Sunday Starts

Cannot believe it is almost

 mid October already

Where has the year gone?

For my October starts,

decided on these.

First Oswald by Notforgotten Farm.

I actually got this much completed

in one evening of stitching.

He is going to be adorable!

 

With limited time for stitching,

I decided on just a few smalls.

This pattern is called Slightly Spooky

by Little Robin Designs.

Am hoping I can get all three 

completed this month.

I started on this one first.

Figured if I did the black one first,

it would be outta the way for the others.

I finished the row of kitties 

plus the top border in one evening. 

Will stitch all three on

32ct Steel linen by Fiber On A Whim.

This linen is gray in color 

with green undertones.

I wanted a more spookier fabric color

than stitching on a white like

the pattern called for.

Am happy thus far.

Well I changed my mind and decided 

to start all three.

I stitched the top border of BOO & these ghosts

looked sad to me.

Even Bob could not see they were ghosts.

Back to the drawing board.

Started again with a darker orange.

The third pattern is Oct 31st.

This is my one evening start on this one.

Day 2 of Evening stitching.

Taking one evening to stitch one pattern. 

That was a total of 3 nights worth of stitching. 

Day 2 I was only able to get

 the one EEK word accomplished 

Day 2 for Boo.

I first had to frog out all of that other orange.

Then had to re-stitch.

At least I can tell these are ghosts now.

Day 2 working on Oct 31.

One ghost and another pumpkin.

In other news,

my mom had a follow up appt.

with her surgeon on Friday.

He told her he had to do a

reverse shoulder replacement surgery.

Her shoulder was broke in several

places with many bone fragments,

She is now in the early stages of healing.

It will take anywhere from 4 months

to a year to completely heal now.

At least my sister has now stepped up.

She will take care of mom when she

gets released from therapy.

The days she needs to work late,

my brother will go and stay with my mom.

He lives 10 minutes from my sister.

She called me and said that I had taken

care of mom before and it was their turn.

Even though the covid restrictions

are not lifted until Thursday...

I did stay and visit with my mom 

for an hour yesterday.

No one kicked me out and there were

a few that saw me in her room. 

Well of to find me some breakfast.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Mid October Blessings To All!
