September-Smalls SAL Check-In

Good Afternoon,
Gosh, the month got away with me but here we are, Autumn.  My favorite time of the year.  I have a few stitchy things to show you, 1 that I fully finished less than an hour ago. 

My first finish of the month was September's A Year In Cupcake.  I just love this cute till squirrel.  Now that I live in a house that is surrounded by trees, I get to see squirrels all the time.  We just love to sit and watch them sometimes.

2nd finish is Think Autumn by Lizzie Kate.  I just love how this turned out.  I am now done with this series which is a bummer because they were such a fun stitch.  I didn't use the called for colors, I just chose colors close to the picture.

Last but not least, I have a page finish on Still Life with Sunflowers.  Only 35 pages left.  Haha.  I haven't picked this back up for a few weeks, so hopefully I can work on it over the weekend.

What it will look like when done.

Well, I am going to go look at everyone else's wonderful work.  Hope you have a great weekend.
Mary

Non-Stitchy Finishes

Happy Sunday y'all,

How have you been?  I have been busy with cross stitch and other crafts but today I thought I would post my non-stitchy projects.  This Friday is Smalls Check-in for September so I will show you all the cross stitch projects then.

Well the first thing I wanted to show you was a wreath I made for my dad.  His birthday was yesterday and he really liked it.  I used a different technique than the first wreath.  It is done with different size ribbon.  I also found the pendant on Ebay.  He is a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan.

The second finish I have is some napkin rings I made for my mom.  When my kids were younger and we were visiting my parents they somehow got a hold of her ceramic napkin rings she made long ago.  They broke one and I always felt bad about that.  I know they can't be replaced but I hope she likes them anyway.  I used recycled paper towel rolls, ribbon and stickers from the scrapbook aisle.  I think they are really pretty in person.

Thanks so much for looking and have a fabulous week.
Mary
