Saturday Sampler: Good Week Edition

Y'all, I think this may have been the first normal, uneventful, quiet week we have had since we moved here 4 1/2 months ago. Nothing bad/weird/inconvenient/irritating happened! (So, so thankful.) On the contrary, it was a good stitchy week! I finished my most challenging Christmas Open House project, and I also got another pumpkin done.

I found this adorable fabric at Walmart. I have no idea what I'll do with it, but look at their tiny wiiiiings! 

I finally got my mitts on this new Drawn Thread design. Y'all knew it would be coming to live here when you saw it!

I got this very cute little holder for needlework stuffs. I haven't road tested it yet, though.

I was able to visit my local quilt shop--which has Cosmo threads!--and picked up some gorgeous pinks and greens for my sewing room Christmas ornaments projects. I'm slowly building my Cosmo stash.



They have hand-crafted caramels on the counter by the register. This is my Emergency Caramel. (I recommend everyone have an Emergency Caramel.)

And best of all, Tiger Lily had her first appointment with her new vet on Friday and our 13-year-old girl got a good report! 

I'm putting in some work on Autumn Sampler this weekend, and Monday I plan to set to work on my next Christmas Open House project. 

Hope everyone has a quiet and safe holiday weekend!

  2. I have been watching your progress on those beautiful pumpkins and I just now realized that there is an Owl on the black/gray pumpkin. Lovely stitching stash and so glad Miss Tiger Lily got a good report from her new vet. Have a great weekend.

  5. Who knew that emergency caramel was a thing? However, I quite agree that it is something probably missing from my life. We don't get Cosmos threads in the UK so have never tried them, your fabric is lovely colours and the threads go so well with them. x

  6. Good for Miss Tiger Lily! Hmm, on the emergency caramel! Guess that means I need to stop at Yoder's Market on Tuesday! Can I tease you with autumn sprinkles? Well done on getting another pumpkin stitched as well as getting your challenging open house piece finished. Now you have me wondering what that is! Those Cosmos threads are gorgeous. I am glad you had an uneventful week and I wish you another this week.

  7. Oooooh.... I will have to live to be 300 years old in order to finish all the patterns I have on hand, but that pumpkin design is a MUST have. My husband would disagree.

    Your stitching is so lovely......
