When We Last Left Our Plucky Stitcher....

She acquired some stash (Shh-hh-h, that's not all of it!).
(Pics are clickable)

She contemplated Halloween / Autumn /Christmas stitching:


Made progress on the Beeman's Garden but didn't finish it in time to get framed: 


Stalled on Do Unto Others:


Love that hive!!!


Got "Bewitched"


Picked out a frame for the little witch: (Aquired at HomeGoods, my new BFF store!)


Pattern for the little witch cause I know you'll ask.


Candy Corn too!


And finished Lizzie*Kate's Halloween to be made into a long cube using the fabric behind it:


Stitched up a linen pumpkin (I see more of these in my future!):


Pulled out another finish that has been buried far too long (Stitched when Mike was 6 and he's now 24. Do the math.) and will be made into a wallhanging:

And contemplated working out until Miss Ella beat her to the treadmill.


I took pics of my stitching /craft room too but I won't bore you with all of them just yet.  Here's a tease though:

So my friends, there you go!  A post with PICTURES!! Go me!  LOL!!!
Thanks for coming by and seeing what's going on in my world.
Keep stitching, kids.

You did a beautiful job on BeeMan's satin stitched hive. Lots of other nice designs - a few I'd like to get. Who designed the pattern for the pumpkin? I haven't found a squished one and that's exactly what I'm looking for.
