Crows in Loops and Stitches

finally a rug off the frame

I started this one in late June I think

darn cross stitch got in the way

26 x 12

pattern available on Dorr linen

$50 shipped

 

a few mistakes 

led to fudging and I love it!

I stitch 1 over 2 on 32 count

makes for an older look I think

October Crow House

*****

Hope everyone is having a good week.

It went from hot

to unseasonably cool here. I'm fine with that. 

This morning I picked up a carload of containers

from my friend Bea's house

it's almost empty

her son was there to pack the car

He's in his mid 70s

He'd rather be golfing 

Bea's house is almost empty

soon to be for sale

Right now, she is in the hospital

went in yesterday with weakness and heart issues

she's 98 

 ready to join her husband

emptying her house of treasures

has really broken her heart

I'll pop in and see her tomorrow

Cross Stitching and Flosstube

I have been very busy hooking and stitching this week

My phone is nearly done for

replacement should arrive tomorrow 

then I will share photos

*****

I have been on a shopping spree like no other

watching flosstube videos with pen and paper in hand

I even ventured into my local needlework shop today

(I won't be going back)

My goal is to stitch all the smalls

I have no desire to have framed samplers

(I love them! But the cost of having them framed is prohibitive)

my walls are for quilts and hooked rugs

*****

Melrose hasn't been himself for a few weeks

finally going to the vet Monday...

it took a month wait for the appointment

*****

I am also heading to Bea's house Monday morning

she is selling off her belongings

then her son can sell her house

she collected and sold antiques

 she very excited that I love Americana!

Have a great rest of the day my friends.
