Hi Y'all,
Wow! Can you believe that it is Labor Day weekend? It is a federal holiday celebrated in the United States to honor men and women in the work force. I hope everyone who celebrates has a fun extended weekend, and for those who don't celebrate it I hope you have a fabulous weekend too.
Well, this month began when my 2 youngest sons went back to school. That gave me about a week to hang out with my oldest son Bradley before he went off to college. He has been there for about 2 weeks and so far so good.
Even though it has been crazy getting back into our family routine I have been stitching up a storm.
I only have 1 small finish completed but I have been working non-stop on my rotation of larger projects. I even have a new start for Halloween. I love Halloween and it is my favorite holiday by far.
1st off is July's Cupcake by Durene Jones. I am a month behind but I am not worried. I have started on August and should hopefully be done by the end of the weekend.
This is part 7 in A Year In Cupcakes and I purchased the pattern in her ETSY shop.
I have really enjoyed stitching these cute cupcakes.
The second thing I wanted to show you is part 1 of Stitchonomy's 2019 Halloween SAL. I have no idea how I stumbled upon this designer but I am so glad I did. It is a free SAL and the link to sign up is Drawlloween2019
I am using some 28ct evenweave (I think it is Jubilee) it is a discontinued 100% cotton fabric. I eco-dyed it with black beans. I post how I did this next week. I didn't write the words or the symbols on the sides because I am waiting on the floss list. The link didn't work yesterday. It officially kicks off on October 1st.
Lastly is a non stitchy finish, I have been addicted to watching DIY projects on YouTube. I wanted to try my hand at making a wreath. I made this football one and my youngest son wants it. I have 2 more wreaths to make so stay tuned. It is simple but I love how it turned out. It looks better in person.
Now I am off to look at everyone's fabulous smalls. I hope you have a great month!
