Happy Halloween

Today I thought I'd share a couple of pictures of my current dining room decorations.  Since today is Halloween I'll be taking them down soon to make way for  Thanksgiving.

Have a wonderful day.

A Finish and A Start

Last night I was able to assemble Beggar's Night.  I am pleased with the way this turned out. I chose to use green chenille trim instead of the orangey color that I had.  I liked the green better.

I also started His and Hers Thanksgiving Stockings by Plum Street Samplers.  I am using 36 count Lambswool since I had some of that in my stash.

I tried to upload my photos earlier today but had some trouble.  Seems to be working ok now.

Have a great evening.   I'm off to the happy chair.

Beggar's Night - Last Stitches

Last night I took the last stitches in Beggar's Night. I hope that I can finish this tonight or tomorrow night so that I can at least have it out on Halloween Night

 

 

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Beggar's Night and Do Nothing Day

So, how was your weekend?  Mine was good.

Saturday I spent a fair amount of time getting my living room and hall floors cleaned.  It took way longer than I had estimated.  But, I am happy with the result and that makes it worth all the time it took.  I'm not so happy with the wax that I used and will have to look for something else. 

I don't know about you, but I am feeling like it is time to get the house all cozied up for the months ahead.  The long time of being in at night.  I think that explains my recent bout of nesting or maybe more appropriately nestling.

Yesterday, Sunday, was what I designated as Do Nothing Day.  I had intended not to do any housework or necessary tasks.  Of course, due to my contrary nature, I couldn't help but put away several loads of laundry.  And do two more loads of laundry so that the baskets would be empty at the beginning of the week.

I did however, find some time to work on Beggar's Night.  I am pleased with the progress I made yesterday.  I hope to finish stitching this guy in the next couple of evenings.

For now he will join his other friends in the to be finished box. 

I hope to be able to sit down this weekend and put a few of these together. 

Have a thrilling Thursday.

Beggar's Night - Wednesday

Here is a little picture of what I accomplished last night.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Beggar's Night - Monday Update

I made more progress on Beggar's Night yesterday.  I've moved beyond the Pumpkin Pie and am adding some other colors.

Maybe I can start on the pumpkin tonight.

Have a wonderful Monday!
