have spent the majority of the day cleaning out a file cabinet. And I haven't made much of a dent yet, but at least I can see progress. And I can now shove a piece of paper or two into it again, lol.
Just Nan's Miss Witchy Mouse stitching was finished last week, now I just have to find a day to be able to sit and put it together. This was a very fun stitch!
I have only two more bands on the Autumn Romance sampler to do now. No picture of that one as it's all rolled up on the scroll rods.
And Curl Up has gotten a bit of love the past few weeks. I was suprised when I compared it to the last picture on here.
I'm hoping I can settle in after dinner and get a few stitches in, probably on Curl Up. I'm not sure I'm up to the metallic in the next band on the sampler today.
I've been working on that to-do list. I got my 15 sided biscornu put together.
You can find the pattern on Kathrin's Blog. This one turned out bigger than I really wanted on 28 count, so if I ever do another one, it will be on higher count fabric. And I really want to do another one some day.
I'm 3/4 done with the stitching on Just Nan's Witchy Mouse. I've hit a little speed bump with that one. I think it's because if I actually finish the last little bit of stitching, then I am obligated to put it together, lol. I'm already looking forward to stitching the two Christmas mice.
I've completed three more bands on my Autumn Romance sampler. Only three more left to go.
I'm in a huge block of black on Curl Up and I've been pecking away at that a little. My urge to stitch hasn't been very strong the last couple of weeks, unfortunately. I think about stitching. I even want to stitch on my projects. I just can't seem to get enough gumption to pick it up and stitch on it.
Sorry for the lack of pictures. Did I mention I am feeling a little bit gumptionless (yes, I did just make that word up, lol) lately? My get up and go has got up and gone without me. And for a non-energetic person such as myself, it makes life that much harder. But I have vacation time in 4 weeks...
I have not touched any other stitching this week. I have been kitting up several pieces, though. Now I just have to put together my 15 sided Christmas ornament and work on VS Autumn Romance this upcoming week. Then, I think I will do the new Just Nan Witchy Mouse. After that, will be VS Winter Garden Sampler and Trick or Treat Sampler. All plans are subject to change without notice.
I found a few videos on YouTube this week that I think are worth sharing. Here is the first, Bach Trio Sonata for Oboe and Harpsichord.
The curtain is pretty much done! I would have a page 2 fnish, but the black on the bottom corner bleeds over from pages 3 and 4, so it will be awhile before I have an official page 2 finish. I'm going to do that black here and there while I work on the page under page 1.
It's too bad all my HAED's don't stitch up this fast! I did pick up both Sanctuary and Dress Of Daydreams and do a (very) few stitches on both. Not enough progress to take a picture of, though.
Over halfway through page 2 now. I love, love, love stitching this one!
And I keep forgetting to show my framed pieces I got back in June.

I'm starting to get a little case of finishitis, I think. I have a couple of small projects in progress that I want to finally get finished up. I feel like I've made more progress this year than I have in a long time. Of course, I just ordered fabric for 6 charts, so there will be no catching up any time soon!
