Seasonal Autumn Exchanges

Oh my poor neglected blog.... Did anybody even miss me????

I have some exchanges to share. Will start with this post for the Autumn Seasonal Exchange. My partner in this exchange is Sharon, and I am thrilled to be able to stitch for her! Here is a picture of what I sent to Sharon for the Autumn Exchange: (can you see 'quality control' checking it out?)

Bent Creek "Signs of Autumn"
32ct. cream linen w/DMC
finished a pinkeep for post stand

And here is a picture of the whole goodie package!


Now.... Sharon outdid herself in the package I received! She stitched the most beautiful pinkeep by Lizzie Kate. I absolutely love it!!!


And, if that wasn't enough... look at all that was jam-packed into the box!


I feel truly spoiled... Thank you sooo much, Sharon! (I'm off to Hobby Lobby tomorrow to get a stand for the plate and pinkeep!)

Okay... I can't promise I will post every day, but, I am going to try to commit to a blog post at least once a week! I have so much to catch up on.

Till later -- keep the needles humming!

Autumn is here!

The weather is starting to turn a little cooler -- at least at night! And, after all, the calendar says that Autumn is here! So... I did a little bit of adding some color to the outside --

Here is my front porch. I added some fall leaf garland around the door, a fall wreath, and also some leaf garland and touches to the geranium basket and flower box.


Here is my birdhouse stand. I added garland to that too!


And, I've been doing some fall type stitching!

"A Pumpkin Sampler"
Window Garden Designs
Stitched on 28ct. Annabelle Potato w/DMC

This was stitched just for fun... I think I'll finish it into a box type thing... or something else. Any suggestions?

"Pumpkins"
LHN Thread Pack w/Crescent Colors
Stitched on 28ct. Annabelle Potato

I stitched "Pumpkins" as part of the SAL on the LHN/CCN Yahoo group. It stitched up really fast, and was a joy to stitch! I'm thinking of finishing this one into a flat fold stand-up. I also have the "Acorns" pack to stitch up this month, as part of the Thread Pack SAL.

I hope everyone is having a great Autumn! This is one of my favorite times of the year!

I am way behind on reading blogs.... My son says he thinks the power supply is dying in my computer.... :-( Good thing he can fix these types of things!

Happy Stitching! Thanks so much for stopping by, and leaving comments -- it is much appreciated!

Stitching on today: It's a secret!!!
