Saturday Sampler: Bunnies and Babies Edition

 

Spring is springing around here, but before I get to that I want to thank you all for your kind and thoughtful comments on my last post. To reassure everyone, I'm NOT thinking of quitting. I just wanted to put some words of encouragement out into the universe for anyone who might be thinking they should quit, even though they enjoy it. Thank YOU for encouraging ME.

It's busy at my house. I'm cleaning, cleaning out, puttering outside and getting dirty, re-doing and streamlining my spring decor, planning my 250th stitching, shopping for Market goodies (good stuff this year!), working on Christmas Open House (!), and of course, taking care of Mr. Wonderful and the baby werewolves. They are busy as well, watching the birds and the squirrels, including the finches nesting on the front porch (more on that later). Lots of spring busyness happening here. 

I've got a few more non-stitchy posts coming up, but bear with me... I will get back to sharing stitching stuff! Hope you're all well and seeing signs of spring!

Happy Stitching!

Feverishly working to finish up Christmas Open House! I've never been this late before, but then, I've never had a year like this before. Don't worry, it's happening! My not-so-little fuzzy helpers are being very good and letting me work. Except when they need snuggles.

Happy Stitching!

Happy Halloween!

 

Halloween always kicks off the holiday season at our house, and we carry on right through New Year's Day. For the last three years, we've also had an extra day to celebrate: the 29th, when we brought our wee werewolves home.

Their first Halloween. They'll always be my Halloween babies. Little black and orange nuggets. 

I've been stitching away on a little design from Haunting Halloween by The Drawn Thread. A fun, quick stitch. 

I used GAST Buttercrunch for the yellow and GAST Bayberry for the green. I stitched everything using my mismatched strands method for a smoother look.

Looking forward to an evening of handing out candy (and eating it), watching old scary movies, and snacking! Happy Halloween!

Bonus: Rare photo of me the first time overnight low temperatures dip into the 40s.😂
