It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like ... December

I've spent some time this evening getting the November monthly pieces put away and the December pieces out and set around.  And I actually have a finish to show you today!

First up - Fun Every Day switched over to December with the appropriate symbol on the right.

I put out these guys -

I flipped the page on this one

And I brought the Advent calendar down from the attic and hung it in the dining room.  I put on the one little ornament for the 1st.  It looks pretty lonely.  I also sent the kids a text letting them know that I had their backs and would be taking good care of the calendar this year.

And my finish - A Year in Chalk: December by Hands On Design.  I found this cute frame at Hobby Lobby in the Spring, on sale, thankyouverymuch.  And knew it would be perfect for these little pieces.  I ironed some fusible batting to the back and ta-done!  Easy peasy! I can switch these every month - of course, I need to do the magic ironing thing to the other 11 first.

Thanks for stopping by.

Keep on Stitching!

Saturday

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  It's been cloudy here today with a few little rain showers.

My priorities for today were to drive my car for the first time post surgery. And to go for a walk.  I did both.  I didn't have much trouble driving, getting in and out of the car is more painful than actually driving.  I did manage a  bit of a walk - maybe a half mile to one of my favorite places along the Lehigh River.  You can look across the waterfall to a Locktender's house which is located in another park across the river.

On the stitching front I finished stitching June:  A Year in Chalk by Hands on Designs.

I love the whimsy of these designs.  And how quick they are to stitch provided I use a higher magnification in my glasses.

I made a start on July:  A Year in Chalk also by Hands on Designs - I hope to finish stitching this one tonight.   And maybe, just maybe get a little start on August.

I found this picture of a wreath I made earlier this Fall on my phone.  My daughter was able to pick up the mini Indian corn on one of her weekends home with friends.  I think she found these the day they went apple picking.  I found this idea on Pinterest and am totally pleased with the outcome.  Quick and easy.

One final picture - today's calendar view.

Have a great evening.

Keep on Stitching!

Thursday

Back again.  I did finish the birthday project I alluded to yesterday.  But can't show it just yet. Tomorrow, I hope.

I did manage to put a few more stitches in June:  A Year in Chalk by Hands on Design.

And a view of my stitching station set up near my love seat - my current perch for stitching on a daily basis.   The pumpkin is holding my orts for the past couple of weeks.  I don't think this will be permanent arrangement but it's working for me while I recuperate.

Have a great evening!

Keep on Stitching!
