YOP Week #16

Grab yourself a "cuppa" as I have lots to show you!  I have 5 FFO's....final finished objects!  Yes, you heard right 5!  The grands 2020 Halloween collectible ornaments!  Ta Dah!  They have their initials and the year on them in the lower left corner.

Here's the back of them...I used Lori Holt's tutorial on finishing and I used little black "light bulb"safetypins and my vintage buttons.

I also final finished my 2 ornaments.............

and the backs.......

I worked on my Brill shawl but I ran out of yarn!  See that little tiny ball of blue yarn on the right?  I only got one row of blue and a little bit more out of 1 skein!  The pattern called for 1 skein and there are 10 rows of blue!  Huh?  I knit tightly too so this pattern was way off!  This was from Pom Pom magazine.  When I bought the pattern there were no notices that there was a mistake and it is from an older magazine.  Part of the reason I wanted to make it was it only called for 3 skeins of yarn.  So, I will be ordering more yarn for sure!  I love it so I will definitely finish it!

I worked on my sock when I ran out of yarn on Brill....I will continue to until the yarn arrives

I also worked on When Witches Go Riding by Prairie Schooler......love this and love working on it!  This week I did the owl and the branch and the words on that area....

The last thing I worked on was the red bird cross stitch using silk thread which is a dream to work with.....

Now for acquisitions and I have a whole bunch!  They all came in at once even though I ordered them weeks apart............first, a sewing notebook with zippered bags for patterns and such..........this was from Lori Holt at Fat Quarter Shop.  I 'm hoping this will help me to be more organized.....

Some Flea Market fabric and some Christmas fabric..........charm packs which are 5" squares.  I love the flea market mix and may be ordering yardage for curtains later on.

This is a pattern I've been wanting..........and I need to order the box to put it in!

Now, get ready for the grand finale!  Coming to America Celebrating 400 years!  1620 - 2020 by With Thy Needle and Thread......this is the box it came in..........

It came with everything but the fabric........and more!

It came with hand-dyed floss and the pattern.......

It also included another pattern about the harvest, a little pilgrim girl needle minder, a little pamphlet on the history of the women of the Mayflower, a sticker to fill out and put on the back of your needlework when finished, a needle card and another little photo....

I am over the moon about this kit!  I got it though Kitten Stitcher.  I have to find fabric for it but I will definitely start in 2020 even though I know I won't finish it then but this is the anniversary year so I must start it this year.  It's been out for awhile but I just didn't know about it.  L O V E!!!

I also got some Fall candles from Bath and Body as I had a coupon and they were having a sale!  These 2 fragrances are over the top!  So good!  The first one is Dutch Apple Waffle.....yum!

The second one is Pumpkin Snickerdoodle...another YUM!

I haven't burned them yet but I have been lifting the lids and taking a few whiffs!   My daughter told me they now have a BOGO for their candles and new scents!  Uh oh!  I may have to take a look!  Part of my stockpiling for Winter you know!

I hope you've had a great week, and that you are well and safe.

Happy Trails!!!
