Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 43 from Life in the Scrapatch

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 43

I have completed the stitching October Cross Stitch Along!

I have pulled fabrics and have a plan

for how I want to finish and display this next October.

I completed the stitching on last block late on Halloween night.

I have been enjoying this for a few days while I have decided that a few on my stitches need to be fixed before finishing. There is a letter in "Brew" that somehow got messed up while I was working on this that needs replacing. I have also decided that the colored lettering on ...

Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 41

Is it Wednesday already?

I have been sitting and slowly stitching.

Today I carried my stitching with me for my annual physical

I am well, it is just the routine stuff.

Here is my progress on my

October Halloween Stitch Along @ Pine Needles

This photo was taken a day or so ago.

I am not catching up very fast.

This weekend I have been able to stitch the daily block and one of the blocks that I need to complete to catch up with the daily posts for the

I am really enjoying this stitch along.

Today's block was this

Ghastly ~ Day 17

I decided to add black cross stitch eyes to the ghost

and add a few stars to the sky to add some sparkle to the blank space.

Today I also stitched the

Boo ~ Day 9

Stitchy Weekend ~ Part 1

I am still playing catch up with the

October Halloween Stitch Along @ Pine Needles

First I added one of the blocks that I needed do to catch up.

It is this Block 16 ~ Brew

Then I decided I could not resist stitching Saturday's Block,

Block 16 ~ Witch

next to her brew.

Magic Happened!

The bubbles floated over to the witch and the spoon jumped into her hand.

There is so much cute creativity in these little cross stitch motifs from the designer,

Sandra Workman @ Pine Needles

that they bring out my own creative spark when ...

A Good Day To Sit and Stitch from Life in the Scrapatch

After a day or two on more thinking than stitching on my

October Halloween Stitch Along @ Pine Needles

I added the block that says "WHO ..." which was designed to look like this:

Pine Needles SAL Block 13

In the original layout this block would appear to the right of the owl,

but because I changed the layout and added the Block 12 Owl in

a different spot with the wreath already on the right, I have to improvise.

I also had to frog a few leaf stitches out on my tree and extend it to the left.

Well, maybe I ...

Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 40 ~ More Sitting and Stitching from Life in the Scrapatch

Welcome to Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 40

I have been stitching ~ I have not been sewing.

It seems my vision issues allow me to choose one or the other and when I need to take a break from one, I need to take a break from the other.

I have also been helping Mr. Scrapatch who is replacing the ceiling and light in one of the bedrooms. In all honesty, he is doing all the actual work of tearing out the old and replacing with the new. My contribution is more as support staff.

No photos of this mess.
