A couple more pumpkins are stuffed and ready for a piece of stick as the stalk. The crochet one was too holey, so it was cut open and the stuffing removed for another project.
The front left and back of the grey cardigan are finished, washed and are drying. Fingers crossed, it will be finished in about three weeks.
Oops! The heart flipped upside down.
I held my breathe the whole time I was turning this one out the right way, as the spider head and body are woven onto a few long stitches in a spiral, not sewn down. They both stayed in place.
I'm thinking about adding some tiny leaves to look like they're blowing down under the fence. It looks a bit bare.
Sewing these up was a squirrel. I'd gone into the craft room to cut up and sew more string blocks. The cross stitch finishing pile was sitting next to the sewing machine, mocking me. It's been halved. Now there's just a tiny, fiddly stocking and a couple that I have no idea how to finish.
ORP - old random project. Much more fun than UFO. 😉

Catching Up Part 2
Pulled everything together ready to sew. I'll just work my way through the pile. Thinking about swapping the striped fabric for something with a small print.
Catching Up Part 1
It's been a busy couple of weeks and I'm starting to have withdrawals from not reading blogs and writing mine. It's split in two because I squirreled last night when downloading the photos and forgot half of them.

Had a now or never moment this evening and recorded a Flosstube video.....with the sound off! Having the sound on was kind of important this time since I talked all the way through it! It's up now. Here's the link, if you'd like to watch. 😁
