Fall Is Here

 Happy Fall to all my amazing followers, there are a couple of blogs I cannot comment on, one is Stitching With Iris and Melanie The Whip slayer, not sure why Blogger is giving me a hard time.

I love fall but only for decorating purposes. I do not like chilly or cold weather, if its 90 out I am a happy women, I will be decorating outdoors today and hope to have it all finished if the phone guy gets here soon so i can start decorating the front porch.

I have done a bit of stitching, I did put aside the America The Beautiful by Teresa Kogut, I just wanted to stitch fall and some Christmas, normally I do not have more then one project going at a time, this is one exception for me.

                                                       This design is a Teresa Kogut 

My progress since Monday

Not much but a good start

I did a little decorating yesterday

This little guy is my favorite fall decoration, I think he is adorable

Its a little warmer here today in the upper sixties, the only problem I am having is the bee's they are horrible this yearm, I washed down the front porch today, they did not want me around, i did not get stung thankfully.

I will be posting again soon, today I had so many problems trying to upload photos that I only did a few.

I hope this week finds you all well and stitching away, stay healthy.

A Beautiful Summer

 Please Pray for the lost lives from 911, it was a terrible day in our American history, also pray for the remaining survivors who have many health problems from the fallout of the buildings coming down.

The family members also needs Prayers.

Some of you I am not able to comment on for some reason, I do apologize for not being able to it is a google problem.

 I want to thank all my followers who have left comments, you all are so kind and concern for my husband is heartwarming.

I have been stitching a bit on my Tersa Kogut Patreon stitch along, I am stopping for a bit, I did get the April, May, June and July designs stitched, I just need to move on to fall stitching, I do really like stitching this Stitch along, it is very beautiful design so far.

I have to show you what my dear friend from North Dakota gave me in an exchange at Needlework Guild retreat last month (so sorry It is a late post) LaRue

LaRue is a very Patriotic Lady, she is an amazing stitcher and amazing wife and a wonderful friend.

The sachet has such a beautiful odor, I have it in my walk-in closet.

She also gifted me these in a beautiful velvet bag

Love this bag so soft and pretty

I started stitching my fall designs I wanted to get done, one if from Kiralyns Needlarts, this is a free design, Carolyn has a free design each month, I do buy the finishing kits

I will construct it this weekend

This is another free design from Primrose cottage, I did buy the finishing kit but may change the fabric

I started this last evening

sorry about the wrinkle

I finished the Star Shaped Snowman, 

I wanted a flat finish and the wood piece worked

I cut out and constructed the Lemon Blueberry Mousse pin cushion

So sorry it is not the best photo

I have to show you what color our new siding is, I wanted a rust red mike wanted black, with his illness i just could not argue with what he wanted, it is actually very pretty with the cedar accents, he did the cedar front porch a couple years ago, we have had many compliments from so many driving by and neighbors

The above photo is not a very good one, the black shows so dark with the shade

That's it for now as you can tell I am not on the computer very often I do want to change that in the next few months

Have an amazing week of stitching and relaxing

Catherine
