August stitching and some haul

Hello, back again with some wips that I've been working on the past few weeks, since now that I'm in the mood to stitch autumn colors. I started these last year and I really want to get them done this year, I can only hope. I also have some charts and books that I recently bought, yay!

Pumpkin Hollow Farms by Little House Needleworks. Stitched on 28 count coffee-tea dyed Monaco evenweave.


Pumpkins 4 Sale by Little House Needleworks. Stitched on 28 count coffee-tea dyed evenweave.


Yay, this is close to being done. Can you see the little mouse peeking out from the pumpkin?

Autumn Tree designed by Barbara Ana Designs. Stitched on 28 count, coffee-tea dyed evenweave.


I know, do you think I could have at least stitched on her head before putting this piece away? Oh well, I'll get back to it in a few weeks.

Babushka's Blossoms by Plum Street Samplers, Stitched on 14 count Aida, Oatmeal,


I'll be stitching the very large pumpkin she's standing on soon. I don't think I'll have this one done this year, but you never know.

Today I'm working on Be Thankful by Country Cottage Needleworks. I didn't get very much done when I started this last year, but last night I worked on the letters and it looks like I'm going to change the top border, from DMC 433 and use the other called for color, Classic Colorworks Roasted Chestnut. Hopefully I can get the top portion done tonight and then start on the pumpkins tomorrow.


Some of the books I bought were Blackbird Designs Sewing Club, Ooh La La, and Home For the Holidays. I can't wait to get started on some of the charts. Also, His and Hers Thanksgiving by Plum Street Samplers. I might have to drop everything and start on those! Love the stocking!

Oh, and another one is When Witches Go Riding by the Prairie Schooler, I'm surprised I don't have any Halloween projects started, so this might be my one to start. I also received the new Halloween issue of Just Cross Stitch magazine. There are so many fun projects in that issue. Also I'm anxious to get this one started that I found in the 2013 Halloween issue. She's so cute!

Okay, this is getting a little long and I'll post more about the new charts I bought, but I really want to get back to stitching! 

Take care and have a great day!

Happy stitching!

  Well, not yet, but real soon because my daughter found a Halloween cross-stitch booklet that I thought I lost forever. So my plans are to ...
